Hello folks, kirk and jason here with kirk giordano plastering, today Jason's doing the
technical stuff video of course he could help me install these guys today what I'm called here
today for his I don't know if you can see this but we got a crack here about a quarter-inch
separation some areas are an eighth of an inch and some are as large as 3/8 of an inch the reason it
water is coming through here and there's no vents this venting it's going to go what I
decided is after looking at them the natural line 5 inches from here 5 inches there's five
of these guys whatever vent I use they all got to be consistent whatever line I decide
that also has to be consistent so I've installed fence in the middle of sockets according to what
architects specify I install them next to the house to the wall I've installed and wherever
usually indicated on print but for this it's just a common-sense thing I'm going to follow
the natural break here so when I install these guys I've marked it already they're going to go
myself and what I'm going to do is I'm going to solve cut this not going to show you that nasty
stuff because it's I'll be taking off skill saw with a masonry blade put it up here and walk in
this line here and I don't recommend anybody do this and if you're going to do it wear a
mask and good goggles but dust gets everywhere what that will do is it'll allow air to flow in
here and dry this out and also it'll serve as an expansion joint where the expansion joint
stops this from being locked in we're locked in everywhere around here which is that's well
you can see the damage what happens when you lock in so that's where we're going with this
okay guys we have got to vent install took up four more to go but see where it's going
alright guys well lunch time I got a pretty good code on here we're going to take lunch and let
this set up then we'll come back a little bit more on here and what I'm doing is calling it
like that that way color finish well feather it in the rest of the way after lunch three two Logan
guys I finished the brown coat I'll put one more top coat on it what's this white stuff here it's
uh it's cocoa and I'm using color coat because it's real fine right here I just try to use the
scratch and brown material it it'll be too rough when they paint it so now that this stage is done
chance to harden on the story back like this I'm using my toe here of the jaw to really get it
tight then I'm going to come once more with the float clean up the vent and then actually the
get ready to paint this so I'm gonna caulk this crack here too while I'm here I'm almost done
with it alright guys over here this is caulking here this is the coat plus a color coat and we
had some holidays in here that caulking just wasn't fixed so I went ahead and put some well
Crito there and incidentally my son pointed this out I should mention when I do this little area
like this we kept out the stucco I actually put a weld Crete which is a bonding agent on to this
expansion joint I put it on both sides as well as here that way I got an even greater bond so
this is one we still got four more to do when I get done with all of them I'll do one final
and just point it out and show you folks with supposed to look like we're all five today okay
guys we are finally complete with this this is what the two inch continuous vent looks like we
cut the hole we put that in then we got to break all the stuck alot around and tie it all together
apply a bonding agent to both sides and do the two codes and then I put a color finish over
it so give it a smoother finish that's this one here this guy here and we have three more
than installed this one's uh largest of them that's a 14-footer we have these two guys here
what they paddles had moisture coming through that's why we needed to install them a real
drag duh we got to kind of beat up I got kind of beat up doing all the salt cutting but I'm
glad they're totally anyhow if you're looking to install vents that's the way to do it it's
kind of tough so far are you a hired professional this is Kirk with Kirk Giordano plastering ,Thank
You Jay for doing the video and we'll see you guys on the next one.
