Hello, folks. Kirk and Jason are here with Kirk Giordano plastering.
We're getting ready to call it up the day it's Friday it's past 5:30 we're the last ones here
I want to explain something to you guys for the folks who watch what we do and a lot of
a lot of times folks will ask me questions such as what we have here the contractor is calling
it a a tree em the prints are calling it atrium well technically at that atrium was an outside
within an inside of a building but atrium works for me it's they're gonna be growing plants in
here one door the access door is to remain open there is no door and then they have a door here
the question is what is what is what material lasts the absolute longest well they have studs
right here because they were gonna put sheetrock so we're using a paper back wire here this paper
back wire stretches and we won't lose a lot of cement between the studs over here we have
shear wall that's solid backing so we applied two layers of paper 17 gauge wire and staple it all on
the soffit or the ceiling we have mesh the mesh is attached to the studs we're using inch and a
crowns leg staples to attach it and then stucco adheres to it back to the original question what
is the longest lasting for an atrium our outside stucco is what were they going to use and you
can do this guys you can use green board green board is a moisture resistant backer board like
sheetrock drywall plaster board it's all the same stuff if you put green board in here for example
just like if you're doing for a bathroom kitchen a shower then you'd have to go with a veneer plaster
and the veneer plasters such as we'll call it imperial base coat you put 3/8 of an inch on or
actually three thirty-seconds of an inch on you allow that to cure then you come back and you
put a diamond an imperial finish on that and you could add colors to it then you go another three
seconds of an inch if you if you want with that system that system is pretty good because we use
it for showers and in this area here it is gonna get to be a hundred hundred and ten hundred and
fifteen inside here I know because it was about 120 up there while I was just up there and we're
gonna get in the wintertime we're gonna get to do it's gonna get cold in here and if you have just
sheetrock white sheetrock with just regular paper that deal will hit it and it'll just within five
years it'll start to come apart so the question they asked me is is there a stronger system rather
than the sheetrock and I said absolutely and I told him about this system and since I told him
about it we're doing it anyway I thought I'd show you folks that kind of stuff anybody knows what
what this is technically called email me and tell me we have one access door over there where there
is gonna be no door so there call it an atrium and I thought man I don't think that was an atrium but
anyway the point was can you go sheetrock over it yes what's better laughs and plaster okay guys
skip ahead a few days past our last inspection we did the two coats in here for about 7/8 of an
inch stick matching the expansion joint I want to be clear what I said earlier if you use sheetrock
in here and taping mud that'll last about five six years and what will happen is the paint will come
off of the sheetrock because the humidity in here could get a hundred 110 and the cold damp but if
you use green board and you use a veneer finish it'll last damn near as long as this I mean 50
years it'll last the paint could come off with the community but I really anyway we won't live
long enough for that to happen stucco is the best way to do it if permanent never comes off but I'm
not discouraging the use of green board in fact I'm encouraging it because you guys do the green
board in here then we just comment we do the veneer finishes just as sturdy anyway I want to
make that clear we are done in here we're getting ready to do the tops that's got tarps on the roof
