Hi guys Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today what we're going to do is some flashing
details, okay what we have here we do the cricket then we have the flashing here and a fat bead of
caulking, now theoretically this will last for a while depends on the heat the heat of the Sun
will actually separate this deteriorate when that happens five years down the line maybe
ten a water will go back in here brought out some of the wood inside the house and so what
we're gonna do is we're actually going to take our grinder or my saw and I'm gonna salt cut a
channel underneath the brick here we're going to slide a piece of flashing in that channel
and then over this piece here that way it's it's permanent this is kind of temporary and you might
say well man that might take a long time before we get to that stage I'll show you something on
the top of this chimney not a lot of many years this is but maybe maybe ten maybe fifteen maybe
longer who knows, but you see how this caulking here is pretty deteriorated and that's what's
going to happen with that coughing eventually and water will just go inside so we don't want
that to happen here when we get to that stage will show how we install that el flash unit goes
what I tend to do is I'll take it right under the first brick or wherever the closest brick
and just counter it it's a simple process but it's time-consuming and it is kind of dangerous
to use the skill saws with masonry blades to cut the groove but we'll cross that bridge pretty quick.
okay guys we're at a stage now where got all the caulking off with utility knife I scored
it with car three and one I'm just kind of scoring a little bit and give me a groove
I took my skill saw and this is my cheap skill saw, lightweight plastic where it's an awkward
position to hold this up in and go sideways so the big worm drive, just too much weight so we
use this guy here, now we're not in here about three-quarters of an inch and we're coming out
three quarters of an area so I have the proper flashing to go into the groove we're going to
come here and we're going to bend this and cut it at an angle here so it's seamless on the corner
and I'm using my little grinder to do these sides this one is I have to go up and down and I can't
go up and down with with the skill saw so we're almost at that point and we're gonna go ahead and
install the flash in the proper way okay guys yeah at the final stages here we're just close
this roofer we're gonna get out of here what I've done is this piece of flashing here it's one piece
and it turns so I have my bend here I filled up our groove we put a groove with our skill saw I
filled that up with polyurethane caulking then I shove this in here so now that it's in there
now I'm putting another bead on top and I just kind of beveled it in this way water won't sit
but underneath this brick, my mother's here I'll show you what I did on the corners is this kind
of tricky I don't want to put any concrete nails so I place this flashing here buried
or horizontally to cover this flashing and I put this one over it and because I don't want
any concrete meals in here I've got this bricks just hold it up and by tomorrow this will be set
because this is an adhesive caulking it's a great great caulking, you put it on bricks and it just
holds everything anyway that's a proper way to do a brick flashing it takes a lot more effort
and work but it's permanent fix, my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk giordano plastering, we thank you
folks for watching thanks Jay for doing the video, and as usual we'll see you folks on the next one.
