Hi guys, Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, we started this project a couple weeks ago in order
to waterproof before the rains, the rains are here, they've just completed this belly band yesterday
so, what I'm gonna do today, is I'm gonna show you how we waterproof these belly bands, and when I
say, belly bands, here's the existing stucco band so a a fellow here matched this piece of wood here, and
I'm gonna show you how we watertight this guy here, because it is raining and it's drizzling
right now it's probably gonna come down on this but we have time enough to do what we want to
do walk, around here Jay no I've got it started already here's the belly band and they use a
pressure treated piece of wood anyway, what I'm doing is I'm covering this piece of wood putting
on a second piece here is it you can do this belly band a lotta ways for a homeowner I would
recommend you use a grace product it's a peel and stick you put it on the wood above it and it acts
like a Zee flashing above it where beyond the wood and then come down and pass the band and then tuck
it, in the reason I I'm putting the second sheet is right here is because I know from experience that
these are key to leaking, well I'm gonna get the corner aid which has a corner on one side then
it's called a short flange, and when I pull all of it down like so get in here okay now when
we're watertight, these tend to leak right here that's why I usually recommend a grace membrane
but I know what I'm doing here when I use a short flange, it's gonna be completely sealed like this
right here with no sharp edges, to poke this, anyhow that's what we're doing today, and what
I also want to do today is because this paper has been here several a couple weeks now I want
to wire it I want to put the wire on it, because now granted, we're in Alameda we're in the low
spot in some areas the wind is so strong in a vibrate to paper, and it'll pull these little
hammer tack staples loose, creating leaks, so we're gonna do today is just go ahead and finish wiring
it, I'm gonna show you one more thing while we're waiting, all right guys same job there's also what
we're now these arched windows and there's four of them they're all on the other side
they have a bevel up here it's kind of like a water table that water table needs a flashing
network where I guess they take a soldering iron and solder it so it'll come over this bevel and
that's what's making it tough to find a fella to do this, we already had a guy, and turns out
he's months out, so the homeowners looking for a good flashing guy if any of you guys are watching
this you're working in the Bay Area this we're in Alameda today, can you call this evening he
needs a guy who needs one quick and he needs somebody competent enough to do these radius
bevels just starting to rain look at that pole right there you can see water coming
down, but I don't usually like to come out and waterproof or weatherproof a job and then have
to come back and wait on folks but sometimes we don't have that being in place so again you got
any new flashing guys are looking for work better pretty sought after, this difficult stuff give me
a call I'll pass your name on to the homeowner my name is Kirk Kirk giordano plastering, is 11-11-11
right now so flashers call me, thank you for watching we'll see you guys on the next one.
