hi guys, Kirk and Jay here with Kirk Giordano plastering today I want to show
you guys is flashings and flashing details and explain you where to order special order parts as
far as lashing details we're here in Oakland out of paint store and the contractor it was pretty
adamant about Kirk are you sure you can match all these details and i'll have the flashing here for
you and I said sure I can do it it's simple I mean this is we got expansion joints coming here
we had excess stucco we broke it all out it's all on the ground and I said all you need to do
is get me those flashes because there's special orders this is a month ago well yesterday I came
here to see what he's done and anyway says cook I couldn't find the flashing I said well number one
you couldn't find it you have to tear it off take so what I said I said I'll give it my best shot
I can't guarantee anything if I can do it but this flashing here goes here anyway I called in
some reinforcements I've got a buddy of mine in livermore now Stockton products they make every
type of flashing detail known to man how do I know this because I've been in this trade forever guys
what I did was I called in and said hey David if I come in could you make me a flash and he said
depends so I went over there and as soon as I got there I said David you've been working out ah hey
swickert look I'm real busy what do you want I said you know Lucille Ball once said if you have
a problem ask the busiest person you know that's why I'm here I know you're busy here's what I need
David i said i need this flashing right here i need a 24 gauge or 20 gauge and he looked at it
and said okay when when do you want it how many you need and i said just one he says just one you
want me to set up all my machines for just one I said yeah he said what day can you pick it up
I said I was hoping to wait here it's a come here Kirk took me in the back and because his building
is kind of like iceberg in the front just a little bitty office in the back he had about
40 presses is it like half-million-dollar presses and 15 people work and he said all these guys are
going for lunch the setup press is going to take a while and so I was thinking I'd said right away
I said how about I buy everybody here lunch and the one guy says hey I'll take a pizza and he's
he said good enough Kirk so he says you order the pizza for all these guys and I'll have him make
it before he takes lunch so 20 minutes later I had these parts here that I need and technically guys
these go like so then the stucco goes underneath here builds it out and he had he made me up the
pieces that I need right on time and I didn't have to come back so i'm gonna throw oh david
perez a bone stocking products man i don't care what you guys need if it's laughing stucco these
guys are great for him to just me walk in there out of the blue and make me this part thank you
David appreciate it buddy appreciate it but I'm gonna get back to what we're really doing because
I have a whole bunch of flashing details that we have to match on this the author George had the
nerve to tell me Kirk are you sure you could match it I mean he grilled me like if I was applying for
a government job and I said dude why why such interrogations I said who who referred me he
said the inspector and I said well there you guys know what I'm doing so anyway this piece actually
goes here I said you're giving me such a hard time about this how come you didn't build this out to
here and he looks at me after all huh and you're giving me a hard time I just looked at this for
five minutes and I see that we're going to make it work though we're just going to break this out and
fish this in tie it all together and come inside here and put J trim on the ins inside put corner
rating improvise I'll show you why gave me such a hard time all right guys cuz I gave me such
a bad time he says well this is what the last guys did and I said wow that's kind of suck ah
that's terrible but don't give me such a bad time because you hired guys that didn't know what the
hell they were doing I thought max won the worst tions i've ever seen for a commercial project but
anyway we don't do stuff like that guys I'm a professional we know how to do this stuff so as
we get going i'll show you a few tips and most you guys are never going to need this i'm just
this is more of a flashing detailed video where to buy it stockton products out Livermore those
guys are the best whether or not your contractor homeowner big builder they they make it anyhow
we're going to get started here and we'll show you some tips along the way alright guys I'll show you
how to begin doing something like this or how we improvise with what we have left to work with
because what we have to work with we have put a ton of caulking back here not just any caulking
we're using a construction ceiling and it goes back here then your metal goes on here we're
countering their metal I've already counted their metal with another metal and what I'm going to do
is I've got to match up whatever the last guy left me so he has his drips Crede at this point here so
he's there I'm there next week honor our own drips Creed with or our own metal with a drip screed
now what I'm doing is I'm making certain sure everything lines up so we take it we counter the
metal behind with the metal on top and if you're going to use a gun guys we're glasses because you
can lose an eyeball then on this particular side we had to cut the sheet rock out because it was
a little too proud and what I generally do is I cut a 45 on the bottom of these stucco stops
you can call it a stucco stop a lot of names for these guys right here put it down here and put
it there that's where the turtle the stucco is going to terminate so we're going to take it and
come around to hear one last detail while showing you this by the way guys this is a.j trim to its
it's called a jay trimmer or stucco stop so don't get confused if you hear two different names now
on this side on my truck alone I had every flash and necessary for this job except for these but i
actually have these at home you get a kick out of this the contractor says well gee Kirk I want this
piece right here and I looked at it and I said okay and Jay just pointed this out to me which is
quite humorous because I'm thinking if we put this here it doesn't line up to nothing but over here
this is just a petty thing guys but it just shows you got to be on the ball they have a two-inch
expansion fry regulat here and it matches this one but on this side it doesn't if jada and Katsa who
knows i probably would have caught it anyway when i'm installing it because i look at it and have to
match up all my medals but anyway back here we have a piece of metal that's sticking out which
gives us a guide so boom there it is and again what I do is like I counter everything on the
concrete in order to accept our new ones anyway guys when we get a little further along I'll show
you some tips that unless you guys are never going to do this but if you happen to want to know about
flashings that's what this video is all about really just show you how to do flashings and where
concrete meets it and how to improvise sometimes and come up with an idea that a pass code because
we have an inspection on this okay guys I'm at a stage where we were just going to wrap this
but i thought i'd show maybe those fellows who are doing the other section and the other door
there might pick up this tip here's what i did as far as these studs here you could take two
hammers and say hit it here and move it out use a cat's Paul and but the idea is to get this wood so
you can put your stucco stop behind it and now we got it clean we follow this trim clean and then a
bead of caulking goes right here preferably some good construction ceiling now what we do is we put
our paper in we of course fuse this with a good caulking we put our piece on here like so and then
we counter that and how do we counter that is like Jason just did this I'd okay you put the flashing
back on and then you the paper here gets counted we're actually going to counter it with a drip too
but how do I know all this stuff my buddy Fred Smith used to teach me all this stuff 30 years
ago Fred would always say improvise man look at what you got it provides without compromising the
integrity of the work make it better or just as good but don't make it worse off than you
started with so that's what we do guys it's all a matter of just improvising all right guys we're at
the end of this explanation to last tips I cut my caulking tip just barely off that way I can
get a real tight bead that's all you need for a door surround just a tight bead to fill in the
gaps right here we came to something that's pretty odd you guys ever have one of those days where you
think I'm going to be there for hours and you're there six this is one of those days chuckles two
inches right here it's two inches thick so this has got to align here while trying to achieve
seven eighths here it's an odd thing so I pinched my corner aid almost like this it's just barely
hanging on what I do is because this is two inches I'm sure was he a pretty good shot that did this
but sometimes things get out of control I know it because I've been there myself so anyway these
corners are really weird but we do whatever it takes like i said earlier you've got to improvise
anyway guys ah thanks again David with Stockton products appreciate that flashing and we also
