Hello, folks kirk and jason here with KKirk Giordano plastering,
Here again, we tore this wall off yesterday, and we're going to put it all back together
today and do a scratch coat on it. Probably tomorrow, they've already redone this wall here,
but it's still leaked nine years later. What they have here is they had a hole right here.
They didn't have a Z flashing, so what we're doing is we're placing the d flashing right here
very necessary. We're putting the border flash above it. You can see over here where the hole
was. They had a hole here. The craft paper that they originally had deteriorated, so the water
was going through the stucco going right in this huge hole here. It's about an inch thick.
just going in the house another key thing they did wrong was they bent the wire around the corner
look over here this wood is somewhat damaged it's not damaged enough where we have to replace it
however i put some greens clear on it which stops the decay in its tracks so we're going
to take our new wire and go to the corner here and the same on this side and put a corner here
rather than bend the wire around the corner which creates leaks here so two major things incorrect
here the big gap here and no z flashing no z flashing above the top windows either so
we are removing from all the way around the corner there
to the sliding glass door here we had to take it four feet on the other side because
the wood rot dictates where we stop and start not shouldn't be finances but sometimes it is
anyhow that's where we're at today i'm going to continue with this ford flash all the way around
these both of the windows here this is a nice membrane and we're going to put it back together
soon enough you'll see us putting it back together okay we're at a stage right here where we remove
this threshold this is usually here so when you step on this you don't crack it stuck over here
it had a grace membrane which was perfect but we just went ahead put two more layers of paper and
i'm gonna put this back here we've got the layers of paper here going over the grace membrane too
we're going to do the sides we're on our way to putting this thing back together properly
and now that we have this ford flash here which is like a grace membrane it's thick i'm going
to paper over that here and i'm papering over my other paper on this side you can't see it
but i'm overlapping vertically a foot and a half that's how much i like to overlap vertically on
this side here i'm going to double this up because the corner was beat up a little bit
so i got two layers here i'm putting two more layers this is dual paper it has
two layers spot glued together and i'm going to do this the entire way up the house
i'm going to have four layers here four layers all the way up only because this is somewhat beat
up we don't want to take any chances with these corners real important what we have here we have
a balcony that was attached to the house it took a couple hours of chiseling just to get it out but
once we get that out then we put the membrane in back next to the wall for our membranes here
our membranes here and we're going to paper over this still what's real important is a
lot of people think oh you can just break to the corner here that's a shortcut that shortcut can
cause a tremendous amount of damage so there are no shortcuts you have to take it around the corner
and we took it to this sliding glass door that way we get a nice even seal and we are still going
to go over this with two more layers of paper anyhow that's it for the the lath we're gonna
finish up all the paper and wire staple everything off all right now we're at stretching
this part's so easy you can apply it and the scratch means just that we're using what we call a
stretcher and it puts the horizontal lines in it so the next coat hits these
and it kind of grips if you go this way the vertical
it hits here and it tends to drag so you got to go horizontal it's just called a scratch coat because
One man is putting it on i'm floating it
taking the stuff off the windows. You know, when you pull it off, you're still going to find a
little bit of resin around the windows. That's why you always got to have yourself a handy dandy rag,
and my job is to float this i do the spreading also, bro, i do both anyhow. You see, this is a
float finish. It's a two coat system, and they're going to paint this to match the original finish,
okay now you see how important it is to do that paper a wire properly, so you don't have
to redo it the second and third time like this thank you for listening have a nice day you.
