Good morning guys this is kirk with Kirk giordano plastering, today we're doing a brown coat
it's the second coat that's a two coat system and we're doing this float finish now notice
when we apply the ground coat here it's the second coat we're going to put it on and then we're we
got to match these finish you see where all these uh float lines are it's actually a pretty simple
finish where we we floated and we make lines we we create this finish with with our finish
and we're doing this project for a fella named mark shore shore design and construction my
real easy phone number 847 8900 he does kitchens and bathrooms he has he's located in albany
his shop is next door to truett and white and i've been to his shop
a wood shop where there's no deaths he has such a sophisticated vacuum system in there that's
pretty much how his kitchens and bathrooms are total perfection mark shure and he's been
mentioned on berkley parents network several times as a trusted contractor anyway uh just
figured i'd let you guys know if you need kitchens and bathrooms he does a lot of additions
he does everything i'm gonna walk you around and then while we're in the process of this
i'm gonna show the actual applications of how we match this particular finish
and i have asked the homeowner here to hose down these walls because we did the scratch coats
several days ago and i i've asked them just to hose it down saturate it so to expand and
shrink and crack it slows it down and it actually creates cracks we want the cracks so that when we
do this next quarter what well we walk around jake you can see how the walls look kind of
wet in areas that's where the homeowner dawn has saturated it for me and you see all these little
hairline cracks i don't know if the camera could see these but we want to create that
that way when we're here now there won't be any on the second coat we're coming around here.
and over here
And we're tying in on these walls. Hello guys
um same finish here this heavy float finish it's uh
actually a quite simple finish because if we're not rotting it with uh rods to making sure them
plumb it's all bought by hand, and we're going to create these little lines that while we're
floating it so as we get doing it, I'll show you how we put this on and match this finish
these walls were is about to clean up all this we had a
hose down the roof my daughter's going to clean up this mess because we are getting there, guys
you guys are spreading along with me this green sponge blows right here brings the aggregate out
with the sand another fancy word for sand liver did we just match what they have
We're about to take lunch right now i know these guys are hungry
get mighty hungry doing this stuff. So we'll see you guys.
All about an hour just to show you the final results. Okay, guys, come a little closer again.
See the whole wall here. That's what you call close finish,
and you achieve it with this float. Come around here
Looking good, Madeline. She's pulling all the plastic off the hot water heater,
and all this she's leaving for England next week for a year. You can see what we've done here a
couple patches here and there um anyways, that's what you call a sponge float to finish to match
this existing sponge float finish. Can you get a close-up here? Dad, i don't know? You see it
in the shade. It's exactly what we're doing. It's kind of rough anyway, folks. This is kirk
with Kirk giordano plastering, Thank you, mark shure, for trusting me as usual with our ability
to put this together right without messing anything up. We'll see folks on the next one.
