PAINTING. 



Color - Outside, white ( 2 coats) 

 Roof, white ( " 

 Inside, flat olive drab (2 coats) 



If the lumber is dry, give the outside and roof a 

 priming coat as soon as it is placed; put on the second coat 

 as soon as the first is dry. Do not apply paint if lumber 

 is not thoroughly seasoned or if the surface is damp. 

 Before applying the paint to interior, woodwork should be 

 carefully cleaned. Before applying paint to knots, cover 

 them with a coat of shellac. 



The floor should receive three coats of floor 

 paint. 



INSULATION. 



If this building is erected on high situations 

 exposed to lightning, it should be insulated the same as 

 Standard Lookout House, to -wit: 



No. 4 galvanized wire should be used for all 

 conductor material. The conductors should be run down all 

 hips from the main wire or terminal, which should be 

 extended from the peak up about twenty inches and filed 

 to a sharp point. The hip conductors first mentioned should 

 be continued over the points of the eaves and directly to the 

 ground at the four corners of the house, care being taken to 

 make no sharp turns in the wire. As an integral part of 

 the system, there should be connected, to the vertical 

 conductors two horizontal conductors, one running clear 

 around the house on the eaves, the other running clear 

 around the house at the ground line. This arrangement with 

 connections is shown by the sketch attached to Standard 

 Lookout House specifications. All connections between 

 conductors should be mechanically and electrically perfect. 

 At the meeting or crossing points the wires should be 

 soldered together carefully. All wires should be securely 

 stapled directly to the building every twelve inches, and 

 in addition, the staples should be placed on each side of 

 each soldered connection, so as to eliminate any strain 

 on the joint. When the wiring is complete it should be 

 given two coats of aluminum paint* 



If there is a stovepipe or other metal projection, 

 it should be connected to the main system by a direct wire.
