JOINERY
=73. Joinery= includes all the interior and exterior finish put in
place after the framing and covering are completed; as, for example,
door and window frames, doors, baseboards, paneling, wainscoting,
stairs, etc. Most of these materials are worked at the mill and are
brought to the building ready to set in place.
=74. Frames.=—In taking off =door= and =window frames=, describe and
state sizes. Measure architraves by the running foot, giving width and
thickness, whether molded or plain, and state the number of plinth and
corner blocks.
=75. Sash.=—For =sash=, state dimensions (giving the width first);
thickness of the material, molded or plain; style of check-rail
and sill finish; thickness of sash bar; whether plain, single or
double-hung; and sizes (giving dimensions in inches) and number of
lights. Use standard sizes as much as possible.
=76. Doors.=—In taking off =doors=, describe and state the sizes and
thicknesses, whether the framing is stuck-molded, raised-molded, or
plain; and number of panels, whether plain or raised. Use stock sizes
wherever possible and suitable. For special work, where doors are to be
veneered, state thickness of veneer, how cores are to be built, and the
kind of wood to be used.
=77. Blinds.=—Describe size and thickness of =blinds=; whether paneled
or slatted (fixed or movable), and whether molded or plain.
=78. Baseboard and Beam Casings.=—Measure the =baseboard= and =beam
casings= by the running foot, stating width and thickness of stuff, and
whether molded or plain. When a shoe is used for the base, so state;
also, if a surbase is required, give particulars.
=79. Wainscoting.=—Measure =wainscoting= by the superficial foot.
State kind of finish, whether paneled or plain, and style of molding
and panels. Wainscoting cap and base, measure by the running foot.
=80. Stairways.=—Often =stairways= are taken by the contractor at so
much per step, complete according to specifications. In measuring
stairways, take off the amount of rough material in carriage timbers,
and the planed lumber in treads, etc. Measure balustrades by the
linear foot. Give description of newels. Measure spandrel and stairway
paneling the same as wainscoting.
=81. Inside Fixtures.=—_Kitchen dressers_ may be taken at a fixed price
complete; or at a fixed rate per square foot; or as dressed lumber,
drawers and doors being taken separately. _Wardrobes_, _bookcases_,
_mantels_, and _china closets_ should be treated separately, and a
fixed price stated.
=82. Porches, Etc.=—_Porches_, _exterior balustrades_, _balconies_,
_porte cochèrs_, etc. may be taken at a price per linear foot, or the
actual quantity of material may be measured.
