howdy folks Kirk and Jason with Kirk giordano plastering today I'm going to show you some
intricate details and some beautiful craftsmanship we're here in beautiful San Francisco come on up
and I'll show you what we're talking about okay guys now that we're all the way up here let me tag
this up and show you guys what we're doing today they emailed me this yes yesterday the picture so
what we're doing guys now imagine us we were J was down here what see these radiuses right here these
radiuses in these details that are a lot from the 1900s a lot of these houses in San Francisco
built nineteen well 1890 and in the 1900s these a few of them failed and by the way guys it had
old wood laughs the old wood lath where you key into the wood that stuff will last forever if
you paint it every 10 years somebody lagged and dropped dropped the ball on it so you could see in
this picture that it started to fail somebody open this door right here and a piece fell almost got
him so they started exploration exploration is a real drag you never know where it's gonna go well
here's where it went the whole the whole facade of the building had to come down so what we're
doing is we're replacing it now the fellow who was doing the GC where it's just subcontractors
were plastering contractors we're here I met with him and said because he says well gee what do you
got what do you want to work with so he went ahead and before too flashed everything that just means
he put a peel-and-stick member and on everything so we went over that with the two layers of paper
so now we got our two layers of paper also mention to them put your membrane down first put two more
layers of the 60 minute paper all the way down that way and I've seen this happen to guys what
people will do is this will be plywood and they'll take the paper they'll come here and go over the
radius these are templates radius templates they'll go over this and go over whatever
detail they're gonna have but if you don't put the black paper first so the two ply paper or any
house rap if you puncture that which you will it could have a leak into the wall so this way it's
double protected it's simple easy to do doesn't take much extra effort so what I'm gonna do is
show you how we put this together okay first thing we got to do is paper that now as a roll what I'll
what I'll tend to do is I'll go pass here we're gonna we're gonna go to at least this one if we
go all the way to here it the paper doesn't bend that way it's not that flexible so what I'll do is
I'll measure it out I'm just eyeballing it now guys I want to eyeball a little bit more than
I need and I do want to take it around so that it's watertight what I'll generally do is I'll
use the paper as a template also so I'm going to put my knife here get a straight cut come straight
down boom okay that's a pretty straight cut there now we're gonna take our two layers of paper and
let's see we'll just get it up here once we get it up here we can mark our templates that's see ya
there's a lot easier then then it looks most folks who have this thing chief we're gonna match that
that detail well I'll show you how to match that detail actually it's quite easy what we do is we
take a chocolate chocolate M plaits applying these templates and we just mark them sideways like that
and we mark them so that when we tack the paper down and we still got wire put on this so when
we put the wire on want that we don't want to create a lot of holes in it and granted anybody
thinks hey I'll I'll get it right and not miss you're dreaming we all miss and we'll create a
hole in this stuff when we miss so this at least gives you a guide because that's why again we
suggest put on the paper first you put that you put the two layers of paper down so if you miss
anything you'll catch it because this paper will not Bend this way so it cut needs to be put and so
what we'll do generally do is okay we're gonna we're gonna find that template alright we just
fish it and again guys if if you miss it not the end of the world because we have another barrier
now let's see well what are the odds of that okay that one's that one's in there pretty nice
okay a little kink not a big deal get our hand in there and fix it you might think what kind of
paper are we gonna or wire we're gonna use that's easy see this stuff here this is 17 gauge stucco
netting but for this it won't work let me cut some of this excess off and then I'll show you
how we get these corners guys that's about right sort of like sheetrock what you want to do is end
a corner on a stud just like in sheetrock and where the the bend is because again the paper
won't bend that way so something's got to be cut generally if I cut it right there I'll tuck this
in follow that follow this tuck under and just go right on top of that window and in that key
that's right in the key so perfect I'll tack that down and now with that Bend we have we just and
here's here's our cut so the cut is going to need some attention because if I just staple
this down right here we got a potential leak now what I'll do is back up Jay all right we're up
pretty high so the last thing you want to do is misstep all right so now with this particular
hole here we just slide another piece of paper in it and it really works well guys - to mark
your stud in this place or case mark your template and so what I'm gonna do guys is
go up top and do the exact same thing and come down on this but I'll show you one more one more
area over here the same the same things because corners are tricky guys corners are real tricky
ok you see how this corner is so we got a we want to be on another one of these templates and by the
way when they took this apart these templates were half this size they were just one sheet of
of plywood they were they were barely a half inch so I asked Jesse the GC here hey can you give me
two inches give us something to work with and pretty soon you'll see why okay so we're gonna
do that again the two cuts one cut just because we want to bend this paper now come down and here's
our first cut the second piece of paper goes over that cut and we just follow that up right
there second piece is not gonna go over so we rip a piece off and we just repeat this until
we're done that's not these are really a change of pace really interesting work compared to our
everyday stucco I love doing this stuff it's so incredibly simple so what I'm gonna do now is I'm
going to go ahead and finish paper in this the next piece of paper obviously is going to go to
where I stapled my picture to that wall and over to this stud why or the stud this is a template
it's gonna go over here in order to waterproof but we are already waterproof we're watertight here
this is a precautionary measure it's so I don't waste a whole lot of stucco I'll show you in a
minute after I take another 15 minutes to put the two layers on here I'll show you how the wiring
goes because that's really cool too all right guys now that we got our moisture barrier on and we're
marked what we do for this really cool detail is now we place some wire what kind of wire is this
is called three point four soffit mesh you call it three point four can we use rib lath we could
but it's it's not as easy to put up as this and remember that marking of that stud was the whole
key actually come on baby come on out of there doesn't want to come out sometimes let me put
another row of staples in here and and see what we got come on baby up out of air somebody kicked us
off of air come on now well having an issue and somebody we working with about fifteen people
so somebody kicked our compressor out rather than go down and figure it all out let's go down here
and we'll show you what it looks like when it's complete okay guys we drop down a level and we'll
deal with that compressor a little later the shape is different on the first level but the design is
similar same principle guys same you just follow those templates the same thing see how that goes
Marty pretty we're doing a whole lot of different cool things on this particular job but we thought
we'd show you how to make these because I get asked this often people will send me things and
see have you ever seen this before of course we've seen and we do it all the time anyway my name is
