Quomodo murem induere in lapide lapideo vestito?

Gradus I: Overview pro Quomodo murus in Stone

TIMELINE:

• dies I; Prep the site and install the first course (Steps 2–10).
• dies II; Finish and cap the wall (Steps 11–18).

Gradus II: Metire Wall

To calculate the number of universal corners to order, measure the height in inches of each outside wall corner, as shown, divide by 16, and round up to the nearest whole number. You’ll fill the area between the corners with flat panels. To calculate how many you’ll need, multiply the wall’s width by its height in feet and divide the resulting area by 2 (each panel covers 2 square feet). Subtract the number of universal corners from the result, then add 10 percent to your order of flat panels. Add one universal corner to be safe.

Gradus III, Pingere imo currere ad Wall

The panels must be installed above ground level, resting on a plastic support called a starter strip, so you’ll want to paint the wall below the strip to match the stone. Find a spray-paint color similar to the palette of your stone panels and paint the bottom few inches of the wall.

Gradus IV: Instrue Coepi velit currere primi cursus

Set the location for the starter strip, at least 2 inches above any soil. Here, the strip’s lip aligns with the top of a stair on the adjacent side of the corner. Fit your drill/driver with a 3/16-inch masonry bit and drill a pilot hole through a slot in the strip near the corner and into the wall. Drive in a masonry screw to secure that end, then use the 4-foot level to bring the strip to level, and mark a line, as shown. Drill pilot holes and fasten the strip in two or three more spots, maintaining level.

Gradus V, removere Tab

Tabulae planae tab utrinque habent quae foramina in contiguis tabulatis planis cernuntur, sed ab aliquo fine, qui angulum format, removeri debet. Tabula faceupi in superficie operis quiesce et lamina 5-in-1 instrumenti utere ad tab off pulsandam, ut ostensum est. Inde plana ora stricta faciam ad angulum.

Step 6: Mark the Panel

Singulae currunt ad angulum, fine perfecto anguli universalis imbricati, fine tabulae planae (cum tab remota). Primo, angulus universalis in duas partes secatur; perfecti cujusque partis ora cursum incipit, et incisa ora cornu in tabulam plana est. Aesthetica enim, angulum universalem secare ita ut quaelibet pars saltem 8 digitorum longus sit. Vel , ut in nostro casu , secabit eam ut aptam contra insurgentem : Requiesce tabulam planam in parte adiacentem in habena starter , deinde angulum universalem inverso trahe , et extremam aciem contra orientem stantem , et scribe cutlinem . , ut ostensum est.

Gradus VII: Concidite Longitudo

Requiem tabulam pronus notatam in superficie operis cum tabulis exiguis sub ea ab utraque parte cutline. Utere recta linea ad notare quadrangulum cutline in angustissimo puncto scripti lineae. Apta circularis serra cum mucrone adamantino divisae et per lineam inciso, tam concreto quam metallico habena fixa. Cave tutus specula, larva pulvis, et auditus praesidium.

Gradus VIII, pone primum Panel

Hold the cut universal corner against the wall, bringing its finished end flush with the face of the adjacent flat panel so that the two pieces form a 90° outside corner. Level the universal corner, and drill pilot holes through the nailing strip, as shown, directly through the metal if necessary, in at least two places. Fasten the panel with 1¼-inch self-tapping masonry screws.

Indicium: Tu frenum conserva ut pulvis removeas terebram e foramine gubernatoris, sino structuram cochleae ad concretum tap.

Gradus IX: consumma vade

Perge inaugurari plena magnitudine tabulas planas, opus tuum viam deorsum curriculum. Cum prope finem sis, metire et particulam incisam, ut finem curriculi impleas. Si frustum incisum tab utrinque habet, instrumento 5 in-1 utere ad pulsandum. Apte frustum in loco, terebra gubernator foramina, et cochleae ad parietem.

Gradus X: Install secundi anguli

Use the cut half of the universal corner from the first course, positioned on the opposite side of the corner to stagger the joints. Slip the tongue on its bottom edge into the groove on top of the flat panel beneath. Position a flat panel, with its tab removed, atop the universal corner in the first course. Be sure it’s cut to a different length than the piece beneath, to offset the joints across the wall. Mark and drill pilot holes for the universal corner, secure it, and install the adjacent flat panel to complete the corner.

Gradus XI: Conlinis adiacentibus Panels

Work along the course, brushing out debris from the top groove to ensure that the panels fit together snugly. As you set each new panel, make sure that it’s aligned with the previous panel by nestling a ¼-inch metal rod in the groove along the top edge. The rod should lie flat and bridge the grooves in adjacent panels. If it doesn’t, use the 5-in-1 tool to shim the panel up, or back several screws out of the previous panel and adjust it. When the panels align, drill pilot holes and fasten them to the wall.

Gradus XII: Stagger articulis

If the end of a panel falls in line with a joint on any of the previous courses, you’ll want to cut down its length slightly to maintain staggered joints. Hold the panel in place and mark the nailing strip at a different length. Transfer the mark to the back of the panel, cut it to size, and fasten it to the wall.

Gradus XIII: Tonde tabulata aptare Top cursus

On the final course, you’ll need to cut down the height of the panels to fit, removing the nailing strip so that the stone reaches to the top of the wall. Rest a flat panel in place and scribe a cutline on the back at the height of the wall. Set the panel on a work surface, and use the circular saw to cut it to the proper height. You may want to cut your corner pieces to length first, then cut them to the proper height, as shown. Dry-fit the two pieces at the corner to check the fit.

Gradus XIV: Gluten in Pieces

Tabulas angulis remove et applica recta capita constructionis tenaces in dorso cujusvis partis in verticali currit, ut ostensum est, ita ut aqua libere post tabulas fluat et apte exhauriat. Pone tabulas in loco in pariete et eas aptabis snugly ad angulum aptare.

Gradus XV: Submerge Fasteners

Ad scalpturas secandas adhuc confirmandas, varias in singulis locis colloca, ubi tigillum inconspicue in articulis inter lapides demergas. Partem tenens in loco, gubernator foramen per tabulam terebrare et in pariete. In cochleam structuram proiicere, caput subsidere in superficie tabulae. Cochleae cum caule tegunt, pulverem de tabula incisa collige, et in aridam caulem suffla ut camouflage. Quaslibet hiatus eodem modo attingere potes. Perfice inaugurari tabulas in ultimo cursu.

Gradus XVI: Secare Capstones

Capsulam aliquot digitos latiorem elige quam altitudo muri vestiti tui ad prominentem faciendum. Metire et signa cidari in summa muri aptare. Utere serra circulari, et adamantino divisae lamina ad longitudinem incisa, ut ostensum est.

Gradus XVII: Pone lapidem in cap Wall

Cum socio operando, tolle capsas et eas aridas aptas super murum. Aufer eas et adhibe constructionem tenaces ad cacumen parietis et oras crustae antequam lapides reponantur; vel, si veriorem aspectum mavis, in duro mortario lecto pone. Nunc gradum refer et mirare aspectum inconsutilem.
