hi guys Kirk and Jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering let me show you guys today is how we
repair this here these folks did something mighty clever they had the roof redone but the water
continued to set here so they called the Ripper and said hey put me a spout over here and so he
did and of course they've got these decorative downspouts what I'm gonna do is first take the
decorative downspout out of here because it's gonna be in my way and then what we're gonna
do is you see the wire that they have in there right now that's that's a chicken wire and that's
okay for certain things but not for what we want what we want is we want this type of wire this is
a mesh if I try to plaster this it'll go right through it and can continue to fall and when we
do this we're gonna make it very very sticky our mud but before we even get to here what I'm gonna
do is I'm gonna score this now they they just cut the hole through here drilled it and popped
it through which pulled the stucco off so what I my job now is to try to find out how much to take
off I'm looking at it and I see it right here I'm not sure how I score this I'm not going to put my
handy dandy mask on cuz you guys won't hear me but I am going to just pop off lightly because
if I pull this off it'll take it all the way to the top here and it could go all the way down
so what I do is I grab it here and pull it just pull it drop it down pull it or I could score it
which means I'd take the hammer here and score it right around there it's gonna get a little
bit dusty and take the so called skirt off I am gonna put my mask on and do this but as soon as
I get this done I'll show you how we wire it and do this to network - okay guys now that I got that
nasty stuff off what I'm doing here is I'm trying to seal the wood because all that dusts that come
off just now when I go to plaster this dust is gonna go in my face unless I get rid of it so
this gives me a better seal you can see an idea if when I go into the Keith these are keys the
stucco adheres by going through the keys as I brush it on there you can see that stuff coming
out there I want all that stuff off as so when I get ready to do my plaster it will not go in
my face okay guys using this drill because you can't nail through this stuff if you try to nail
it'll bounce him everything in the field it'll bounce all over the place and just drop a lot all
I needed wire us for this one little hole right here which I figured since I have the wild wire
I'll do the whole thing make it easier when I go to attach the plaster because we're going overhead
a lot of stuff falls in your face anyway that's tight now Jay's gonna mix me up some cement and
if you're gonna do a soffit guys just the cements got to be very rich extra extra cement less sand
otherwise you're going to put it on and just keep falling on your head we'll show you that in a few
seconds okay guys hey got a lot of accelerators in here and we got some sticky mud if you you folks
gonna try this you just do a scratch coat then come back another day it's tough to do both coats
in one day with this and yes if you don't like to get dirty don't try this because it is gonna
fall we get myself situated here this stuff has a tendency to fall all over the place and if you're
right under it goes right on your head okay what I want to do is kit I want us to key up under this
stucco and right between the natural key like puller don't stand directly under it guys if
you're doing this cuz I've had to fall in my face many times see where we're going with this another
another scoop and I will probably have have it and this got so many accelerators in it it's gonna dry
Jay would love for that to fall right on my head right now okay okay another scoop out of here
and again guys if you're gonna do this Jay's been mixing for years he knows how to get it real stiff
like this in fact fast as I put it on it's it's hardening okay get situated here again alright hmm
This is one of difficult things to do guys to go mud over your head two coats back-to-back because
it has a tendency to wanna fall off gravity one more little scoop to get in here and then I'll
show you how we float it okay guys yeah messed it Jay went to grab me a float bucket in a clump
though right on my head anyway now what I want to do is I want to float this and I want to
bring the aggregate out this is a - finished it's a throne on finished what I'll generally do is get
my edges first and squeeze hard because we're working against gravity here this does have a
tendency to want to fall and it will fall don't do it just right even if you do it just right
we can fall on you anyway what this is doing now is I'm opening it and floating it so when I throw
on my next finish it has it'll have the texture already similar so this is called floating guys
and as soon as I start to - you'll see the last phase of this quick fix all right guys at a stage
now where fun stuff is over now I'm just going to clean my fish a board flip this float around twice
clean up the fascia board and this is actually a - finished you throw it on I've got a lot of
videos where we show how to throw this - finish on Jays right next to me so if I'm dashing this
way we're gonna we're gonna hose the whole house down I don't want to get any on that camera or on
Jay so we're not going to show you the - finish but we show you how to put it all back together
