another folk's Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today what we're going to do today is
plastering the ceiling first thing you have to do is cover the floor now we put two layers
of paper over the floor brick beautiful hardwood floors then we have to set the staging now I've
seen guys use buckets and I've used them before but sometimes when you walk from the link to the
bucket where these plank are you slide the ball out of how'd it happen so we're using
two-foot frames and then we plank it all out and what ideally is for us to plaster we want to our
head about six inches under our heads hitting it not great and if we're reaching up like this and
kill your arm at the end of it anyhow getting back to what we're going to do here there's a
lot of ways to skin coat of sealant and why are we skin coating it in the first place okay it's
cracked all over and there's some poor patch work done in here plus it's coming off in a
lot of areas say like right here lot areas that are coming up over here too maybe you can see it
better on the side okay we're going to get it all off I got a trout I actually have this little 3-1
spacing this works real good for corners anyhow after you scrape off everything that we're going
to scrape off we are going to apply here now this is just pasta well so given if I was going to do
take me buddy which I'm not I'm going to do a 40 minute mud I got one 40 minute mud means you've
got 40 minutes to put it on so we'll probably do this interior here first box then I'll come back
and get the exterior this detail here so next time you see me the ceiling will be painted pink I'll
have fibermesh tape over to the cracks that are in the ceiling now and it will be prepped for us
to do the mud then we're going to start doing the ceiling here when we get to that stage I'll show
you okay guys we are doing the Placer started a little bit of it and generally just spread it you
take long three-foot strokes to put strokes it is comfortable for you now with what I'm doing it so
I'm just relaxing now this is a plaster finish a lot of lot of guys will do taping money and we
doing take em up you're doing three coats to get what I'm going to achieve right now three coats
a lot of sanding you put the first coat sanded second sanded and the third is sanded you're
inhaling a lot of dust you're making a big mess plus it's three separate days so you got another
technique use my right hand a lot of force up here I'll take it like a lot of fat on this go
back here I put the equivalent of 20-pound I'm pushing up real hard this that's why I'm using
both hands one arm gets tired just push it up like real long a lot of pressure then you come
right back and use your other hand this does take some practice right here but and eliminates a lot
of the chow line okay guys these little guys here real handy when I first got the trade we use big
brushes dip them in water but this just makes it so much easier you go ahead and do that this is
after it's set and then you come back is a hard steel problem that's a very good enough people
let it float just to get some of these lines when you can't load it once it's hard so just like yeah
Buganda you're a homeowner got to hire somebody to do this because it takes a lot of practice
okay guys we are done what we have is a plaster ceiling now this ceiling can be sanded we did
a lot of kitchens and bathrooms to all use of diamond finish when I do those kitchens about
me we cannot sand a diamond finish so this finish here you can sand we've got all the cat bases and
get its out there's a couple more in fact that I probably have about another ten minutes here now
they don't float it up and and trowel down I'll show you compete this way and it's just common
sense to cover everything guys you don't cover everything you will be cleaning it this way we're
done we just throw it all and put all the papers and one little pile and once the papers in a pile
you just throw it on the truck and we're out of here they shave to do the video thank you folks
for watching and again there's a lot more elbow grease than this video shows this took Jay and I
and my brother about six or seven hours so I don't want to be misleading and there's a lot of work to
do in this its a steel trowel finish anyway thank you for watching I'll see you guys at the next one.
