Trim Painting

Sep 20, 2023 - 6:30 total. Finished setup - 1 hr setup: 22 minutes move stuff - 30 minutes to brush off dirt with brooms. 5:30 painting.. Spread boards on horses, added one horse. 5:30 paiting: One side, edges. Flow was to paint accessible side, then paint all of inaccessible side. Then turn boards on edges to paint edges. Best is to take either 2 large ones (12 and 8) or all smaller (6 and 4) and bind with clamp. Tried to paint in place for the edges - doesn't work well as I can not see far edge and have to lean over. More detail: [1] shows 22 painted 3/4 of the way (walkable part, not on the other side of 'horse barricade'. Took 45 mintues for these 22 - or 2 minutes per. Roller. Rest. Then tried 'broller' = 'brush roller' - use the roller to roll at an angle, so it actually slides and paints like a paintbrush. This is much faster. [2] shows 25 more done in one hour - these were 12" wide, smooth - not the 8" and 4". Still, about 2 minutes each, but also the 3/4 way per piece because of access (see [3]. Summary of acceleration?: it took 1:45 to paint 47 3/4 of the way.

Foundation

Staking of forms - 1 hr for 'supercorners', 2 hours for all rest including string. Superstructure concept works.
2 days of forms = 1 day 6 hours 6 people, day 2 from 8 to 1 PM = 66 hours + staking + grading
Grading - 2 people 6+8 hours = 14 hrs pre-grade
Smooth for 4 hours - bulk smoothing amd evening
Finish smooth for 4 hours - getting to a couple inches
Final smooth 2 hours - finishing off to 2 inches level

Grade - 24 hr
String - 3 hrs
Foundation forms - 66 hours
Pour - 4 hrs clusterf*** with 6 people. Initial troublespot was truck getting in right after a sliver of snow made traction difficult so even the 7% small grade did not allow traction. Spread gravel, had to use conveyor to transfer from one truck to another for a stuck truck. Boss came out to help. Mudsill anchors not taped. Forms blew out several inches on one end.
