Moving/2169 Mission/Painting

2009-08-27T18:06:20Z

Nostarch: /* Materials & equipment */

This is a page for capturing ideas associated with the preparation and painting of [[Moving/2169_Mission|2169 Mission #300]].
Painting -- Responsible for prepping and painting the vertical surfaces of the space beneath the ceiling and over the floor.
* Budget: TBD
* Basecoat Only, Something Close to White

= General Guidelines =
* We want a pragmatic and quickly-feasible approach taken to painting
* Our goal is to make the space usable, not finish every little nook and cranny with perfect coverage

= Prep Work =

==Rules of thumb:==
* '''Clean the surface''' to be painted sufficiently well enough for their to be good adhesion of a new surface covering layer. This goes for loose dirt or excessive grease (the rear windowsills for example), but generally we do not need to wash the walls.
* '''Remove obstructions''', or at least minimize their intrusion
** nails power-hammer driven into cement can't be yanked... but can be snipped off or ground nearly flush with the wall. Of course if they're really high... we probably don't care
* '''Mask what we are not painting'''
** Mask to the first seam of whatever we cannot fully envelope with plastic and tape, such as electrical outlets
* '''Scrape''' excess paint and debris from the walls
* '''Sand''' the surface until there are smooth edges to any scraped bits.
** Focus on adhesion for determining when to stop. The wall facing the stairs and sliding glass door fire escape is a great example of great adhesion that has been painted over multiple times.
* '''Prime''' surfaces that will not receive self-priming paint well.
** Galvanized metals and anything going onto a gloss-finished area are prime (pun intended) examples of what needs to be primed.

== Focused Areas ==
1. '''check with electrical team''' on some of the rusty square conduit and outlets; should they come off or not?

* front wall attached to the janky breaker box
* south wall front
* south wall rear
* hole in north wall with closed box over it

2. these are the prep needs (pix coming in a bit), so ppl can just go do a small amount of work when they have a chance. Please note that cleanup is part of any task - this is meaningful for scraping loose paint.

===Re-Iteration of General guidelines===
* Of particular importance are the rat-sized holes (there were 3 IIRC).
* pull nails/screws/staples
* scrape peeling paint (and clean up)
* remove conduit as OK'd by electrical team
* sand down rust on conduit that will remain

===Focal Points of Prep Work===
<insert map here with locations of prep work needing particular focus highlighted>

Walking from the Stairwell Entrance to the right, which would be counter-clockwise along the perimeter of the space:
* Mask Alarm / Intercom[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrcamuti/3857305579/]
* Pull Nails on wall[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrcamuti/3857305815/]
* Scrape peeling paint and clean up the debris from the skylight /ceiling/corner between the doors[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrcamuti/3858096350/]
* Mask electrical breakers and anything large and valuable on that corner[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrcamuti/3857306453/]
* Dry Wall patch by the wood elevator door[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrcamuti/3857306639/]
* Dry Wall patch in the bike cove space[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrcamuti/3857306853][http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrcamuti/3858097310/]
* Pull staples from the wall in bike cove[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrcamuti/3857307267/]
* Remove curtain rod and closet rod in the hangout nook, near the fire escape[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrcamuti/3858097816]
* Mask stairs by sliding glass door
* conduit under the Mission-side windows:''' evaluate with electrical team what is staying'''
* Deal with plate covers for the ~6 ancient single outlet plugs in the space
* Remove conduit laid over windows
* Pull / Cut phone wire under Mission-side windows
* Mask Huge pipes in the corner of the space near the windows
** Easier to keep them unfinished than to try and paint all of them...
* Minimize work in the electrical storage closet.
** Enough nice stuff is there that we can hand-roll that room at a point in the future with less hassle than prepping it for spraying now.
* Patch the hole @ knee height near the ADA bathroom
* Pull / Cut the phone wire by the double doors that extends freely suspended towards the Mission street side of the space
* '''check with electrical ''' Pull plastic conduit for wall, near the ADA bathroom again
* Mask Sink
* Scrub and prime the windowsills
* trash the godawful venetian blinds we have in the kitchen
** They are hideous and will only block early morning light... when no decent hacker is there anyway.
*** And anyone who '''is''' there at that time probably wants the light to be let in anyway.
* Ignore the elevated office with nice crap in it.
** Ignore meaning mask off the window and doorway, cause we aren't painting it for now, see reasons in electrical storage closet above.
* Rip out the minidesk near the shrine and beneath the window of the elevated office
* Remove shelf with shrine on it
* Dispose of shrine (craigslist freestuff / freecycle?)
* Patch conduit hole
* Pull baseboarding off the wall that was serving as a bulliten board space.

* remove molding with employee info, near front door
* remove curtain rod and conduit used as clothing rack
* pull off phone cords and jacks (but not alarm cords)
* patch holes w/Bondo (big holes) or spackle (small holes). may need a bit of sheetrock patch for VERY big holes
* remove mini desk under the window near the shrine
* remove shelf with shrine, or not...
* windowsills: scrape as needed vaccuum, scrub with brush, and wipe

3. mask floors, windows, etc

* see notes that are physically located on the rear nasty stairwell
* mask to first joint on electrical items

=Painting=
1. prime, using sprayer in most areas but rollers in some:

* dj booth (to not crap on camera laptop)
* small office (not painting the inside, don't spray over the top)
* we don't care about the ladder to the roof
* we don't care about the black pipes by the ceiling (the vertical parts we can mask or not, whatever)

2. next day, paint, using sprayer similar to how primer was done

==Materials & equipment==
* vaccuum
* rags (need)
* dish scrubbers (for rust)
* scrapers
* broom & dustpan
* masking tape (need)
* dropcloths (need)
* brushes?
* rollers (need; Rachel has several)
* roller pans (need; Rachel has several)
* spackle (need)
* bondo (need)
* primer for walls (use what was recommended by Gina's friend?)
* primer for windows (use what was recommended by Gina's friend?)
* paint (eggshell or semigloss, white)
* ladder(s)
* Bill Pollock can get contractor prices at Kelly-Moore

===Additional Thoughts===
People have fantastic ideas about murals, special paints (blackboard paint, magnetic paint), other decorations, etc. I think we should get the base paint done before deciding about final treatments, as those can be done in entirely separate processes and there will be a fair amount of time before the space is full of Crap again anyway. Let's get the base job done and then deal with these one by one as time & energy permit.
