PART 3 -EXECUTION
3.1 INSTALLATION, GENERAL
A.Set carpentry to required levels and lines, with members plumb, true to line, cut, and
fitted. Fit carpentry to other construction; scribe and cope as needed for accurate fit.
Locate nailers, blocking, and similar supports to comply with requirements for attaching
other construction.
B.Framing Standard: Comply with AF&PA's "Details for Conventional Wood Frame
Construction," unless otherwise indicated.
C.Provide blocking and framing as indicated and as required to support facing materials
and trim.
D.Sort and select lumber so that natural characteristics will not interfere with installation
or with fastening other materials to lumber. Do not use materials with defects that
interfere with function of member or pieces that are too small to use with minimum
number of joints or optimum joint arrangement.
E.Securely attach carpentry work to substrate by anchoring and fastening as indicated,
complying with the following:
1.NES NER-272 for power-driven fasteners.
2.Table 2304.9.1, "Fastening Schedule," in ICC's International Building Code.
3.Table 602.3(1), "Fastener Schedule for Structural Members," and Table 602.3(2),
"Alternate Attachments," in ICC's International One-and Two-Family Dwelling
Code.
F.Use common wire nails, unless otherwise indicated. Select fasteners of size that will
not fully penetrate members where opposite side will be exposed to view or will receive
finish materials. Make tight connections between members. Install fasteners without
splitting wood; do not countersink nail heads, unless otherwise indicated.
3.2 WOOD BLOCKING, AND NAILER INSTALLATION
A.Install where indicated and where required for attaching other work. Form to shapes
indicated and cut as required for true line and level of attached work. Coordinate
locations with other work involved.
B.Attach items to substrates to support applied loading. Recess bolts and nuts flush with
surfaces, unless otherwise indicated.
C.Provide permanent grounds of dressed, pressure-preservative-treated, key-beveled
lumber not less than 1-1/2 inches (38 mm)wide and of thickness required to bring face
of ground to exact thickness of finish material. Remove temporary grounds when no
longer required.

3.3 WOOD TRIM INSTALLATION
A.Install with minimum number of joints practical, using full-length pieces from maximum
lengths of lumber available. Do not use pieces less than 84 inches (2050 mm)long
except where necessary. Stagger joints in adjacent and related standing and running
trim. Cope at returns and miter at corners to produce tight-fitting joints with full-surface
contact throughout length of joint. Use scarf joints for end-to-end joints.
1.Drill pilot holes in hardwood before fastening to prevent splitting. Fasten with
square drive stainless steel finish screws as required to prevent movement or
warping. Countersink fastener heads and leave heads exposed.
2.Install to tolerance of 1/8 inch in 96 inches (3 mm in 2438 mm)for level and
plumb. Install adjoining finish carpentry with 1/32-inch (0.8-mm)maximum offset
for flush installation and 1/16-inch (1.6-mm)maximum offset for reveal
installation.
3.4 WOOD SHEATHING AND THERMAL STOP INSTALLATION
A.Roof Panel Replacement: Inspect existing wood sheathing for water damage, dry rot,
mildew or other defect that will affect structural performance. Locate existing framing
members and cut out plywood in panels no smaller than 24-inches wide by 48-inches
long and to ensure that at that replacement panels will span at least three joists with
face grain running perpendicular to the direction of framing members.Payment for
replacement of damaged roof panels is covered under Division 1 Section “Unit Prices.
B.Roof Panel Installation for Thermal Stops: Layout removal of 24-inch wide strip of
sheathing with exterior wall locations and existing framing members. Remove existing
roof sheathing to expose framing. Install blocking and thermal insulation for full depth
of joists space. Foam around edges of board insulation and reinstall roof panel in
lengths long enough to span at least three joists with face grain running perpendicular
to framing. End butt joints perpendicular to face grain on framing members or solid
blocking.
3.5 PROTECTION
A.Protect wood that has been treated with inorganic boron (SBX) from weather. If,
despite protection, inorganic boron-treated wood becomes wet, apply EPA-registered
borate treatment. Apply borate solution by spraying to comply with EPA-registered
label.
B.Protect rough carpentry from weather. If, despite protection, rough carpentry becomes
wet, apply EPA-registered borate treatment. Apply borate solution by spraying to
comply with EPA-registered label.
