Hello folks Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today what I'm going to show
you guys are flashings there's a lot of alternatives ways to do this flashing here what we do is this
particular house is 90 years old it's had about five or six editions in the last 90 years put on
it what we try to do is look at what we got we try to improvise and adapt the best solution for what
they have now the homeowner he's hired man he's kind of doing all the GC work general construction
so he says he'll do all this but it's got the flashing which is four and four put it on here
and it caught up with cockeyed like so so what we did is I said let me handle this part rather than
use a drip screen which we generally will how to apply see here I figured because you may need to
change this torch down at some time what we did is I went to a couple material yards and I finally
ended up because Home Depot buy material yards west side they don't sell them this time so what
we are going to do is we're putting this clash in here which has a beveled edge 45 degrees so
we put it on the wall it slants down and so this guy is going to go over this here well I'm going
to go ahead and pop a couple nails in this you got right where I want it put it there pop one
there just for them sake having that done now generally what fellows like me with doing will
counter that flashing with a drip screen like so however because he's not sure of the roof and
never fear that's another story we wanted to get into that okay because he's not sure the
roof I said was you're not sure what I'll do is I'll come in with a Z flashing so this Z
flashing it's going to go right here now this allows him to go underneath this you can cut
up work under here and do a little bit of extra stuff if you want to you're not certain of far
as what you have later on it might put another flashing here or change the roof um we use this
one here and by the way I told Dan grab me a couple minutes I said pick up this bag that I
got he said what are the rules even nails I said actually there are show me a nail I'll tell you
what it's primarily designed for this 50 to 100 different nails the nails we're going to put
into the roof here are they have a head on it and not only that they have ridges here so it
doesn't come out I hate to do this this fella here and I'm just doing him a favor because
he's not sure how to do this I don't want to just put a regular nail in here 16 penny or
so because over the years it'll come back up if it has this little Ridge on here plus it has a
wide head it'll hold this so we can we can put a nail in here like oh that I'm going to put a
couple more here that roof this nail right here the bigger head is designed so it won't rupture
through and more importantly the shank so it won't come up okay now we're going to go ahead
and counter fly this flashing with a Z flashing we don't I don't normally do this so that's why
I pointed out because it can't be done this way if you're not certain about things out here this
gives this guys some play wiggle room what we call now this fella says gee Kirk I want to change this
in twenty thirty years you can do so without too much work if I put the screed here then he's a
lot of work you have to break out the stucco I'm trying to do it so it doesn't have to break out
to stucco okay now that we have this here look at a paper as usual um he's got odd stuff here
so we're improvising with a lot of odd stuff and it's not the first time it's certainly not going
to be the last time so our new paper is going to go right on top of here our wires going to go on
top of here and all I'm doing is just trying to make life easier for this fella because we have
a lot of these grooves and a lot of unknowns as far as what he's going to do with it anyhow this
is just another way you can do it there's a lot of different ways to do it, I'm going to get busy
it's really hot right now flashing it red hot to touch in the hot sun anyhow my name is Kirk, I'm
with Kirk giordano plastering thank you folks for watching as usual we'll see you guys on the next.
