Hi, guys. Kirk and jason are here with Kirk Giordano plastering.
its about 35 degrees out here cold to be doing stuck at work so I'm gonna make this quick so
I could warm up what we're doing here guys is my buddy Ernie he is flashings contractor he's
doing a copper roof here he's doing a lot of work on this he referred me to it and the fella here
says well Kirk what do you recommend I said well depends on what you want and so we spoke a little
bit about it and what we're going to do here for him is we're going to come we just did the
corners now we're going to come and put a coat of oil in cement plaster over it then they are going
to come back in a few days when that Portland cure is they're going to put some granite around
this here here I think few areas they want all that cures we're going to come back we're going
to do two coats of Santa Barbara smooth mission finish on this and kind of give it an old-world
type of look we're going to go ahead and set up right now with mud boards and start mudding this
will show you how just the face of it it's quite simple to do there's nothing really to it but the
finish is what will really show you when we get to that stage it won't be for a week or two but
Jay knows how to splice all that stuff in so when we get to that stage we'll show you the process
and by the way this concrete here they're getting ready to tile it and I said mando don't I let you
make our job twice as difficult what you do is let us finish all this we're doing three coats
on this let us finish all this work here and then tile it that way none is going to bleed under the
paper and on top of the towel less work for us anyhow guys we're going to get started we'll show
you how to do that finish coat last we'll show you right now how to apply a skim coat over this okay
guys what I've done is all three sides trying to warm up here it's cold man we got here the
little ponds and everything was frozen so just trying to warm up now now I'm going to do the
face I'll probably do the whole face and show you how I do it now I mean you guys might say hey man
that's awfully big tool you're using to do that and I say guys it's not the size of the trowel
it doesn't matter I know a guy who's you juice too using a trowel about half the size is mine
and he can put more cement on that I can those not the size of the trial it matters skill level
anyway Oh something like that okay something like that definitely what I'm doing guys is I'm kind
of scratching it even though this is a block and I can hit it with one coat but mighty damn
cold out here still so mutton Lu is uh kind of loose just the way I like it but because it's so
chilly I'm hitting it like a scratch then coming back with us a brown so how I do that stuff guys
and the other corners quarters help strengthen it quite a bit guys that way say if he's mowing
his lawn and he hits it with the lawn mower to make it a little bit a little bit stronger will
it not chip because it has corners not really it'll still chip but it does make it a little
stronger plus it gives me a guideline where to stop my stucco okay now what I do here is
I think I'll finish the entire thing and then I'm going to double this up you guys want to see just
to finish I'd fast forward to the very end but I'll go ahead and double the substance I'm here
got my pants with knee pads in them so not killing my knees like there we go
those corners give me something to stop at those are my guides right here a little bit of mud here
get your corner, and doors are going on here, guys, so they're not certain about the size,
so I didn't bother with corners on the inside that's kind of spinning our wheels
here the last piece on the bottom take it to switch your corner get your corner one
more now this child so big it's like using a rod or a darby there we go that one's there
now I'm going to do is put a follow-up coat over it come in here this is my second coat,
and yeah I can do it in one coat guys, but again a little cold for that take it well there we go
here take it to knock that little piece up they are putting a roof on here, and that's
I just take it to trim it out here trim it out there that way they have a guide there
the last little piece, oh we got a lot of Italians here all right you're making
me feel at home guys to Giordano, oh that's fine we always got to have some
nosy neighbors makes me feel more important like I'm doing something worthy of watching
and we take just arch here guys trim it back go back that's where they're going
to slide those pieces in a throw that stuff away finish it up here a little bit more here
beautiful beautiful there's the last piece I'll do guys that won't bore you with another little
piece right under my left leg but you get the idea if you have any here just pull it up and
this has got a set for at least at least a week because we are doing a color coat here cement
tshis color finish mitten ins free they never have to paint it anyway guys you see what it's
like to spread it out not a big deal specially if you know what you're doing alright guys my dad got
the easy part spreading the outside but you know his old bones ain't climbing into this little
cavern and spreading out in here I feel like a hobbit hiding in his little hobbit hole get out
of here bug and there's bugs and spiders but you know you got to do what you got to do so we're in
here we're spreading we're going to do all these walls and the ceiling this is going to be a real
nice pizza oven when it's all done alright guys now I debated showing you this I've got all my
sides spread out and I've done most of the sealing think about a ceiling is ceilings are hard I mean
I've been doing this almost 10 years now and it doesn't matter but I wanted to show you homeowners
that it's tough even if you know what you're doing it's still going to drop you're still going to get
messy so what you want to do is you keep your hawk under your trowel and you just spread it
out and if you don't want to get dirty you are doing the wrong thing you better hire somebody
but we just keep doing that and you know what I'm gonna get more drop outs I've had this stuff
falling all over me the last time 20 minutes in here what that's just what you deal with
anyway you see what I'm saying I got fallouts holidays everywhere and you just keep going
keep doing it keep doing it and it will stick but you're in gonna end up with about half of
it on you instead okay guys now that Jay is out of that dungeon I could for my final passes on
this it's setup enough now fact it can be another ten minutes to set up for example this wall here
take a trial run it above the board here get all that stuff off because he put some trim and just
use the trial to go back and forth it's a steel trowel does it matter no it doesn't matter because
we got two more coats coming on here anyway you see how that's done it's okay nothing to it okay
guys figured I'd reintroduce you to it when it's completed it's been a few months now takes time
to put a copper roof like this on my buddy Ernie from Golden Gate sheetmetal did it of course the
marble is done now what we're going to do is doctor a little bit of the things up that need
to be and we're going to cover everything then we'll show you the next step alright guys we are
finishing up the other fellows job the grout I didn't catch it till we got here it took me long
to do the grout around everything here because some of its a half-inch thick some of it's 1/4
inch to 3/4 Ernie my guy who did the roof he is great the guy who did the marble did a good job
but he left out in putting part so I'm not even going to mention his name because we want to keep
it positive if you guys have this done make sure the fella does his job which means if you got tile
he's got to do the grout not leaving for the next guy anyway we're getting ready now to put
the actual finish coat on we'll show you that too all right guys the fun stuff I'm going to begin
to put the Santa Barbara smooth mission finish on it and we do two coats you see how dry that is got
us if we try to put stucco on a dry finish like that anybody know what happens homeowners watch
what we do it'll flake off it's gotta be got to be hosed down anyhow got that done J mixed me up some
good mud and what I want to do is let's show you guys how we spread this side out because the front
it's going to take me a little bit longer and I've got to use my special trials here this side here
guys and again we're going over cinderblock we apply we applied our base coat over cinderblock
so this stuff here I'm not easy to do if you're familiar with the tours notice guys who watch our
stuff there's no cracks in this it didn't when it short it didn't crack dry because brick block rock
really don't crack when they cure not much anyhow would if you try to do a steel trowel finish like
what we did here what do I'll crack like an edge because the wood shrinks okay we want to
take long so before we go to stop cutting down on our own work anything long stuff just stuff
come down on all right work and to this this particular color there's a life style color from
La Habra lifestyle Coral Gables the fellow here wanted to match the color of the natural stucco
as close as possible now what we've done is when we when we wet the natural stucco down it darkened
it and this color here too is obviously what it's wet mixed so it's dark when it all dries you know
it'll dry a lot lighter and rules are guys if you do say to coach first coat is going to dry
a little bit what's going to dry its normal color the second coat what'll happen well that second
coats going to dry add another tint to it so by the time this is dry with two colors on it two
color coats that's what you got to do when we do in Santa Barbara to not one two of them will add
a tint to it I mean it'll be darker than what you see anyhow that's got a set for oh I'm gonna give
this because I've been posing down the wall I'm going to give this about five minutes in five
minutes I'll show you how we do that second coat okay guys we're going to do the second coat what
did I do while I let this first coat cure I did the whole rest of this easily even the front front
actually takes twice as long okay so we're gonna put the next coat on and you got to look at it
you got to see that it's starting to dry if this were wet you can't double up a wet coat to a wet
coat that makes no sense so now what we want to do is go just about the same amount of thickness
same amount the idea is now we got color coverage we've got a little bit more fat and earlier when
I said if we did the the grout same day I don't advise anybody to do that because when you set
your trial down if you set it down in any kind of sand like you set it on its belly it'll pick up
every little speck of dust that's the last thing you want because this is again Santa
Barbara smooth mission finish and it's it's Scott the sand is about thirty thirty meaning it's the
finest sand they make for a cement ish as' color finish if you were using BMI they have the exact
same material it's just called marble finish and on and on everybody's got their own name usually
you'll have three kinds of sand you'll have your smooth your medium and your heavy we are using
smooth and see right there where I've got a couple little char marks I probably got a grain of sand
in there if I got it one grain of sand in a little keep jumping we don't want that okay
A lot easier to do the first coat second coat just takes a little more concentration look
at what you're doing, and the most important thing is to be aware of any grains of sand.
A little grain of sand just messes you up takes forever, so I'm going to go ahead and
knock out this top. Here we go and put this top, and if you could spread Santa Barbara,
you could spread anything you can spread tape in mud you could spread variants you could
spread the veneers diamond you pick a spread one finish you usually could spread them all
guys how guys say well I can spread this you think I could spread the rest of those you know
how to spread one basically the same thing you come down to leave a little bit of fat up leave
a little bit of fat come down to more a little bit of fat guy um use a little bit of strength
pushing this on to get out all the holidays now you want to leave a little excess on your corner
then we're going to brush this bottom piece okay now that that's done what a fellow like
me will do is look at it make sure we're going we want to get all the holidays off so now it's
just a matter of going over it a couple times look at that wall and just go over it a couple
times make certain that you're getting all the holidays out there's a pretty clear indication
of what I was referring to earlier one little piece of sand again get that guy out of there
go back to the drawing board there we go anyhow guys I'm not going to repeat the sidewalls the
rear in the front because you see where I'm going with this when we get that done with the entire
thing will show it to you okay folks we are done with this all three sides here are done the back
sides that it's all cleaned up ready to go only thing we need is some pizza man and that'll just
make this whole day somebody's having pizza the pizza the pizza genie thank you sweetie my lovely
