hi guys Kirk and Jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering today what we're gonna do is we're
gonna show you where we're at with this deck about a month and a half ago Larry and I came here and
we gave a mental exploration of what would happen turns out we were right the deck leaked so Larry
came out he replaced all the deck suit brand-new flagstone under here and what we did was yesterday
or two days ago we came and we did all the the laughs inspector comes out they look at the lath
and they say hey beautiful guys now that's the first line of defense say for example we're done
this radius please Joe all right this radius say for example how many lines of so-called defense
are we gonna have now it leaked originally we don't want it to leak now for ever so what we
have done is we've installed our web screens and our grace membranes then we we're using
a stucco here it's a reinforced fiber mesh same day and it's water-resistant got that guy water
resistant not waterproof very few products say they're waterproof so that's the first line of
resistance for weather is or defense is the the grace membrane with the screen second is this
water resistant scratching Brown the third is going to be we're coming back with an acrylic
finish and of course we use an acrylic we've got to prime it so we're going to prime it that's
the third then we're going to apply an acrylic over that that's the fourth then they're going
to put primer and paint over the entire house everything so it's going to be bulletproof I'll
show you over here the material we're using just briefly guys and I'll show you one more thing to
Abbas what Jay just showed me we're spreading this material here and by the way man this this
material is like glue it's the best I love this this stuff here because you could spread it and
it's same day material meaning you go ahead and you put it on both coats in a day I wanted to
point out one thing guys what we're doing here is we're rounding these caps off just just a slight
round off half-round not even a half-round just enough so the water won't stand over here J point
is is it what Dad this one's flat and I said yes it is flat and so is the other one on the other
side but what I did is I talked to the homeowners I said it puts me the reason he's failed in the
first place is water got in here and and and got behind there so you don't want water standing on
these so what we have done over here so like this one for example what I'll do is I'll put a little
bit of mud on it just enough to give a a slight radius I don't want a big radius or a half around
I just want a slight radius that way the water doesn't set on it now I've long as I've been
in the trades guys I've had I've had different people say so many different things about caps
the caps are already bulletproof as far as the membrane this right here you really I mean I
had some people who are adamant you know Kirk we won't put plants on the earth I don't recommend
plants on there but you do as you like if you give it the slightest half brown you can't put a plan
on it but at the same time then the water won't won't sit on it and it won't work its way through
that's why these failed in the first place anyway guys you can't fix something unless you know why
it's broke I'm gonna take my Darby and just fix these guys up right here we are at the final
stages of this I thought I'd show you guys right before we left how to do this this particular
material - we've got it where it has the fibers in it there's our fibers necessary as people ask
me this all the time not really guys you don't really need fibers but if for a buck more bag I
get them anyway makes people happy so we take off Darby straighten these out a little bit
just like that then we this particular material you put it on once you can't really mess around
with it you can't play and because you break the set so after this sets a little bit harder
then we're just gonna take our trial come back and smooth it out like this take a hard rubber
float just get some of the edges off and it's ready for the next time when we come to do the
acrylic finish anyway guys as you can see we're out in the open the elements are here this deck
has got to last out last anything on the house we've done it there's a right and a wrong way
to do it the guys before us did it the wrong way we're doing it right anyway my name is Kirk I'm
