Hello folks, kirk and jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering,
I'm gonna show you guys this the owner asked me a kind of odd question it says kirk,
all this concrete around here we're planning on tearing it off so we could be below the grade
here because our screens generally these got to be six inches above grade and I said well gee
you can do that you're looking at probably five granite tear it all off or we could just put a
few various screeds on here I've done this many many times anyway I'll show you how I'm gonna
fix something like this there's so many different ways to do this guy's and so many people say gee
how the heck would I can it be done I'll show you an effective way that I use okay right here
we have a lip that lip comes out 3/4 of an inch and so what I did is I put a whole bunch of this
probably everything caulking on there now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to counter that lip
so I'll take this Zee flashing and I'll place it right there now I'm gonna put oh I thought I
was gonna put a staple there now that I got that on there I'm going to counter this flashing with
another flashing this flashing here all I did was take a on a piece of flashing that was an
L flashing and I spun it around you can do that and the idea is we don't when water comes here
we don't want it to come here but first I'm gonna put some polyurethane caulking on this too then
I'm going to counter it with this drip screen Oh bummer okay yeah I know I didn't know who's gonna
go that fast okay are you ready okay guys I always put another bead of caulking here there's a lot of
caulking but that's how we do it a bad area on this screed is we just flip it around because
it's not going to show so this one's gonna go on top of here we're going to counter this one again.
this goes here like so, and here now I'm gonna put one staple this there's larger
screed this six-inch er I'm frightened in here that's not real heavy gauge I
want a heavier gauge because it's I've got to kind of pound it in so
once I'm right about there I'll cut it where I need it like about right here
And I'm going to counter this with a drip screen. So lets AJ,
how do you counter it, and why do we tack this down slightly? That's a very
heavy gauge flashing here. Surprise my gun even goes through this one.
Okay now what we're going to do is follow me here the idea is this is really not going to
show important thing is now this piece of flashing here is going to show now usually what we want is
a half inch above the concrete so let me drop down here so I can get a pretty good bird's-eye view
and we're still gonna fix that corner there now this one here is gonna be a half inch above here
when water goes in this channel can it work its way up through that polyurethane possibly but I
doubt it now this one according to code I mean we are we're 1/2 inch now half inch to an inch
above here and that's what we want the metal shows right here and of course I'll put I'll put another
one to go to the end now that's considered okay there's a we could actually put more polyurethane
caulking in there too but this is what's necessary when you have your mud seal and wood below the
grade of concrete a lot of ways to fix this stuff this is just one of them I've done it
about 10 different other ways anyhow guys hope you learned something as far as don't tear all
the concrete out just improvise and use some metal channels and flashings my name is Kirk, Jason, on
the camera as usual and also as usual thanks for watching and we'll see you guys on the next one.
