Hello folks, Kirk and Jason are here with Giordano plastering, today I want to show you
guys is fella had to remove a lot of stuck on this wall because it leaked but he has these
nice plant on windows here these are retrofit windows and they have this huge flange right
here it's a big flange it's about an inch now if you if you're able to see this there's through
this crack right here and no we didn't do it but anyway there's a big crack right here and you can
see that the plywood is about a quarter inch back from it now he says well gee do I got to put new
windows the right ones and I thought if it were me I wouldn't and here's how we we fix that he
says well how you going to get the caulking or how you're going to watertight these I'll show
you what we do now generally I'll take some grace for the bottoms I'm I'm kind of partial to these
peel-and-stick membranes I like them I could also use this for to flash to but I prefer on
my lower one to use this grace now the real drag about putting this on right here is it's going
to stick and because it's about 95 degrees right now we're in the hot Sun I got to watch what I do
otherwise this stuff will stick to itself stick to my fingers stick to the paper if I touch it
on here it's going to automatically bond to it usually I like to do this stuff early morning
early afternoon before the heat comes out but we don't have that luxury right now it's about again
I don't know 9,500 degrees I'm going to what I want to do is stretch this top fortunately
I got long arms and if I touch this grace here or this paper it's stuck so I'm going to slide
this underneath here right to get it where the opening is let's see if I can get it alright
I got it as far up as I want it now again this is going to have a tendency to want to stick to
any and everything because it's a hundred degrees right now we're so so there we go we put that guy
right there and next once we got that under here I'm going to put about a tube of caulking under
here I can't see what I'm going to do I'm going to cut just the tip of the nozzle meaning if I
cut just a tip way up top here and say for example I'm coming I shove that all the way in there and
I'm going to use a tube right here to make sure I got it then I'm going to take my finger and go
under here and get this nasty stuff all over my finger use some gas or something to clear it off
because this is a great sealant but it's a kind of a drag to work with now on the sides for example I
want to cover this right here I already had this on here but I took it off to prove a point okay
now this paper there's two layers they're going to go inside here and it's going to go all the
way to that crack it's there's a seam in there so this one will go in there and again see where
the that seam is here this paper goes all the way in there now I'm going to repeat that exact same
thing but I you folks is fill this up with with caulking on the top I'm going to do something a
little different because this is the Southwest side and it's going to get water is just going
to slam this I got a little bit even that's that's fine but water is just going to slam this and now
here the top of the window is about right to here and so what I'm going to do is I'm going to take
a tube of caulking and I'm going to fill this up I'm going to fill this up to the top and then I'm
going to put as efashion on top of these guys alright guys I've got about eight tubes eight
or ten tubes of caulking now and my son said dad can't you just dance with us here today - he says
can't you just build us up we'll submit good question you can but these flanges are I find
her sometimes weak so I like to fill them with this caulking that way we're sure to get it all
the way in there nasty stuff but this is how I do a retrofit plant on Windows make sure it doesn't
leak and of course always got to have some crappy pants just dry that stuff on there last thing I'm
going to do is okay this is filled up I've got some caulking filling this whole thing I've got
about two tubes in here again yeah I could fill it with stucco but I don't want to do that what I
want to do is I want this flexible in there and I want to walk tight just to make sure I'm going to
put the Z flashing on top and I already beveled my edges down so that it fits on snug there it
goes just like that now I'm put a staple to hold it we're going to put our paper from the eave over
this guy here now what do we have we have a solid plant right here we don't and we're way before we
do cement so we've got a solid flange right here that's tight that's water watertight for here we
have an area that won't leak on the sides here this peel-and-stick here goes all the way under
here and again I'm going to put another tube and a half on these guys here and when you just take
your finger and squeeze it in there we kind of lose our stucco key but I'm not worried about a
stucco key on a window I'm worried about a window being watertight anyhow guys hope you see how we
can do a plant on or a retrofit? There are a lot of ways to do it a lot simpler than pulling it out and putting another new window in there, alright guys, my name is Kirk Jason on the camera, my son
Dan going to help me finish this up too and as usual guys, we'll see you at the next one.
