Howdy guys Kirk and Jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering,
Today I want to show you guys something that very few people understand how easy it is if
you know how to do it it's flashing details this is the easy piece right here this is the brick
and of course they have gaps in here the gaps are humongous how many tubes of caulking does
it look like I've used what Bill I think I've used about eight tubes and if I need more I'll use more
because you don't want water going in there now the fellow who owns this place he said George G
Kirk some guys told me they're gonna put the flash in here and roll it around I said you know it's
gonna look goofy you want it so that the flashing is almost covered and you want it to keep the rain
out when it rains right here you want a bead of caulking under so it doesn't go into here and go
down in there rot out that mud sill so here's what we're gonna do well grab that piece there
and we're just gonna squish it down like that and why don't want to squish it down because if you
squish it down like that it it kind of pushes it away and it'll accept the staple 1/2 inch you got
it buddy cool all right cool beans all right boom we put a staple there yeah stable here and that's
how easy this is guys there's nothing to it you don't need LED flashing because some somebody
came in - dude you need to LED flashing you don't you don't need the LED flash and you don't need a
lot of that weird stuff just a simple el flashing a Z flashing obviously would go over the curve and
that would look kind of goofy so what we're gonna do now is just finish putting this other piece on
and all we want to do guys is we want to squish this stuff in there so that it comes out that way
if it pours down rain this is good I mean it shows in the fella might say it looks ugly man a little
bit of coffee and shine but trust me you'd rather have a little bit of caulking show and then water
getting in there and now guys you take the two layers of paper just put it down on it and you
put the wire over it and by the way guys I wonder you what do you guys might notice this stuff if
you watch what we do you'll say well gee Kirk how come you didn't put a weep screed there or a JIP
screen well this going to get painted anyhow but if I had a weep or a drip it has holes in
it and we don't want water going in here that's the whole idea I just used about oh six eight
tubes of caulking and guess what guys if you need more use it and I I recommend you use a Sikaflex
or moist stop it's a liquid flashing and by the way two guys you may not have noticed this bill
you right there in the way yeah this stuff here this is moist stop its liquid flashing it's it's
good stuff it's a polyurethane it's sort of like the Sikaflex Sikaflex one a oh it's strong stuff
like four drops you can't even pull the bricks apart but if it gets on you man that stuff is
nasty it's really hard to get off don't get it on you anyway oh look at that that's a dude cuz I
looked at it over online you guys want to do your own laughs cool call us we'll do the the mud work
so I came over here and I said man somebody use some 20 gauge wire and he says I heard that was
iffy wrong why I said yeah you heard right man it is the wrong wire it's for chicken coops and
yeah I used to have chickens and we use this 20 gauge and it could also be used for say bathroom
tile kitchen countertop 20 gauge but for wall it's not good so I called the guys that did I'll
tell you what I've got latch on my truck it's like $70 or on I say give me a hundred seventy
bucks I'll read laughs everything it's basically a hundred bucks because I'm already here and the
last is like 70 bucks so what we're doing - it's just double laughs in it and so it's better to
double out there guys then then take a chance with this cheap stuff and what will happen yeah
you use the 20-gauge because when I was working Union that just means I was working with a whole
bunch of people and we were we were in a shop it was a union shop what would happen if you
use a 20-gauge well there was guys saving money and they were buying the 20-gauge all the time
and the 20-gauge down the road will crack like an egg so is the good stuff kind of like Dobies when
you're doing some concrete but to submit under and above it put the steel in the middle so this right
here Salford wire and so the stucco goes under and over it's less likely to crack guys this is what I
really wanted to show you because he had a whole lot of solutions for this and I came and I looked
out and I thought man piece of cake however you want to do it we can do it and he says well one
guy suggests we use a straight flash or a really good polyurethane type of adhesive us and no you
can't do that this cannot be exposed guys it cannot be exposed to the Sun no the guy said
well how about we just use some roll flashing this tin the stapler will go through this stuff
and he suggested that you put the tin now notice you got - you got a gauge here it comes out it's
kind of weird but hey that's construction for you they wanted to put the tin here and
come down here so to kind of look it would look half-ass and like amateur did it so I suggested
to him I said look man I got so much flashing on my truck because I mean we always have everything
on my truck I didn't I didn't have the wire on my truck I wouldn't have been able to do this I hate
going to a material yard I think I've been to a material art twice in 30 years when I'm on a job
to get something I always have it on my truck guys show that monster truck just for a second you name
it it is on there anyhow getting away from that I said look man I tell you what I would do if it's
my house but I'll let you make the call if you want me to use this flashing it'll look goofy but
I can do it I said I'll just take a Z flashing I got so many Z flashings and what I'll do it right
here because the rest of this the rest of this ain't too beat up and another solution for the
fella would I use this expanding foam that stuff's good just don't get it on you it's toxic man this
stuff is worse than sick of Fleck anyway I'm gonna pull one nail out and show you something guys
can't pull it out put it in okay you take as a flashing and you just bend it now here's here's
what I told him I said luck secondary yeah okay if you do this guy's what happens if you put a
weeps see the wave screens supposed to go all the way down here what happens you say well I'm gonna
be clever and I'm just gonna hang it just by a bare inch like that well when the wire goes on
here because there's nothing back here you hit this with a lawnmower or anything it's
just gonna crack stuck who's gonna pop right off so we want to put it where it belongs where does
it belong it belongs usually about one inch to two inch Mac's below the plywood that's
to keep the plywood in the mudsill clean and happy and dry so it doesn't rot out but I just
made this up right here it took me like five minutes so let's see how it goes on there we
just put it on like so all the way to the end bill thank you my friend okay now we get that
piece on now that's protecting the wood that's protecting the wood down here and it doesn't
look as ridiculous as say curves flashing wood all right now that we got that done
get on there guy all right now that's not going to show now what we want to do is counter this
flashing so that piece of wood is protected now this piece of weep screed or drip screed the same
thing guys water drips through these if you have a painted house it doesn't matter water does not
need to come out of here because houses painted those are for maintenance-free finishes that like
a brick or say like this stone when this stone gets wet it darkens they wanted darkens when
dryer conditions occur enlightens that's why it will last a thousand years it's maintenance-free
some houses have maintenance-free finishes on them and that's why they use these weep
screens water goes through them and then when dryer conditions occur it leaches out usually
gravity pulls it out through though repulsed it could just leach out through the walls too okay
now what we have is the weep screed and here's a good idea to guys always put a weep screen at
the bottom of a sill if possible okay here's the sill so if it's at the bottom it looks cleaner
now let's see chop that down a hair bill to the ground little bit more little bit more beautiful
tad bit more alright now there you go guys okay we're glasses and goggles and all that safety
stuff when you do this guys me I've been doing it for 40 years so I'm half dead anyway so I don't
worry about it anyway you take the two layers of paper you come back down on top of this and if it
ain't long enough guys put another piece under it put another piece under it and what we're getting
ready to do is put it put some more of this 17 gauge over here to because this 20 it's not worth
trying to save 70 bucks guys don't do it anyways a few other things that we're doing here but what
I was trying to point out guys this so many people say and they call me they call me an say Kirk what
kind of flashing could I use below the grade and we actually have a whole bunch of videos where
I show how to do below the grade above the grade where where the cements sticking out you name it
we can do it I guess what you guys can do it to go to Home Depot or Lowe's and get some flashes
get like five different pieces experiment with it what's this eight bucks to save a mud sill
that can you a thousand that's pretty cheap yeah he's anyway just thought I'd point that
out because we have the opportunity here and so many of you guys say gee how do you do this stuff
any which way you want as long as it works guys and you keep that mud so dry alright guys we are
complete with figured we'd show you everything afterwards all the flashing detail is fixed all
it takes is the ability to improvise every job you've got to improvise even Jace and he cut
this vent in half because that's what they had it but instead of the regular vanity put on Luther
so that the rain doesn't get in it and there's the final project they repair again like I say
you guys want to do your own paper wire call us we'll we'll be happy to do this to met work
I'll tell you - we'll even video it so you can see we're doing it right the reason I say that
I have electrician at my house and a carpenter doing some things on my own property these guys
suck I gotta be there to babysit him night and day they're at Home Depot most of the time so you call
us we'll get it done right bill what a buddy okay my buddy bill as usual guys we'll see on the next
