Hi guys, Kirk and Jason are here with Kirk Giordano plastering, Okay,
I'm going to want to show you guys something. I see a lot of this tin flashing tucked
underneath the existing paper. Now we got a real old home here, about 90 years old.
what I want to point out to folks is I get this question asked a lot and the guys say well should
I put flashing up my response is always if it makes you feel any better because flashing
sometimes can wiggle up a little further generally something like this I tell folks if you all made
a waterproof it and guarantee it take it to the top then I can guarantee my work if you're just
having this done right here and granted he has tin over a heavy felt I'm going to put two more layers
underneath this and put my screen under here but for fellas like me if we're going to watertight
something this old on a 90 year old home we prefer to take it to the top but most folks don't do that
so what we're going to do today is I'm going to go ahead and screed this meaning I'm going to take my
screen and go underneath that flashing but some paper and wire it actually this is wired here to
where we got these big clinkers should be cut off and just thrown down and another tip to guys say
how come you always wear gloves even when you laugh because these when you cut these they're
little razor blade sharp edges and I've poked myself a few times anyhow for the sake of what
we're doing here I'll get back to my explanation alright say we got this 90 year old paper which is
not in bad condition we try to slide our paper under there it's so brittle it it won't go too
far but if you're sliding if you're sliding 10 here's the idea there's no staples holding the
wire here back when they did this they used very nails so this this wire is see no no this is an
odd wire for stucco but I've seen every type of wire you could know all right so you're shoving
this tin flashing in there you will hit a nail the question is when so the idea is they they
put the tin flashing in there and they're going to hit nails here and there when you hit a nail
well you're simply not going to go any further so that's what they've done here in over the years
I've seen this about 30 times and again I tell folks if you're comfortable doing it do it but
usually best ways take it all off or we shimmy our single paper under here and then double it up so
anyway I thought I'd point it out because I do see this pretty often and it's a common question I'm
asked as far as our screen where do we put that well this street is going to go underneath this
existing flashing right here where the diverter is this guy here is a diverter the water comes here
and it diverts it into the gutter so I'm going to be back at the diverter and I always like to go
above the roof by about an inch anyway when I get to that stage we're doing this whole roof but for
just the sake of showing you what I'm talking about I'll just do this one area here Jay had
a good point he said show how thin this tin is look with a hammer tacker you can go through it
they don't have any staples in it they just have it wedged tight but one also point out while I'm
here is the roofer he did a real nice job he used this heavy membrane and then he course
he used his proper step flashing my job is to counter his step flashing so now that I'm all
lifted up everywhere I slide this screed inside here and you try not to get stabbed by all this
metal that's the most important thing I want to just go at least a an inch I want - I want my this
flashing has got to come over there step flash and that's the most important thing so that's
priority over everything that if water does go through here we want it to drip out harmlessly
through these drip holes so that's about where I want to be now what I'm going to do is I'm going
to slide two more layers of paper under here tuck this wire back down and put a little bit more wire
I'll show you that even that part because even though they got this tied under here the existing
paper we're supposed to have two layers not just one heavy felt so I'm going to take care of that
real quick okay guys we got my two more layers of paper under here now I'm gonna tack this actually
it looks like a wire fro a fence it's pretty heavy gauge then I'm going to put this guy right here
and got to keep the fur in the right direction so here's what we're doing right over this other
heavy gauge wire then generally what I'll do is cut it out and just for the sake of showing you
what I'm referring to I'm going to cut it stop this right here show you what and you can get
the idea of the rest of the stuff okay so we're we're tagged down here where the wire comes past
a drip screen we the bend it up or tack it down and we come in here with our screed tack it off
And I will do this for the rest of it here. I'm going to cut this wire out, and I'm going
to put a fat beat of polyurethane caulking under here because the water's going to hit this belly
band. It's going to have a tendency to want to come here and drop straight down, however with
a windstorm three-day windstorm, we're pretty high off the ground it can push it in here,
so even though they're under this key, I'm going to go ahead and use a polyurethane caulk in there,
so we get this done we do the whole thing just like that simple if you know how to do
it anyhow my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk Giordano plastering thank you, folks,
for watching and as usual we'll see you guys on something else.
