hi guys kirk and larry Billman here with Kirk Giordano plastering today we're going to show
you something unusual Larry here put this window in a concrete wall now that's pretty tough to do
I've had people ask me how I don't know how to do it but Larry I tell you how he did it
okay yeah I had a customer wantin to we did a bathroom downstairs and they want to get some
natural light in there so they had put a window in there so what you have to do first thing have
to do it's get a professional out here to cut the foundation it's eight-inch thick foundation wall
retaining the dirt here and also the second floor so we would pick out a company out here to cut the
concrete out now as we cut the concrete out I had to have something in the on my window too
so I took pressure treated wood and mounted that to the concrete by using lag bolts I didn't want
to nail it in there because I've got don't trust nails over a period of time I also single flex
to put a clock behind a pressure treated wood to seal it after the wood was put in I put a flashing
paper around the wood then put a clock on top of that and then inserted the window and nailed
that off so I got that all in there and then it called Kirk come on here to do his thing our job
now we took it from there and what we've done is come on on this side right here Jay I've already
all I'm doing is I'm countering Larry's flashing we count our Larry's flashing with another flash
and I've done this side ID this side and here when it comes to concrete guys the best thing
to do is I've already done this about 20 times you take some alcohol denatured alcohol you could
use whatever product you want and you clean this because we have got to apply a peel and stick on
this now that peel and stick I'm using on this particular one is this straight flash by DuPont
and what I'm doing is I'm just fishing it under here I'm going to pull the backing off on this
one here say for example let's see if I cut a piece long enough we can just peel and stick it
to the window frame on top of Larry's flashing but the idea is I actually wanted to stick to
that concrete too because first rain second rain ten years from now I don't want this to
leak so we put this right here get it tight and I will just you see how it I've already tried this
a couple times prior and I made certain that it hears well what we do is we get it on there just
like that squeeze it under here I'm going to cut the top off right to there and put it under here
and what that does is when it rains when it rains the water won't penetrate here and besides - we're
going to put a weld creat here which is will bond the plaster to this and I'm going to wire it with
all my corners on the side right here well anyway they were right there the last thing I do is as I
said guys this one's going in here and we just do a little peel and pull this off here and fish it
in they're going to have a tendency to want to stick to itself which that's okay we can handle
that get it right here and just kind of slide it back and forth and I'm going to make it somewhat
like a Z flashing where it goes on there and covers this top just a little bit and that's all
we need then we put it down here put the wire down fasten that wire I'm going to use this beat-up
corner aid for the dwyer tie-in put this on here staple it down and that is how you waterproof a
window that's in a concrete wall anyway my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk Giordano plastering Larry
Billman actually specializes in second-story additions all over all I mean I think he's
done about 40 in the last 30 years called us up to take care of this always happy to work with my pal
