Hello folks, Kirk and Jason here with, Kirk Giordano plastering, busy street, so we might get drowned
out today what we're going to do is I'm going to say the words same day scratching bow it is not
for the homeowners to do same day schedule have to have a certification what we've come here to
do is they folks here already did their own lap me when I come to a window like this I use an
extra tube just to be on the safe side that this is making proof they had a thin bead of caulking
on it I always want to make sure that it's done right I don't know if you could see that patch
way up there with patch in the middle of walls a terrible fact I came here a week ago and looked
at it I was looking at the patch work in the Sun it's obvious and I thought wow it's terrible I
looked at this wall I thought no that's a better match I did this wall about 14 years ago and then
I had the homeowner put his own crown on right here anyway reminds me of that old tone I've
been everywhere man by Johnny Cash I come across a lot of jobs that's a long I've been doing this
stuff so anyway we did this inside now 14 15 years ago and the homeowner his own styrofoam
cap where that hollow sound of Stockholm you know we're gonna do the same day scratching brow are we
here I want to show you guys something Oh got a nasty crack here and I tell folks this all
the time um okay I told the folks here I'm doing that I'll do free of charge because I'm already
here and what is free of charge me I'm going to break this out I'm going to fill it with super
flex polyurethane caulking or put fire mesh tape on each side I'm going to put weld Crete and I'm
going to feather this joint in is this going to last no it's not going to laughs what I give him
the alternative based on 30 years I've had the advantage of a lot of observing I've torn walls
out many many many times thousands of times and I told her if you think that was bad right there
you expected a little patch like this you got that whole wall I believe we open this three
inches here three inches here we're going to have one box and about possibly here could go
further this whole porch could have to be redone my personal opinion is it probably would happen
right before Christmas I said I'll open it up for you and then once you see that what we have
here we can go from there I'll have to charge you for it but it is almost Christmas now and
I thought if you're not willing to probably reconstruct this whole court I put it off I
we'll take you up on the freebie fish so that's what we're going to do here say that because I'm
going to show this fixed to also in the video and there's always somebody who's going to write me
and say hey man why did you tear that whole wall off it is not my call to tear the whole wall off
but it is my call to inform home situation anyway we're going to get started now I'm going to go
ahead and scratch and brown this same day and I'll show you how we do normally I'm starting
at the top but figure what the heck I start from bottom up now alright guys I'm putting the first
coat on I scratched it technically I don't really need to scratch it but the trigger point I do that
somebody shot my two notices hey hey there's no corner eight here well the corners on this house
are very very jagged so we're obviously making them jagged if there's no corner eight on there
how the heck am i filling this up well take some time in I'm just going like so I'll put a little
bit miss that hit it upward and I continue to do that same problem a little bit here no cover
that's how I make my shoulders hip it's a jagged edge then it in the column then make it a little
bit more jagged that's what they have anyway we're getting ready to do a second coat all right guys
I put enough my second coat I always like to build these windows out full my first shot is set enough
we get underneath it any fat just find a place for the fact when you outside Darby in this ball
a lot of times all rod or Darby Cutler rememberwe be finished full of designs fill away so that's
what we're giving it all right guys I floated everything and earlier I was saying that they
did a patch shooter didn't match it wouldn't match from here on up it's very heavy it's like what I
did if you're going to float something when you first floated with a lot of water brings out a lot
of the aggregate a lot of the stand if you wait half hours and you hit it again push the sand in
a little bit especially if you feed less water on your float what they originally had her when they
built the house and this is they floated it's just like I did these guys just left it floated
in it use any steel travel now what I'm going to do is I'm going to hit it a little bit just like
this I'm just going to let my trial skip the trial is skipping on it a little bit you know you know
everyone a hard steel trial a second coat all the way because it will crack like an egg because you
seal it so this guy'll enjoy now just to give it that same finish I don't want to be one of
those fellows that say Oh see with 10 coats of paint and you know back when I first started
off in the trade about 30 years ago yeah we used to say oh you need more paint but we've learned
over the years we all need more pain this needs to magically finished product of this changing
circles so what we're doing again this point is a bit jagged to match the rest of the point just
lightly hit it I'm barely holding strong breath like that barely holds it just to get rid of a
little bit more of the agitation that way when it's painted it matches that existing finish
and you drop down and we'll show you the final okay guys we're set I rushed the drying process
by taking a float and hitting against the wall I get the water right off of there get that water
off of there now it's drier rather than wait here another 10 15 minutes I dry it out now when I come
it removes and compresses a lot of the heavier aggregate then I just take my trial and just
tap it like God and yeah of course I'm going to wash this in one of our things as we always leave
a job better than we found it normally I would end it but I want to show you this crack over
here because Jason will die how do you know that wall bad I'll show you okay not only to have the
benefit or advantage of all my years in the trade but this is wood right here wood is exposed all
this is wood and that wood is full of mold I just noticed that but I just knew this was bad just by
looking at it just because all the time I have it we've removed this there was nothing in there
just open space so again what I'm going to do is I'm gonna put this up soon I'm going to fill
this up with tuba coffee I'm going to put five a mesh cake I'm going to float it out and I'm going
to gather right and that's uh that's going to work for this guy here on a temporary basis don't think
that's a permanent fix look like I said earlier anyway folks I thank you guys for watching my
name is Kirk thanks Jay for holding the camera and mixing all this when you're mixing this
cement here you'd better have four or five years in other why this is not your typical Portland
cement its rapid set and you've got to know what you're doing don't try to do this any homes don't
know don't try to do it thank you folks for watching and we'll see you guys on the next
