Hello folks, Kirk here with Kirk giordano plastering, today I want to show you folks
today is a problem we have on maybe one out of every five jobs what these are are drip
screens and drip screens are for laughing no drips creats go on the mudsill and usually the
plywood is exact with the mud sealants furred out with it what these fellas have here is they have
this see this trip screen is supposed to go on like this flat flush what they have is the trip
screed is like this because the foundation for troops here now I totally break all the stuff
they did well they put this on a bit too soon because and they put the trim on they said well
guys I'm gonna remove I'm gonna remove this drip and they're actually gonna have to take this off
I've already taken their cells off because they don't have the membrane underneath either so
I'm gonna pull this off and I'll show you what I'm referring to because we're gonna make some
kind of deep lash not sure yet until I see what we've got here but the drip screen should not
be caca it's got to be flat true and plumb not like this and that's the way they have it over
here looks flush but over here it's not so in order to waterproof this living space down here
that living space is important this is not done right after a cute house a a month of rain water
is going to get in here it's gonna start molding the sheetrock and carpets and everything so all
this is going to be taken off then I'm going to show you how we started off with proper flashing
for this and then we'll counter it with this tip screen hey guys now we're out of stage where I
went ahead and pulled the screen off and again all of these got to come off unfortunately it's
not a big deal but you see how the stucco is out here about an inch and a half so I
can use a Z flashing to put the Z flashing on here but on this side over here can you zoom
it up I don't know if you'll be able to see that anyway it's flush there and then we're flush over
here so but now that I see it I'm gonna recommend instead of using the be flashing that they take a
bulldog or some pneumatic tool and just break off about a half inch here so I'm gonna talk
with the contractor say gee let's get all this off get all this off then we'll put the screens
where they need to be and put all this back that way we're watertight okay everything is removed
we've got the grace over this way when the window sets in,
it has the flashing I'm gonna find this one, meaning I take this peel and stick
Now let me get it on the other side peeling paint that the grace membrane okay I'm gonna
cut these out this is gonna go over here then I'm gonna drop these membrane again under this
memory clean it up a little bit then I'll show you how we do each one of these okay
guys I'm gonna put a conclusion on this they had a 30-pound felt on it we're going to more
layers over there so this paper goes underneath the grace membrane you should always have you
got a belly band don't paper it put a great product or something very similar to a grace
problems here now we have 30 pound felt here but we also did two more layers of papers so
now he's gonna install his windows cell and his wood trim here the window they don't have yet
and that's okay and this guy goes on top of it with the window having a Z flashing above
that that's the proper way to do it sometimes you're gonna run into foundations like we do
often where you have a sill and guess what it's no fun breaking that stump out but it's got to
be done anyhow hopefully you learned something here and you see projects like this you'll know
what to do when you come to this I encounter it quite a bit so my name is Kirk I'm with
Kirk Giordano plastering, we thank you folks for watching, and I'll see you guys on the next one.
