howdy folks Kirk and Jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today well we want to show you focuses
buckling and before you figure out how to fix you got to know what causes it this house all
around the perimeter is buckling meaning it's protruding out so the wall is flattened it kind
of after say on this particular house it's about 88 90 year old house what happens is
they don't have a weap screen here if even if they did sometimes I can still buckle by
the way but how you fix this is what I'm going to do is I'm going to tap it out now generally
I'll put a mask on and glasses because I don't know what's in here and I don't want to inhale
it but all we're going to do is we're going to relieve some of the tension on this particular
house and that is listen for the sound it's somewhat Hollow and I'll show you I'll take you
around and show you why this is somewhat natural and it's normal guys it's nothing to panic about
I the folks here they emailed me and I looked at a picture and then I came and looked at it last
night and I thought pretty petty and the reason I say that is because after 8090 years all the
seasons of rain and Sun the houses tend to settle and when it tends to settle it'll buckle like this
sometimes not all the time but here's how we fix it I'm just going to tap it out I'm going to pull
it like so and any loose stuff you can hear it we just tap it out and what we want to do is we want
to tap it out and replace it with with other with some new stucco and that just it relieves
it there's tension here because it has nowhere to go it's like glass if you flex glass that's
going to crack this stucco is the same thing and what we're going to do is now all around this
house anything loose like this this is how we're going to handle it it doesn't it doesn't require
a lot of strength or muscle but it does take some time we've taken on myself I've removed stucco on
it say if the equivalent of 10 two-story houses I'd know how to remove stucco now after 30 years
of doing it I'm an expert at it so again as I tell folks list we're going to release some of
the stress here and it's not a big deal you just keep tapping it keep tapping it and so we're going
to get started with that and get here and then I'll show you how we actually after we removed
everything we want to remove then we're going to go ahead and take a water hose wash some of the
dust off put a bonding agent on and ree-ree stuck with come around here I'll show you some something
that I was referring to there like right to here it's somewhat loose then over this somebody did a
little patch we're going to fix that while we're here this is a - finish you put a used - brush
and you fling it on so we're just going to put a little bonding agent over that and fix it but
here's what I'm talking about guys this this right here is underneath here this is a weep
screed the addition was built in 2004 now they did it proper here with a weep or a drip screed
it's designed when water goes through the stucco it weeps out of the holes here now that actually I
think it's 76 when they started using that wasn't until 1980s that a lot of people actually started
using it but when you use a weep screed it acts as an expansion joint also so there's no cracks here
but even where the weed screed you can get a crack there's one here so a lot of people will call me
and say hey can you put a weep screed around the entire perimeter of my house and says not
necessary but I will if you like one last thing we're going to walk all the way around the house
know if you can get a shot of this J but
okay all right guys same house a little worse situation here I don't know if you could zoom
in here but see it looks like rust it looks like little mushrooms that is mold spores guys if I
were to tap that off right now without wearing a mask I would release that in the air I would
inhale it all night I'll be coughing when I get to something like this I have some chemicals on
my truck I'm going to neutralize it put it in a spray bottle hit it neutralize it and then knock
it off or I mean I can take a water hose and hit it like so keep all that keep it wet and
then just tap it off but I don't want to inhale this stuff fortunately it's on the outside I
see those mold spores sometimes guys and it's usually by pipes so you guys see this on your
house let it soak it but don't inhale it anyway we're going to get busy and continue with what
we started off ass alright guys see if we can't show you all in one how to do all this took a
few minutes to prep all this stuff what I'll do guys is after I break out what I need to break
out and that's the loose stuff after a few years you know what's loose and what's not yeah we can
tear the whole wall off if we want but we made an agreement to take just a list stuff off and
what I did is I took a water hose and I hose down all the dust because if you have dust the
next coat won't adhere more than a year or two then we take some kind of bonding agent I love
welds Crete we take this blue stuff go all the way around it and now what I'm going to
do is I'm going to go ahead and patch this in I'll show you how we patch it in Jay mix me up
some cement here and this cement just has a little bit of accelerator in it and the
accelerator is to of course accelerate the product because I want I want this to be dry and say Oh
20 minutes is fine, okay I'm going to take it here take it in there
Some more of this stuff could be a little hard or stiffer, but I can make this work right now.
It's somewhat loose because we just put the accelerators in it, but these just illuminate,
which we use once it sets it sets so I'll take this guy here and now grab it. We are about oh
how long now get in there all right we are over an inch and a half in some spots right here I'm
just going to give it a texture here we fill it up tight squeeze under here I'll show you
guys how we do this texture also let's say let me get a couple more scoops to finish this bucket.
All right, squeeze it over here finish this off. This is already starting to get hard now.
When I first started putting it on, it was falling out, but I can see it's getting hard
nothing to a guy right now. If you know what you're doing, let's see one more Hawk pull,
and again you see a minute ago, this was pretty funny. This isn't running anymore. This is yeah,
it's getting the stiff guy that luminite in it works fast okay here yeah.
Wow that's already setting one more then I'll show you how we float this I always float it
prior to doing the - finish so that my finish is tighter all right whoo that got stiff quick
all right now what I'm gonna do is you can stay where you are yeah this is preliminary before
I do the - finish we take a green sponge flow tap the water out okay now this is already set
I think wow man that's Bosch and what I'm doing is I'm pulling it up pulling it down I don't know
if the camera can show inside here but do that now that's that's ready for the next coat which
is a - I'm going to show you guys how we do a - in a better spot because that's tough right
there all right remember as we started this video I had a little patch right here so what I'm gonna
do is I'll get rid of this float I'll get a - brush - assault you flick it on that's where
that word come from eight-inch bristles they have them all different sizes guys what I'll
do is I'll take take the - brush wet it first and I'm taking some mud right here this is the
mud that we're spreading I'll get this guy in here see how much is on here now I want to get
I want to - but I don't want it clumpy lumpy those are about 20 different ways to do - finishes the
way I want is to match this a light - now what I'm going to do - is I'm going to hose this down
but for the sake of showing you folks let's see build the bristles throw all the excess off and
then - it light - light - I don't remember feather it in the - - and that blue stuff
here that's just weld Cree so it'll match and there you have it that's the same finish when
they paint this will match that and that's what I'm going to do I'm gonna get on my hands and
knees under there and finish all that stuff and float it - because it is hardening fast anyhow
guys my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk giordano plastering, Jason on the camera as usual we
thank you for watching and of course also as usual we'll see you guys on the next fix
