hi guys Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, my son Jason's as usual, doing that video as usual
on this particular one it's a pretty simple tie-in but what I like about this is a fellow emailed me
yesterday and I called him back and said geez can you take a photograph of that window and email it
to me so no problem he did he emailed me this I was able to see the texture and the size of
the window I emailed him back of a price and here we are today and this was this took place
about 8 p.m. last night it's it's about 8:30 in the morning today and that's how easy it is with
video and cameras so what we're going to do here today is this window here we're gonna pick which
the college who did this whether they did a real nice job installing it because they went ahead and
use this grace membrane and caulk it correctly so we're gonna put our new paper underneath here on
top of this work our way up and then we're gonna reseal this right along the edge here with some
others Sikaflex polyurethane caulking better safe than sorry now we're gonna do two coats
of stucco and because of that good photograph they sent me online by via an email I was able
to see this texture right here and so I put that material in my truck pretty pretty simple thing
and technology just amazes me my son doing the video here he's pretty good at it but I'm still
amazed at how it can save you so much time because this particular job oh it's good 45 minutes from
my house so I've saves me the time of coming here instead I just pass the savings on to the
customer and we're all happy anyway we're gonna get started and throughout it also show you some
tips thank you okay guys it's not like 10 minutes from left not time to turn it off I wanted to show
you this because a lot of people keep calling and asking me about this particular thing all right
we have the new paper or the existing paper that was here when we took our fortified err this is
just a standard flashing paper it's craft and it's got fiber mesh in it so we push this over and we
go over the existing paper now they're great men and again patellas who did this window is a real
nice job installing it so we're gonna pull this paper off of the greatest membrane that they've
used we're gonna stick it this is where folks keep calling me saying how do you do it yeah all right
that sticks down on the side the same thing we're going to pull it off the side here I actually only
cut a little bit of the membrane here to show you guys underneath here I put more for to flash over
their existing paper which is a great condition piece of plywood here and what they have here is
a portable it's a fiber board it's no longer used these days but it's it's better than just a stud
house it's pretty fragile when you hit it with your hammer Kakkar kind of dented so I've used
this heavier craft paper around the edges and I'll bring the craft up two layers seventeen gauge wire
we will tie the wire to the existing wire thereby not getting a perimeter crack when we're done and
of course it matters which way you put the wire itself third wire so put it on backwards of the
tendency to hairline crack when you're done is about a month or two so anyway how this is the
part I want to show you guys and emphasize that the graves membrane always goes over the new
paper that we install over the existing papers and of course they see the cap here all window
manufacturers have different specifications these guys I don't have a Z flashing up here which I
like about the specification say they don't need it so I'm gonna go ahead and use this moist op
easy seal I'm going to put it right here this is a peel and stick also you you peel this you stick
it right down here access for me a pretty good waterproof then when we take our new paper go
up here decide we use that paper to the window the polyurethane caulking fuse this all it is
it ever going to get any range doubtful I've got a two-foot overhang which protects itself
anyway that's where we're going and you'll see us as we're doing it alright guys there
you have it we're ready for what I'm using it for the house caulking is called moist ops we
know manufacturer recommends it so I mean to what they're recommending generally I'm using a second
flash pal here isn't talking but I always like to go with what they recommend anyway we'll see
yeah we get ready to scratch a brown this well folks I didn't want to bore you with a scratch
around so I did the scratching Brown I use the product we often use for simple jobs like this
and it's called luminite get it at Westside building material what you do is you take a
bucket about this sides we fill to the top with cement you mix it up then you take about a half
scoop of luminite pour it in there drill it in and it sets both coats so both coats are done
here and never been here for just two hours but what I want to show you guys is transition or
feathering in that's on this particular finish unless you know what you're doing I wouldn't
try it but I'm gonna show you anyhow after both coats are done you take this hard rubber float
then you get struck these guys later joint I've already found that the joining here show you what
you would you do like so then after you either joint with your hard rubber float then comes a
sponge float and you don't want too much water on this otherwise it's gonna wash it right off I got
a little bit of water and what I'm doing is just like the transition when I put my script skipper
out finish which is in this bucket here this is the color coat texture mud and so the color
coat will match this because it originally was a color coat it wasn't done with the scratch and
brown coat otherwise I wouldn't have brought this so the transition or feathering in what
we call the stucco which determines the level of professional skills and how all right guys
back again I'm gonna start the feathering in with this La Habra color photo same material
is what they apply here 30 years ago and again this is a technical thing I don't know if the
camera will show this but we have quarter inch lip around this window of which when we're done that
quarter inch lip will remain seen so the idea is to keep this wall true and plumb in all directions
feather it in as tight as possible so when they paint it you don't notice it all right here
I look at their texture, and I just my texture. I look at the guys the way he had his, and I can
see he's going sideways of mainly up, so I'm gonna go mainly up. I'm going to take a few insides with
the idea to give it a little bit each because when this is painted if you have my barbecue, the last
thing you want somebody to point it out say hey man did you have a new window put in there.
notice when they did their windows originally they started from the windows and worked away
from it so I'm starting from the windows working away from it all normally you would be able to
see it but it's a different color just gonna pick up a hockey table learn how to do this if
you have about five years under your belt doing this kind of stuff so if it's a texture like this
better call a professional remove the tape and just give you an idea looking at this texture
they went straight up so I need to put some lines of mine that way all is said and done they remove
this it's a real tight thing and I'm gonna leave this set for about one minute then I'm going to
come back over it and scroll it down so I leave some Ridge to match theirs well guys there you
have it and last thing I'll show you is pull the plastic off around the window and I take
my trowel and I kind of just trim down the side here here at once right here and the transition
is beauty is this texture can show you with the dark background how well this matches
anyway this one's done this is for those of you want to do it but don't know how the texture
here who probably stops on 9 out of 10 people because you got to have some time in I do a lot
of little jobs I got a lot of people calling me on decks things of leaking things like that you
have any questions about stuff call me email me and I'll answer your questions again this is Kirk
with kirk giordano plastering, we thank you Jason for doing the video and we'll see you on the next one.
