hi guys Kirk and Dan here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today what we're gonna show you
how to do is this intricate up arched front entrance now usually the more intricate or
complicated more pleasure I get out of it because something different I love
doing this kind of stuff what we need if you're gonna do stuff like this is
regular corner aid I've got arch aid this stuff will give me the arches it bends that special
water piece I need half flanges this corner aid here instead of having two corners that
are the same length one is a half flange so what we do that color there also this is kind
of intricate where we're gonna be matching this text coat finish now what I'm gonna do first is
I've already measured this piece of jade trim and builders in curtain do you want to break all this
out no we don't want to break all that out unless you have to he's told me this stuff here is over
a hundred years old so on stucco that's over a hundred years old last thing I want to do is open
it up open a can of worms sort of speak so what we're going to do is cut this piece here into J
Trump right here now you use pressure-treated wood on all this and what I'm gonna do is put a fat
beat of caulking right here now notice right then big fat feet of caulking that's coming out here
big bead of caulking I have to use a - or - that's okay I don't mind using a tube or
two of caulking because it has a purpose okay there we go that'd be too cocky and I cut my to
right center here I didn't leave the tip pointed otherwise I'm pulling this trigger forever now I
got that I put my J trim on and what that does is when it rains you can see that the caulking
has already come out of these holes right here and it's sealed this right here also so when it
rains that'll stop the water from going to get it on the back of here we open to something you
never know we're gonna find when we open up a hundred-year-old house anyhow we're gonna get
started it's gonna take Dan and I about 10 hours today maybe maybe 9:00 so we'll see just how much
we can show you you know say a 10 minute video for 10 hours working alright guys now that we
have our screen here screen here I'll put a screen up here they're gonna put a flashing count thing
goes four inches down here and four inches down on the other side that way water doesn't go through
that cap and using using this stuff here with this is actually four arches or say a drip here you cut
these and you make them arches so don't I don't want any of you folks who watch and say gee whiz
we need that stuff no you do not I just happen to have so much of this in my garage that I thought
well it's been about 15 years you haven't used it might as well just use it up if you cut these
little guys right here and then this flex is like an arcade but I can use it for this right here
okay guys three foot roll I just cut it directly in half I cut a piece off
about ten feet and what I want to do is I want to come at least five to six inches
past ten five six inches pass here we'll cut it slice it I'll show you that part
when we get to it all right once we got that there we're gonna do is I'm gonna put some
upward
shall we waterproof an arch when I get ready to put them out of the paper here my cups are
gonna be different I'll cut here and here and then we'll seal this part will seal this part
I'll show it to it's a lot easier to explain what is where my cuts are and I've marked all
my studs underneath here I know what they are now what I want to do is I'm gonna cut
that pipe out in this case I want to go right underneath if you do it by yourself not know
where your scones are now we're gonna go ahead and cut this corner out what I'll do
because I'm doing this myself is cut the roll here and I use the roll as it goes
I can do this corners I can bend it over like so all right and cut it on I think I will bend it
over like that all right now I have to lift this bottom up here's what I do with this pipe take
this around I always want to come around my to my corners this way I rap I double down this way when
I bring my next sheet off I'll double wrap that get this pipe right here I'll just put it here
oh pretty that up in a minute always good to start off with a brand new blade of course this
music venue anyway okay now to find where these guys are take a look here come down
what I'm basically doing is we're gonna wrap this underneath I want to avoid those areas that I got
my initial AR when the water goes through the stucco gonna come here and just drip harmlessly
well thought out this would you this takes a little bit of practice alright guy put a
little piece of killing stick membrane right here because we've got a critical area here
these joints it works a lot better than paper now what we're gonna do is a wire generally huh cut a
piece that I think will be about the right size and Dan and I are just gonna tip rarely tack it
up then what I'm gonna do is take the big gun staple it on permanently so use a big gun right
now it will drowned out take that there with a stake then I take this area here I cut this
that pipe out me I don't usually like to my corner guys been to the Ron hurdle when you
do that punctured yourself I'm gonna cut this corner here then I'm gonna follow the arch there
this gets arch aid and this gets soffit mesh so I want to stay back about 1/4 inch because
the arch aid is gonna tie these two different metals together anyhow so take me a few minutes
to cut all this will show you it when it's cut okay guys same deal in here we're putting the
paper here and here this gets wood so we're not touching this guy right here not touching
this or the front entrance so now we're gonna begin with the mesh the meshes I'll show you
that today alright guys we're gonna do a soffit mesh I'm not going to use the gun otherwise that
compressor is gonna start and it's gonna drown me out now Dan cut this 12 inches so just for
the sake of explanation I'm gonna pop this guy on here there's a key thing to because I had
a fella just email me and he's dead then how do you do those lids when he said lids he was he was
referring to soffits ceilings lids we call them litter soffits he said I've been tried all mud
just keeps falling off send me a picture he sent me a picture and they used uh they used this wire
right here now if this wire see how big the holes are you try to do a soffit man you better be good
I've done many jobs where I come out twenty by thirty feet all ceilings done with this and what
I'll do is I'll say I'll piss it moan a little bit first and I'll say gee we can do two things
redo it or what I'll generally do if I come to a ceiling with this heavy stuff here is I'll have
my son mix extra rich and then we got to use a lot of muscle to squeeze it in there and still
falls all over the place but this here this is called 3.4 mesh and what happens is the cement
goes through these little itty bitty holes and it mushrooms on top that's what it hears in it
so if you're going to do ceiling sophists always use this here I'm sure the fellow who emailed me
will see this and say yeah that's what I needed all right good what I generally do is I'll kind
of bend this marching to match these and of course we have a few behind-the-scenes issues it won't be
exposed but all these corners don't align so a fella asked you can you get these corners where
they will well we'll do the best we can for you I can't promise anything with because the frame is
off a bit as far as these corners another thing I hear is how do you put these corners on well
I'll usually use my big gun what my talking second unlike the corners here we'll put a corner eight
and they'll stick out seven eighths each side when we do this we want to come out seven eighths here
to match this seven eighths here so two true and plumb but the ceiling or the lid of the soffit
that's only a half inch so it's a big tip - no you don't know that you'll try to get this seven
eighths and plain seven H it can't be done anyhow folks my name is Kirk I'm with kirk giordano
plastering I thought I'd just show you this well the majority of what we're doing right here we're
gonna get busy and go ahead and wrap this out as usual folks, we'll see you guys on the next one.
