Hello folks, Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today we're gonna lath the entire
perimeter of this house goes all the way around all four sides let's show you some details that
we don't come across too often say like where you have existing stairs now they broke out everything
here the contractor so that we can slide our paper here generally when you're doing Waldo
concrete he would place a piece of flashing in there say like if this work new piece of
flashing would come here and I would counter this with a drip screen not the prettiest thing when
you counter it because you can see it however with existing we don't have to go that route we can do
paper but I don't like to use paper on something that's in back of concrete so what I'm doing is I
just brought over some grace and my son is under the house Dan he's gonna grab it and basically
he's gonna pull it around underneath then then I'm gonna counter this grace membrane with the
paper the paper is gonna go down here also and go underneath this paper real important we're doing
the breakout also as far as to give a good tired now what the city of Alameda likes is six inches
we don't always have that luxury to give six inches if we can get to a lot of times I'm happy
but right here we get we're getting pretty good paper we're using a this box bulldogging shrinks
it out real nice I'll show you another thing on the other side all right guys another tip
you have build-outs like this where the columns are decorative say for example this fella he's
in another city that did the construction of this I'm in Alameda we're working in Alameda I don't
have far to go but seeing them using this as a straightedge now you see how the lines up with
the bottom of my screen here that's how what we want here where we have the column notice that I
have an inch right here or 3/4 of an inch they then know that you have to put a piece of wood
here or here so I'm close by the house there's a few more of these I'm going to run to my house and
get some on pressure-treated pieces of plywood tack them on there then my screen will actually
counter that around because it's got everything has got to be true and plumb and level alright
guys I've placed a couple of screens here how much darkness we're lifting it up and I'm using
this one as a guide I use my finger here to go down one solid inch I'll touch it I'll pull them
screed down I've been doing this system for about 28 years where I use my finger here and
that gives me a straight edge and again we want to be below this wood here we've got to be below it
that way water doesn't get in here and swell it up and gives us something to stop too quick tip
guys you've got water pipes or any pipe stick something in it don't want stucco in there you
don't want dirt and rocks we're gonna continue going all the way around here what I do is it
there Jen grab that corner quiz and we're gonna we're gonna start paper in this wall we're gonna
bring our paper under this paper here hi guys show you a technique on how I do the paper generally
I'll put a couple staples from one end I'll hold it then I'll come up on two to three inches below
where I've actually gotta go under now keep in mind to see these are stunned I marked it with
a crayon you could use a crayon you could use a pencil whatever you whatever you do you want
to mark the studs because when you put you you attach the wire you need to be in the stunts not
in the field you can go in the field but mainly want to go brand-new blade every job I always
put a brand new blade so I'm not fighting the paper there's a technique on feedback
just for the sake of exploring explanation,
I will cut it right here well, I'll generally do it what's this papers up right here,
and I'll cut some pieces say like longer you cut say if this is a three-foot or four-foot section,
it's harder to fish it in here so I'll usually go about a foot and a half
This is pretty time-consuming stuff right here. So you just gotta fish it on your fish
another you want to go as high as camp when she's pitching it under we can allow you to
go steal you hit it the next nail that's fine I can't go any further put a couple staples there
then I'll repeat that process the entire job, so I take two layers now I'm gonna fish it here.
the existing paper if it's not underneath that we're not watertight
this is spot glued together to hold it
it does let's take a bit of practice and it takes some time lot of obstacles paper might be in the
way snails might be pushing the paper down there the object is to get it in there underneath the
existing however long it takes that's what you have to do I like the fishing I'll go back and
forth and crisscross it fish it under the existing and if you use smaller pieces that's okay what you
have to overlap my overlap right here now I like my overlaps to be at least these six inches on my
verticals so after I have a piece right here then I'll fish another one on the paper just go back
and forth with fish it up until it hits a nail it will hit a nail up there because there's lots of
but you got that somebody repeated the entire wall we're just gonna keep fishing paper up and
notice I cut it on the Egyptian no need don't hit went to hammered character right here this
is three inch plant you break so I'm above my trip school once I got this entire wall
then we're gonna put the wire down we're gonna put the 17 gauge wire on and fasten it with the
staples also alright guys I could set my wire on the screen or I can set it under here but if
I set it on the screen then it's easier for me to cut the top off I've got a I've got a
little template it's staples on the bottom we just hold everything in place I'm just gonna
notch this guy out right here mod it's simple but time-consuming and pull this out of here
and earlier I said you want to mark your scut so now that the studs on mark I know where I'm gonna
staple I always overlap this wire overlap it that way we don't get a perimeter crack
now I'm using a gun some folks nails that's for folks who don't want to spend all the money for
the, but the wires sell fur real important wear some kind of safety glasses cheap causes bit
glasses doesn't matter I've stapled a wall once and I had steel straps now hit it hit
the wall hit me in the cheek, and I look like I got shot so keep that in mind the last thing I'm
gonna show you that front where we started off we're kind of multitasking, as usual,
we're running all over the place so let me get back to this okay guy I want to finish
what I started explaining earlier I had to run home and get a piece of plywood, fortunately,
I had a lot of three-quarter half-inch all kinds up my house underneath this stucco is creek so I
got to go with three quarters and what I'm doing is I'm putting my street behind their
paper get the area where I wanted Papa says, and this guy here has got to align with this
one I need to cut a corner piece because it's just gonna be in the way when I do a corner cane
this one is going to dry this guy's here to Staples when I finished buffing this out and
put my corners on this will all align but you notice now how this screen here jots in that
way when I'm done now to take this level here now that lines up that lines up this lines up
kind of penny but you got it line up everything to be true and flow Oh guys change of plans over
here in the front I couldn't get this grace down below J was underneath and I was trying
to fish it to him the piece of wood here we tried getting it out finally and crawled under
there and found out it's not just wood it's a piece of plywood that they rebuilt this porch
with the plywood hits the wall or whatever I had that very heavy gauge this right here it's
like 1 by 3 so what I did was I climbed under there and I just pounded it for 5 minutes so
now I've got my seal protected on the other side underneath here that's what's important I got to
protect this plywood so now what I'm going to do is put the brace on here overlap this and
improvise every once in a while you got to be able to improvise with what we do anyhow
that's my last tip on this then we'll show you the completion of it okay guys we're complete
we'll give you a little tour we went around the rear did this Southside here you come this way
Good, you can see what we did here on this front porch. We had a real challenge with it
natan have to do this sometimes put off we took photographs that called the contractor
who called the homeowner we explained there's nothing left on the court our patron posts way
up here wood is gone so I explained to him what do you want us to do want to rebuild
this porch they said no so we put it together best we can what they did here was they bent
the wire around so the arches and everything wires bent around which creates leaks never
bend your wire around we are only as good as what we have to work with so
you got corners here you got this side here, and lastly, the east side of the house
And like with every laugh job, we always fuse all the windows, doors,
vents, you name it pipes, we always hit with Superflex polyurethane coffee anyhow
folks thank you guys for watching, and as usual, we'll see you guys on the next one.
