Hello folks, Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today we're going to show you how we're going to repair
the ceiling, we're going to the stairwell and there's already three hours to cover, bring all the scaffold
in here plank cover two layers of paper, tarps and all you have to do that otherwise you'll be
spending a lot more time to prepare a peg in somebody what we're doing now is I'm scoring
this wall because I just spoke with the homeowner and I said well gee the only thing we can salvage
here is maybe this one piece here, this one piece here may be a 2-foot section my advice to them
if we're going to go through all this work and set all this up three hours of just set time let alone
even start to remove this kick the whole thing down so that's what we're going to do and I got
Three utility knives with me. I'll show you why because this is stuck on this plastic and the
the first blade I'm gonna just because We're going to go through about ten blades, you tell it
it not because they're cheap we put it here and we just keep going over it over until the whole
blade goes in it that's called scoring we are scoring this plaster and when each time a blade
get God just reach in and grab another blade and we start over and over, so when we start removing
it's going to stop right here; otherwise the the whole thing comes off we're taking this piece
There is this corner here right up to the ball, and we're scoring it again. It's a
lot at utility place but that's okay now once we remove the whole ceiling then we're going to by
bonding agent and reach replastered I'll show you what I'm referring to now there's a lot of ways to
Get this ceiling all I can hammer hatchets Chisels, you name it, I can take it off. No way is fun. It's
all a drag if you don't like getting dirty don't try to do this we're mask goggles for the sake
Playing I'm going to inhale some of this nasty dust okay, we're going to listen. You start it
just like that and drop it on the bottom she goes we have a hardwood floor I drop it on the
the floor you can get the floor in fact floor doesn't have some dance where this dropped off by itself
So we're just going to go like this big as a couple, not maybe. However. We've got a couple of
us and just make this whole thing here, then put it in buckets all right when we get to the stage
The entire plasters off, and we're putting plaster weld up there. It's made by Larson's. I'll
show you that in our newest new plaster is going to mushroom through these and even if it didn't
catch all of it the new bonding agent pasta world will adhere it so we get to that stage where sugar
looks well guys that's the easy stuff the ball of it came off this easy and it be nothing to it
just coming right off, that means it fit for a lot of years no wonder it fell off by itself usually
the front room up, and it's really tough to get off this just coming off, and Chuck down it right on
the pipe to it'll damage the floor okay I took us about an hour nasty work here's a tip so we
want these uh the laughs we want these grooves they're called keys, and we want our new work to
key in back home that's what mushrooms underneath some of these that don't want to come on just
this way
fortunately, whoever did this they were real craftsmen, but when I was working Union that's
how we used all our corners we put on just 3.4 Lath so they got mesh here to mesh all around the
perimeter so I was just taking my hatchet not gonna liked it pops right out beautiful guys that
did this work this stuff here this is just past well Larsen's makes it there's a lot of there well
creature exteriors and you use a lot of that pink stuff for the inside now the idea is there's dust
on these so what this is doing is they're not only removing the dust but as far as I'm concerned it's
given it a bonding agent we are going to bond right through these keys however for the sake
of really bonding well when I did something like this is guaranteed for life so I want it to stick
I want it to stay on it so we're at the stage now where now that we've knocked it off Jason's going
to start mixing while I'm doing this we're always multitasking and then I'll show you how we stick
these two coats on all right guys 20 minute mud wait a minute mud means it's set to funny in my
the town I'm done with the first coat I'll be able to put my second coat this stuff is I mean you can see
you can play with this stuff it's real sticky take it off fronts the bottom anyways very sticky mud
very sticky mud okay we'll just scratch it right now that's all put the first coat on we're going
to take a lunch as soon as we're done with lunch let's put the second coat on the finish it's Adobe
beautiful finish it's adobe texture real simple if you know how to use a tool as well and it's a
pretty hot in here, so it's set back. It's probably even 95 degrees up here because it's a hot day we are
in beautiful all right guys second coke going on this didn't take me long because it's it's so hot
right now up here is like 100 degrees I'm sweating Oh, what we're gonna do is finish this coat, then
take lunch then I'm gonna put on a small coat right over just a real light again I'm using 20 bits of
mud because working my mud Westside building materials it'll still five-minute mine anymore
when I asked not come said you're the only one that likes that stuff ah when we work we're in
a hurry we're doing this stuff anyhow couple more tips I took the door off that door would be in my
way constantly so a good setup of your color take the door off and buy my nothing Sundance
it how the heck did you already get rid of that gallon Oh pasta well a fat roll it's like a ten
dollar roller it'll go through paint or anything no time just dipping it once it holds a lot all
right next time you see us I'll be putting that second coat in this Dobby finish alright guys we
are putting this second coat on the first coat set and again we're 20 minutes months so that first coat
actually was about a half hour set what take half hour except it's women but because I've
sealed all would laugh with wall cream so we we technically had about 30 minutes before gun like
this heart now this 20-minute mud is I'll get about 10 minutes why only 10 minutes was 20 bits
mud okay why because this is dry as a bone and when I put this coat on here and just sucking
the moisture right out fast as I put it on you're stuck in the moisture out this is called my brown
coat they going about a quarter-inch stick with this in in about wool I'd say 15 minutes then
I'll show you how we do an Adobe texture over and this doesn't have to be perfect because you don't
texture is very forgiving good word very forgiving I'm going to thought I make it
perfect you can fix it in protection all right God we're doing the texture now this section is
Adobe which once you got your mud on is on the hawk generally fellas take it off like this but
you can't do that on this you got to take it off of the top you put your trial here you pull it
off your top so the mud is in the middle of the trough and that's how we get an adobe pull it off
Adobe gives a very distinctive finish as opposed to pressing control very simple to do. It just
takes some practice looks a lot tougher than it is one of the more simple finishes Adobe anyhow;
I'm going to go ahead and finish this up. Then we're going to clean up. This fella emailed me
two days ago, looked at the email, and said, gee, can't really see much. Still, he gives you some
pretty accurate photographs. I'd give a quote, and those are a wee bit more than I thought,
so we adjusted the price but anyhow, you see what I'm doing, we got the nasty to rub clean all this
mess up. No, this is the easy part. I've got five minutes. I'm done, so I'm going to leave it at
That. My name is Kirk. I'm with Kirk giordano plastering. We thank you folks for watching, I hope
you learned how to do a ceiling repair with an Adobe finish. as usual, we'll see you at the next one.
