good morning folks Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, my son Jason as usual doing the video
we're going to do today is buy this window it now we got to break back I was here a couple
minutes ago and I decided to check it out before we actually do the video the reason we tie back
and not yet a door here took the door output the window and he just has the key right here
left but the reason we tie back is unless we get I prefer three inches of paper but wall dictates
how many inches we get right here it looks pretty good right here looks real deteriorated so we're
going to break back until we get something good to work with the idea is our new paper will come
over here and cover the existing paper then our new wire will bind with the existing wire and
go over that about an inch minimum because if we don't by the time we're done with the stucco will
get a perimeter crack meaning you can skip credit cards in that crack so I'm going to go ahead and
show you what I generally do now I'm just using my bosch I got a couple he'll tease couple collages
a few other type of pneumatic tools why do we use the pneumatic tools because if I take a hammer and
I use muscle right here okay i'm using muscle and strength instead of skill and i pushing this hard
stucco into an already deteriorated papers I'd say the house about 60 50 70 years old so weather does
tend to deteriorate if it's the Sun bakes to stop out which basin the paper so disintegrate
sometimes but anyway looks pretty good from what I've seen here and yeah there's even a technique
to doing this guy right here what you want to do is start you don't start way over here you start
right next to the wall and work your way back a little bit you start way over here then it comes
off in bigger clumps you'll be starting next to the house then it breaks off a little easier I'll
kind of show you hopefully you'll never have to do this because this there's no glory in it there's
absolutely no glory and break out its the fun of the dirtiest thing to do and I don't like to do it
much myself but it's often necessary so I'll show I'll show you how to do it and then when i get
done showing you my son and i will walk through the break out here so i'm not stuck doing this
all by himself you get the idea yeah it is once we break out we're going to pull this wire way
over here and put our new paper although he's got a peel-and-stick on here it's pretty good we're
going to put our new paper against the window in over this I'll pull my wire out now where we get a
good waterproof seal and of course we'll use this window together with a sick of flex all the other
thing caulking now this stuff here you know it's a good caulking if you could take three drops put it
on two bricks and the next day you can't pull them apart it's easy to do with wood but with
the poorest product it's got to be good to hold bricks together I've been using this with 10-15
years something like that but anyway when we're done with the paper here to here we fuse the paper
to the window and this stuff is so strong and not only waterproof but it it it fuses it it melts it
bonds it really well to this window okay well I'm about to finish doing this while i'm showing you
i'm not wearing a mask where a mass wear glasses goggles sunglasses because this stuff goes all
over the place and gets in your eye and if you're not wearing a mask you'll be coughing at night not
to mention whatever else is in them spitting that stuff out at night to wear masks for dollars all
right I'm going to get back to you can go ahead and turn that thing on and give me a hand breaking
this stuff out all right guys we have done the boring work of breaking it all out now that was
broke it all on I can see what I'm what I got to work with papers in pretty good condition I see a
couple things wrong here this paper here this is a 30-pound felt needs to go under here so i am going
to go into here but i'm also going to put two more letters a great deal where everything my grade B
is going to go under this and on top of this which next act let's take a look really position okay my
new paper is going to go under this existing paper that's why we break out had a couple of issues
here such as the door here is just set in so I'm going to cough this area right here prior to doing
the paper then i'm going to put paper here to this stud here and granted if you can come on over here
today now granted would be nice if the stud wasn't here but because it is it's okay we're going to
take it down to here and i'm going to fuse this paper to our paper with some caulking first and
here i had to pull off a brace because the arm was right here and i couldn't get the paper always got
to improvise when you come to these kind of jobs it's starting to drizzle down raining
on us but fortunately the work the work is under the Paris the eve here aw it's no big deal we'll
get a little wet but add a little excitement of the day and lastly there's no Z flashing of upon
this window a lot of window manufacturers require them some don't i always prefer when they do have
a Z flashing but because there's none i'm going to use a peel-and-stick come here and make my own
but you just won't see it or actually there is but scratch that on some window manufacturers call for
them some don't we just did a paraffin house 22 windows and I kind of requested that they call the
window manufacturer and get some Z flashing window manufacturer called back and said sent us written
letters to Z flash and are simply not required but I prefer it when there is especially on paraffin
houses with no Yves this has each so it's blocking water all right guys nothing this boring stuff
we're going to go ahead and pay for it i'm going to call call the seems that i'll show you that the
scratching Brown has we're doing it around here I've possibly be tomorrow hopefully we'll have
better weather alright guys we are wrapping up the lab freakin Sun Sun explaining the whole process I
might as well continue and finish it okay studs every 16 inches I use a gun because the gun is
much faster for me we're using sulfur wire I do get people say how come you're not using salford
in I'll explain that um first of all studs are every 16 inches and my staples are every 6 inches
on here facet for me just to use this and for you a homeowner if you're done it yourself you might
want to just buy furry nails or any kind of nails reason is gun is 400 bucks compresses 400 bucks
hose about a hundred bucks you're just doing the small project you can use nails all right let me
show you one last two things my son has became dad look at this doesn't want to come off with the gun
here I said probably done at a different time as we open this up we usually find a lot of different
wires a lot of different wires you can use for the 17 gauge is the best the most common but they
used a 20 gauge wire here which is like chicken coops I do a lot of work for contractors on a
continuous basis and a couple of them do their own super water and I see one guy he did 20 gauge and
I said wow he's the wrong gig water so what's the consequence consequence is jobs more like
hairline crack anyway I always want to use 17 gauge wire and this is Salford wire what does that
mean here's the roll of wire where you oh it's devil when you take the wire off the Roll you put
it on the way it's unraveling because you got to use a lot more staples then if you turn the water
this way and hug the wall if you hug the wall it's easier less staples but you lose yourself her what
a self bury me you were to take this wire put it on the wall just like this there's an area on this
wire that hits the one then it pushes the wire house I I guess I could explain it better with
dope if you're doing concrete work you got your rebar there if you put your rebar directly on
the ground and pour concrete well uses an ethical purpose but if you put Dobies under the rebar and
say you're pouring four-inch slab the rebar is two inches where it's get set in the middle has
ten times the strength same applies to this had a lot of guys think it doesn't matter which way
you put the wire it does matter anyway um there it is we're done with this and I always put my
coffee afterward because you put it before you do the wire then you hit it with a gun the thick of
flex coffee test jams everything up so stare you how for the wire he's going to get ready to clean
up here and get out of here we're going to take break and we may just come back tomorrow and do
the scratch around we'll see how that alright guys know the first coat right here which section using
a premium cement and a product called lumini lumen is every five gallon bucket of cement you actually
put about a scoopful in the mix and what that does is you control the setting time of this and when
i use bloomin aight i don't have to scratch it like this say if we were doing a whole house I'd
scratch the whole house like this and we come back after 48 hours after the cure but we're doing it
all one shot so three min cement with luma night I've eyeing it out to building supply located in
oakland that way I can be competitive when I busy little projects like this because talk to me huh
more than three strips can't be too competitive well I can't but the idea is to come in save as
many trips and pass the savings on to you the customer anyway I'm mom this is the first coat
and when soon as Jason done wit down hold that camera she's gonna make me up in a bucket and I'm
gonna go back I chose the mud right here where go ahead and do a second show back down alright game
I'm gonna run down turn that off and mix up some more this all right almost saw complete here the
finish we're doing is very very forgiving it's got waves in it pumps in it and the aggregate
is thick and thin that's been painted about ten times and you can see a lot of people work here
a lot of different finishes all over here what the transition is the most important transition
between too old is what determines how well this is going to look when painted and also because
the house about 10 coats of paint and mine is rougher I'm giving it some time and then each
time I hit this and smoothes it out a bit more a bit more a bit more a bit more looking to pull all
this plastic off because i'm almost at that stage now where I'm going to give it few more minutes
distant clean up and I'll show it to you on the final all right folks my lovely wife has just
brought us a late lunch we had an opportunity to eat and have a cup of coffee and more importantly
get all the dust and get cleaned up real important get that dust out of it eyeballs um
Gilda asked me a question here occur when do we paint. I told them that the obvious answer is
28 days. Generally, 28 days allow it to fully cure, so without going into other details such
as different products accelerators that I've used like luminite or retardants rapid set
products simplified just say 28 days, and i would recommend kelly Moore last American
primer and paint that's the best. It's alkali resistance, so you don't have to worry about
the paint or the prime blistered, and to bubble, these folks got my name off of Berkeley parents
network if you type on that Berkeley parents network, you'll see a number of us license
stucco guys there I'm not the only fell in there so take the kick and choose to do your work.
Well, that's it for this one. Thank you, Jason,
for doing the video and a DVD because i'm barely using the computer. Thank you,
folks, for watching, and we'll see you on the next ones. This is kirk Giordano plastering.
