Hi guys, kirk is here with kirk giordano plastering, Real quick, what we're doing
today is we're doing a brown coat friend of mine's home. They did this laughed about two weeks ago,
so we're coming out here got a whole team effort going on here a lot of my kids Tim, as usual,
he helps me on a lot of projects sometimes i help him what we're doing today is a second coat now
him just uh he's spreading it i'm spreading it sometimes i'm dashing it sometimes i'm driving we
all take turns at what we're doing everybody gets to do a little bit until we get tired of that then
we switch off I'll show you what we've done around the corner because we're gonna do the whole house.
We're not gonna show the whole thing. This is it. We're just gonna show this one part of
making it a shorter video anyway, let me come on down here,
and I'll show you guys what we've already done and where we're going.
You can follow me around here. Hi baby, how's it going uh Madeleine is uh
my oldest daughter she helps occasionally right now she's in marine biology
and she's on a two-week vacation so she's agreed to help us out and she does plaster too but she's
at a stage where a lot of times when you don't do it when you're in school and you stop doing it
your arm gets tired so giving her a break and letting her float right now and all of us do
everything i float i dash i spread i hot carry we all take turns into all of this it's a team effort
uh come on down here j all right guys let me show you what we're doing here anyway they did
the scratch coat a couple weeks ago we're doing the brown coat and you might look at this and
say hey man that finish doesn't match this it does not yet and the reason is because first we apply
it with a heavy mud and the mud is somewhat tight like butter we apply that then we float it that's
what malin was doing back there she's floating it like this and right now it's still pretty wet so
i don't want to touch it too much but we allow this to set and we're going to be doing this
the whole day and more all day tomorrow so then we're going to come back and do this finish
here and this finish is achieved with a dash brush if i use a hand hopper with an orifice
the big chunks will get stuck in the orifice so after everything is said and done we're
going to come here and use a bucket with soupy mud we stick a dash brush in it we take that
dash brush and then we throw it on we just fling it like the old saying dash of salt we
dash it and that's going to match this finish here so we've got a couple days here we're
going to work and i'm not going to continue going over this to show it but we've done a lot of dash
finishes and i've explained it quite a bit so i just wanted to show you what we're doing today
and explain teamwork these guys got a pretty good harmony going on here which uh is necessary for
this teamwork stuff uh no one plaster should do it all uh jay's up here scooping it to tim and
tim is in a really tight angle see if i can get in there are you having fun in there tim oh yeah
anyway, those tight gables like that, it's good to have two guys one scoop it to him, and he'll
be out of that tight angle real soon, and here they go they're almost done with this little area
put that camera down, start helping us oh backtalk from the workers worst thing on a job, ah
you know i don't get the opportunity to use this camera too often
All right guys let me show you just a couple little things uh with this uh staging the staging
is set kind of odd where we're bending down killing ourselves but nothing we can't handle
i've had much better staging hold off with the and tim is saturating that wall for the next
coat this was done yesterday so we can saturate it if this was done today we wouldn't be able to
hit it with wonkers but we're saturating this wall getting ready to brown out follow me around here i
can just give a quick glance here staging again is set kind of awkward but it's not the first or
last time i seen that little door area to leave a place like this undone we do it occasionally
but not often it's only one absolutely necessary last thing i want to point out is stuff like this
i got a scratch coat um you can see this but kind of show this hey matt how's it going buddy all
right how are you good this this right here shows where they they took the scratch over the wall
you're not supposed to do that fellas here they did a pretty nice job they took the float right
to the wall and then another coat goes on top of that so when it's dashed it'll match to here um
we're probably gonna break this out take a hammer and just break that out right here to correct that
a little bit better but if you guys are doing it yourself don't do that but but everything
else they did looks pretty good anyhow my name is kirk i'm with kirk giordano plastering, we thank
you folks for watching i'll talk to you in a second matt we'll see you folks on the next one.
