Hello folks, Kirk and Jason here with, Kirk Giordano plastering, we're going to do today
is some foundation repair now animals have been getting in here so what we're going to do is I'm
gonna pull back all the mud and see how far down they've been shoving bricks in here things like
that to keep them rats squirrels and animals out of here so I told them they could do it two ways
you can pull it all back and have a concrete guy come Harmon pour it come back another day and do
this thing oh he can just do it at one shot now granted I used to do a lot of big stuff sometimes
I still do I've had 14 men at one time and we had plaster pumps we did a lot of big stuff but
I also do a lot of little things such as this here so we're going to pull this back and see what we
have to work with there are a few other spots on this house that we're gonna work with but when
we get to that stage we'll show you what we have when we pull back okay guys we've done a little
bit of exploration what I have here is there's no foundation there's bricks and cinder block under
here and I can see underneath this one to the next one so we left a few of the bricks that stayed in
place and a couple of little cinder block and now what I've done is that mixed up well Jason he's
mixed this bucket here and generally what I do is I go straight down on something like this I'm
gonna let it pyramid meaning I'm gonna I'm gonna do what these guys did we're gonna fill it up here
and we have a backing in there about six inches so I'm probably gonna use one bucket perhaps two and
on the corners over here I was able to stick my hand underneath and go all the way in but that's
another thing we'll just address this one here alright now this cement here it's got a lot of
accelerators meaning as fast as I put it here it's gonna sit all right we have got that whole five
gallon bucket I'll probably need one more what I do is I just take this and I shove it under there
just like that in about 10-15 minutes this is going to set and this blue stuff is that's
wealthy I got well treat here and underneath here and I've wire brush there so why we're letting
this set and again I'm gonna have it come out like that somewhat of a pyramid I would explain
one more thing here get down off of here they just had a new porch put in now do this one a
very very busy street this crack is brand-new we goat cheese them and so on gee how come well
they put the new porch here and the new porch now is better but it up through the concrete this is
a very busy street we get buses big trucks and so now everything is locked in so the expansion
they used to have two weeks ago is gone so how did this new one appear here well with the rain with
the buses all the cars going by vibration causes cracks that's what's causing this one here thought
I'd throw that in because we have the luxury of being here and explaining that five four minutes
as Jade puts the camera away now he's gonna mix another bucket and this will be this is already
setting now we're going to put one more one more coat on this give it a foundation of a pyramid
type and that's going to structurally support this when they built this originally yeah they should
have went down foot-and-a-half and warmed it out but I see this so often I see lots of houses with
not concrete foundations but brick well I see them with even cinder blocks over it's just one
of those things it's already there what are you gonna do so we're just gonna correct it that's
weak leave this stuff all right guys it's first it's already hard and I'm using common stucco by
the way common is very hard to work with doesn't have the plastic in it bunch it's really stronger
and yeah I'm using my glove just to get it right here but in about ten more minutes this is going
to set also and it's going to mechanically bond to the first one and this is how you can do this this
is a fast way of getting it just so the rodents don't get under there is this as strong as putting
a foundation or foot deep and pulling the porch all apart no but it's it's gonna be pretty strong
they're not gonna have any problems far as animals get leaning that's a quick things don't let this
set we got another little thing we're doing here in about 15 minutes I'm gonna cut it and float it
into here and I'll show you the very ending when we get there okay guys you're done what you need
to know if you're gonna do something like this is your cement there's common plastic I'm using
common because structurally a lot longer there's a lot harder to work here I'm not worried about it
anyhow my name is Gert publisher cleared out about
three thank you both to watch it and as usual see you guys on the next one
