Good morning folks Kirk and Jason Giordano here,to show you guys how we do some laughing
this particular edition it's not much but it takes a lot of skill because there's a lot of things
here that are kind of intricate and you really got to keep up the codes order to do it properly
if you look out there can you get all the way up there that's what we had and what we've done thus
far is we've broken it out I don't know if the camera children but we got no paper left here
it's deteriorated so my job is to tell the folks who owned the property gee I cannot guarantee
this wall here because the papers deteriorate definitely not the first time we've seen this
and it won't be the last we see this quite often the house built in 1920 so about 90 years old
anyway they said go ahead and do the best you can with it and the water tied it with paint so going
around here I'll show you another Erica thing that was a importance they said well gee we're going to
put a screen here so he put this temporary piece of wood here but this is going to come off and
a piece of pressure-treated still is going to go on here then what we've done is we've broken out
this foundation stucco here because we're going to place this screen on the mudsill we place it
below this mud seal so we don't get any moisture on the mud sill that's where we're going and I'll
show you something else if you could walk that way Jay and show what we're doing here possibly
back up and it's just a small addition but again there's a lot of intricate stuff that goes on this
addition it takes a little bit of skill we are doing the soffit under here now the paper here
well I'll show you what we're doing here too now we have a mud so that's directly on the
concrete now what I've already done is I've taken a couple tubes of super flexible urethane caulking
and I placed it on the ground here because what we need to do is watertight this so I'm putting this
screen right on top of that Sikaflex polyurethane caulking and I'll tell you this stuff here is the
best I've ever used as far as of caulking sealing so we place that on there then now when it say
they're washing the deck here the wash in this water won't go underneath here because it's going
to squeeze through these holes and the fill a smith OLGR you're going to break this all out
here and tie the stucco in and I said heck no we're not going to do that what we're going to
do here is I don't want to open a can of worms and start breaking this old stucco out here so
what I've got is we've got this flashing which counters the ground and then this is a Jay trim
I've already placed some Sikaflex polyurethane talking in here and I'm going to wedge this
guy in now I've wedged that right in there wipe off any flowers and that's just perfect and so
what they'll have when we're all said and done is they'll have a transition here with the stucco my
stucco going to this stucco here you're not even going to see the transition you'll see a little
piece of metal but they're going to paint that right there then now of course I'm going to put a
bit in here - we're going to put a Louisville air vent that way if you're washing it's not going to
get water on the mud sill and also if you could show up word we're going to put soffit mesh on
the soffit here now we're just going to go with the traditional three point four match we don't
have to go Salford mesh because this is open and if we just use that the regular three point for
our key will mushroom up here if it was solid back and then we have to go with the three point four
Salford and of course last thing I'll point out is our paper it's got to cover this wood here so
we bring our paper in and just put a couple tacks on here and that way when the water comes down it
hits here and drips off it doesn't usually go back here although we're going to put another
piece here too just right here anyhow we'll show you some other steps when we get to that stage
okay guys now that I got this drip screen here and actually the caulking kind of came out of
the balls there that's one way to do it you could do it another way the contract to say well gee
why not let you some porta flash or some grace membrane or Vicor you can do that but it's not
as good in my opinion as the circumflex directly on the concrete and the screed over that that's my
method it's a lot better than that because this can unpeel okay now I don't have my my vent in
yet nets that's actually I got to go get that but I was going to show you something now now that we
got this screen here and we got all that nasty Sikaflex sticking everywhere what I'll generally
do now is I'll measure this by I say I'll take it about here that's more than I need and my son
asked me my youngest the other day how do you always cut your paper so straight dad I'll take
my knife here and I'll use this as a template I'll put it here and I'll go down we watch this
now I gotta clean stuff isn't watching me do that it's the man I can never get them straight like
that anyhow so when that's done now let's guy here I'm going to leave my bottom loose because
I'd have the screen I still want to place in there I'm going to put this here and not there
then I'm going to cut this guy out and get rid of this for flash and cut this out here check
that down and this one here now remember I got to put my vinegar so I leave this loose this guy
here with nasty flex out of the way because it I'm going to take my hands here gouge it right there
once I got it jogged in there I take my knife and I got a clean cut now here I could place a couple
hacks there the last thing I'm going to do is Mark the studs then we'll go ahead and paper
as usual and then we're gonna wire on top of that now you see this way I'm not getting this coffee
all over me because I just put it in there and that stuff you need gasoline to get it off you
anyway we're getting ready to keep paper it up alright guys done with most of my soffit mesh and
we always have to overlap soffit mesh by at least a couple inches here I've got a little holiday see
where it's spongy here so I just bend a piece of softened mesh this is three point four minutes and
get a staple here just like that so my my money will it here without offended then I'm going to
finish here finally I'm going to place corners over everything I've already pre bent this now we
want to go like chibok corner the corner oh we've got to be on this stud here too on this stud so
what we're going to it place this guy in here like on our step now boarding a gun this kind of work
Alright next I'm going to put corners on all of this and here again
I'm using inch-and-a-quarter crown staples but I could use 7/8 stuff to attach it plus 7/8 of the
lega then to the Raptor or the stud itself we're fine ok guys we're going to conclude
where we started off inside this little cubby hole we've got the ruler bet now it works much
better than the one with just the plain holes because you're washing inside here rot out that
bug seal he's going to put electrical outlet on this guy here we've got our corners here all the
way around the perimeter here the soffit is all done and if you step back there Jay watch that
filled in fish pond which is like quicksand I stepped in there pick up your knees anyhow the
corner eight is here you all aligns everything is done there's a lot of work on the rooftop
to but you get the idea anyhow my name's Kirk I'm with Kirk giordano plastering, we thank you
folks for watching hopefully, you learned some detailed tips on how intricate lathing works.
