Hello Folks, kirk here with kirk giordano Plastering today. We're going to apply plaster
to this house here. I'm going to show you some things you can and cannot do because
I get a lot of calls, folks. Hey Jayson, can we do this do we do that? Let me show
you some tips right off that was what we can do, what we can't do this was bricks two days
ago we went ahead. We put fast set stuff up on it, and the past that stuff allows us to
do scratch fountain color in the same day if we want. Still, I don't recommend that
anyhow we had other things to do so this brick right here we just went ahead skinned it today
we're going to color coat yesterday we came in this blue stuff is the body that is 12 feet by
large detect live a lot about you let me show you guys some things you can do just show the
chunk over there those bags of concrete goes back to concrete 100 pound g94 technically.
anyway, mixing the concrete now the plows where's everyone at all in two
pounds of felt we generally start with eight back
I have some cases where we have a lot of peeling paint like this I'll generally when I do a color
code I generally charge $200 to pressure washer hop but when I see paint that possibly could be
healing I tell the homeowner you got a pressure watching yourself because we can't get involved
with dealing paint anyway for two for 200 bucks like generally pressure wash your house and I
remove dirt dust grime mold moss stuff like that but we can't touch the paint anyhow this gem
thing we also did a couple days ago that's a fast set stucco so it is set today to accommodate the
color coat it's only two days ago which we then conventional stuff might have to wait two weeks
we go around here this little this is an odd thing I found out a couple days ago generally I'll put
fiber mesh tape over large cracks I scored this with a razor knife and these two buildings don't
touch there is a gap here a quarter inch inside I what I did was I put some caulking in here a
polyurethane ii flex i put fire mesh tape then we put the bonding agent over that just to stop the
water from going between these two certain things you can and can't do this I can't guarantee it
won't hairline crack again because two buildings aren't connected properly and that's generally
what you do is you break the stucco out you put a stud here your lag bolts together put it all back
together this with but into itself really as good as what we have to work with guys all right this
is this is a little addition here that was put on I'll show you I'll show you the rest of the place
here again we applied the body heat yesterday watch your foot day this deck here gonna fall
in swimming pool yeah and I got Dan one over last minute stuff but the second coat of bonding agent
where I had them removed the dirt because here is the here's where the last painter guides but if
they ever do landscape and I want to go way down that's why Joey well pull back or tell folks pull
back that way we can I get a little better torque you put a new sliding glass door in it last thing
I want to show you folks is this wall this wall you can get a 1600 psi electric pressure washer
I recommend it 24 this guy got a 3100 psi means it's pretty strong and he removed a lot of peeling
paint now we don't know if there's LED in it and stuff like that so therefore I can't really do
the pressure washer because for 200 bucks there's a $35 dollar fine if there's leather the paint so
we don't touch that stuff however deep he pressure washed as best you could he said man I did a great
job yesterday we came and I used a putty knife and a trowel we didn't remove a little bit more
because a lot of times when you pressure wash a house will remove 98% but the next day or later
on as the water steps it'll still peel off here in there so I've no I I've done it many many houses
so that was before that new law let's stuff came out so anyhow what we're gonna do now is we're
gonna put a new color coat finish over the entire thing I'll show you that when we get to that stage
two difference between what we're doing now this is this aggregate is all consistent the scratchin
rounded with the float finishes pretty nasty so we're giving it a fairly uniform finish gonna
come out with this job red burgundy colors we're looking forward to see what the heck that looks
like wire attic guys I'll show you a typical thing that I'm asked very often almost every
job should we paint first yes BAE trees first nature trim first that way once we have this
color coat maintenance-free finish on here you're not dripping all over our work is there a little
bit attached touch-up of course there's a little bit of touch-up for any any house we're using
this blue tape right here now this blue tape we floated and if we're used water on here so when we
pull the blue tape off say for example water goes behind it if we use the red vinyl tape which I I
use a lot of now to pull the new paint right off so we use a blue but I always tell folks they're
still gonna read a little bit of touch-up so want to make that clear of devotes just as far as
expectations there's no such thing as me and I'm pretty good at spreading and floating not to leave
a few crumbs here and there when we're done but it's always better for you folks and paying first
Okay, guys, you're all set. We're starting to like patches. That's where it's drying.
We just finished this, so this is a dart, by the way. This color is called southern moss.
It's a la Hache rose to submit station nice when it gets wet regardless, just like these bricks,
right I was wondering how that color was gonna look red with southern mom. Still,
I think it looks cool back that might even go to stay looks kind of sexy last thing we'll show you
is this wall here the contrast of colors this I think it's pretty cool we won't go around the back
yet not necessary but yeah we tied the chimney I was a brick chimney at one time tied it all to the
wall anyhow this was the La Habra finish my name's Kirk I'm with Kirk giordano plastering thank you,
folks, for watching have any questions about color coats I've done about hundred or two
hundred houses listen call us. Thanks to that, as usual, we'll see you guys at the next one.
