hi guys Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, we want to show you guys today is how we do on
drips creams and drip screens are these guys right here Jason cut 16 for here and 16 for the top what
we're gonna do is we're gonna go around these posts and generally what I'll do is I'll use
a template meaning here's the most important task this time we jump how high should these
screens be well according to code they should be a minimum half inch above your tile maximum two
inches but if we got two inches or Felix its bit of an eyesore so we try to compromise so I asked
the folks today what are you gonna do so they're gonna put a membrane over this membrane and then
they're gonna place a drop in this tile so for them to do that what I've done here is
I've adjusted this so that it's a half inch above their finished product generally again I'll use
these as a template right here but instead of that I have a template right here all of these pillars
columns are exactly the same and the radius is up there they're just everything here is is done
very well Darrell Walker Walker construction and alibiing built this so I can go with confidence on
all of these are perfect so what we're going to do is I've started a couple there I place
those screens where they need be and my template instead of using a stone or a tile this we're on
a job yesterday we're that forage brick and they were going to put that on top of this den again
what what rivers we're following the line here so there's a couple done here and then I'm gonna go
right here and I've got my template already it's the existing line right here I'm making it too
easy here I'll put a couple concrete nails to hold that's that in place another thing we're
going to do to is we're gonna play some Jay trim up in the top of here I'll show you how we do
that too in this same short video all right guys also installing this J channel up here game trim
this side of it and I put it on here it comes out 7/8 of an inch and I'm going mm this one too much
we're gonna go around the entire perimeter of this generally I don't do this but they're gonna place
some type of soffit here some kind of tongue and groove I'm not certain they're not even certain
what they're going to do so this way my transition is really clean because especially I have a hollow
had they already had their ceiling on I wouldn't need this this is actually a commercial product
but I can use it here anyhow I just wanted to show you one of the most important thing are
the drip screens and where to put them on every single job whether it's above deck on this one
on the foundation it's pretty important ok guys I'll show you how we're gonna want to proof these
right here they're real tough I could use paper but the seams right here become a real nightmare
so what I what I generally do is use a membrane like this I'll show you how we put this on no
it's a cold day in February right now if it was a hot day I couldn't do this because this would
stick to itself as soon as I pull this off this and just touch but I've you I've done about 100
boxes with this I know what I'm doing I'll show you how we get a seamless joint in here now if I
have this grace right here all the way up to here when this touches it bonds instantly so it's kind
of tough I'm gonna start from the bottom and hopefully you can get an idea I want to wrap
around the edges okay so once I stick to the grace now now it's instantly and here right there at the
bottom that's wrong all right now what we want to do is we want to get our bottom piece down and one
side and what I'll do is I'll just do like so and get the bottom this way it's seamless then here
we just wrap around wrap and it doesn't have to be pretty it is gonna be bubbly if I was doing a deck
I'll make it pretty but for this it doesn't have to be create what it has to be is watertight okay
so I'm coming in here using my thumb and squeezing it in then I'm pulling it back here I'm getting my
seams good my seams in here just like that and then I can wrap around here I'll cut the screed
out the same here I'm gonna cut this screen out and now that I got this because we're gonna lap
this wire it and then I'm gonna put half corners in here and this way we're watertight seamless
paper I could not do this it cost an extra 100 bucks to do it this way but it's well worth it
because when it starts pouring down rain for a month or so we don't want these things to leave
and here's what I do take our edges go here take our edges here we take the top and we're gonna
they're gonna have pillars similar to that there and we're gonna take our membrane all the way here
and come over this to here this comes over here I cut these pieces of drip out just like this
so it's seamless and yeah it's not the prettiest thing in the world but it's the effective what we
wanted no leaks now there's how we're gonna do all of these there are four here four up stick
actually there's six here and six upstairs this is a pretty long process but this way
its watertight when I get ready to do the corners to uh I'll show you how we do that all right guys
I'm going to show you how we put these corners on here we're all done with the wire and we're all
done with the membrane this is very tricky stuff this is not stuff for guys who just started in
trade north and stuff for homeowners but I'll show you how to do it anyway once we have our
perimeter drip screen up then in order to put these corners here we have to do the top over
here now we have the top done to once we have the top done now we have a guide here here here
here without these guides we can't put these on you know say I was just going to try to put
these on without the guidance what will happen is the corners will be a little wavy because I
need I need some kind of a guide because when we do this we don't have templates it's all by eye
and you really got to know what you're doing to do this stuff I advise anybody if they're gonna
try to do this do these corners like this they use nails you put the nails in here I use a gun
but I've been doing this for a lot of years so when I use my gun I go inside these end corners
that way it's rigid and sticks out and when I do this inner piece here now the inner piece that's a
whole other chicky ballgame I'm using half flange one half is two and a half inches and the other is
inch and a half now the the real drag about this before the challenge about this job is Bella use
three-eighths plywood here pressure-treated 3/8 we're going 7/8 with mud alone so I'm gonna have
to doctor up these 1/2 flanges and accommodate for a measly 3/8 if you're gonna do details like
this done thousands in stucco at least go with one inch plywood that way these can be applied
these are standing and they're they make the job so much easier now I've got to notch out each one
of these guys here so I'm looking at for the rest of these pillars here 4 to 6 hours just to finish
these pillars here because this is only out 3/8 of an inch but that's the nature of the
job anyway main let me grab this gun now when I do apply these orders here I'm using a gun the
don't provide anybody got unless you experience fella like me I've been doing this I'll do is
I'll bend it and I'll put a staple right inside and where I tell folks they use a tail all right
where the two points meet on this gun
the perfect corner or the corner or in a corner, and once I get all the other corners and templates
basically, then I'm going to do my perimeter corners and again those I have to improvise with
anyhow that's how we do corners, and I've got 12 of these to do each one is at least an hour,
so that's my tip of the day for you folks my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk Giordano plastering,
thank you for watching and we'll see you on the next one.
