Hi guys, kirk is here with kirk giordano Plastering, Last week
today, what i'm going to show you guys is we did doing a job for Mark Schmidt. Come on in a little
bit because traffic uh mark Schmidt construction and mark smith's number is very code 510 521-3957
I was dealing with mark for 30 years anyway a week ago it was planted in a lot of rain mark came
out here. They took all of the stucco off because it had lead baits. I don't do that, so he came out
and pulled all the stuff off. We papered the whole wall for the mark. He still tarped it off. That's
the kind of work mark does i'm going to show you some other kind of work he does because we're here
in Alameda i'm going to show off his own personal skills because this guy is good at what we're
going to do today is we're going to pull the tarp off. It's already two layers of paper, so we're
going to put some more wire, but what i really want to show is this tie in right here. See this.
what i really want to show is the tie-ins what i'm going to do is i'm going to take all this stuff
off then i'm going to show you a tire this one we've got some pretty good paper we have at least
uh three inches the city you know i prefer 12 my vertical overlaps i go a foot and a half sometimes
to 12 but when if this is all we got that's all we got the fella john mark's man who was tearing
all this stuff off originally he went six inches at a time he was here five six days tearing off
this is the best he can do so they decided the homeowner and the contractor decided enough is
enough let's stop it right here the only bad place we have is up there but i'm going to show that to
you as we get there now melons got the fun job of pulling it all off the roof and getting all
the wood off that and she is going to stretch it all out and fold it all up for my buddy mark
fun job let me show you guys something extremely coincidental i'm working for mark schmidt it used
to be paul schmidt construction his dad's been retired for about i don't know eight ten years
but about 30 years ago paul and i were on a job apartment building and malin just said yeah how
come you're gonna put a metal if there's already a metal i'll show you why we did
an apartment building and they had the screen like this and the wave street has holes in it
and the fellows who did this apartment building painted it so well there were no holes here
that paul mark's dad got under there with a drill reverse drill and drilled under
underneath here and created a drip and for the next few hours this thing was pouring out water
so somebody on this apartment building about five six units on the lower case they were all had to
leave because the of the fungus and the wood rot inside the house so it's coincidental i'm doing
the job for mark who's uh paul's son and paul actually and i were on the job when he did this so
this is why i'm counting uh l flashing with a drip screen so we don't ever get that effect say when
they paint this i hope they do a nice job but what it does is it still allows water to come out of
this weak screen it'll come and wheat harmlessly on this and then of course mark schmidt put this
piece on another coincidental thing about 28 years ago we were doing a chimney with mark and i used
some 35-year stuff and he came by and says kurt what kind of crap is that we want polyurethane
so i've been using these polyurethanes ever since anyway his man john he put all kinds of poly he
probably used ten tubes of caulking underneath here then they set this piece of metal on it
knowing that we were gonna come and counterflash it like so and again this vapor has been on for
about a week so we're gonna trim it all up and we'll show you a few more tips when we get to
that stage especially this one here this is a good one all right now these guys came they've got uh
an asphalt peeling stick here then he put his um stucco stops around the window and by the way this
window is an arch window this is rubber oh you got to really string line this and put this rubber
piece on you put it on his peeling stick then this paper is going to go into the key and i'm going to
cut it and i'm going to seal this again let this rubber peel and stick well very busy street guys
and i don't have a mic so hopefully we're not being drowned out anyway this rubber peel or um
stucco stop is new i i want to show it to you when we get to the top because it is kind of
fascinating stuff but first we're going to finish dripping this and wire and take it up
okay guys now note now listen well dal how come you don't just put this street on top of this one
because there might be some young ambitious really competent painter come along and he'll
[ __ ] this bottom that way it'll be in that same position that i was explaining earlier i've got
a half edge on here that what i do is i put a staple on it then we pull this down
and we cut it out and one of the things
we want to point out is for the sake of this video is these
weep screed or drip holes should not be covered uh hopefully when the painter comes here, he'll use a
good quality paint like the elastomeric, which are kind of waterproof, but we don't
we want to seal the exterior, but we don't want to seal underneath it we want the water to go through
there we had that little experience, so that's why i'm bringing it up anyhow we're going to continue
Beautiful all right guys now because we papered first. Oh, john came in, and he put his trim on it
since this is where i could reach. So I'll show you how it's supposed to be done.
Although he has a windowsill here flashing, and then he's got this
peel and sticks type flashing here, we are still obligated, and he's cocked this.
We are still obligated to apply a bead of caulking now. I'll just usually go like so
a little bit of uh polyurethane caulking because what we want to do is we want to fuse this paper
to the wood jam or in this case this plastic jam and when i when i put my wire over here i can do
it before or after the coffee it doesn't matter as long as i have some caulking and then right
now i can use my finger to squeeze it in there and fuse it all together but if i had the wire here
i tried to use my finger i poked my finger and i've done it many times i poked so bad sometimes
i went to the bone that piece of wire so uh we're gonna go up top now and show you some more things
okay guys we're at a stage now again this is how mark schmidt does things
one schmidt does not mess around everything is code or above he's got his bike or here he's got
uh his window stop on here and again this radius window stop is new it's rubber it just flexes it
never rot then he had a custom made flashing cap for this this is custom made perfect art
this goes over here and incidentally when we cover this here but our paper underneath is flashing
and then we're going to put this one back and every time we have a joint here
we put new paper new paper and any holes we use caulking and by the way last week when
mal and i came in here we marked all our studs so i wouldn't have to be looking for them right now
so we're almost done we're going to wire this up uh get our papers in between here then coffees and
we'll show you the final complete okay guys we're at a stage where i thought i better show you this
this paper overlaps this one then what you can do this is what i'll generally do i'll put a
whole piece in and cover everything this way we are sure that there's no water gonna get in here
a couple things like so so we find our groove here's our group come down
we'll cut out the top of it there we have it these two layers go over this two layers and i'll put
a bead of caulk in here and because we're pretty thorough see this is compromised right here where
he had to lift up i put two more layers under this i want to cross this cut right here by at least a
foot so i want to go foot in this direction a foot in this direction so i'm going to lift these two
pieces up and slide my two layers over here come down over here and then cut it just like that
we're one step closer to be a water type okay guys
six inches guys our stucco
Otherwise, inspectors start yelling at us anyhow. This is all stapled off of the beer,
but i generally pretty loud here. What i generally like to do is we got a flashing hand. Here
it's a heavy bill flashing, so i can use concrete nails i can use roofing nails i can use any nails
i want as long as i cover the heads with coffee. Also, this gap right here, there's a flashing
that's going to go on top of this. This is why it failed in the first place. It's a parapet cap
fair could usually cap last about 60 years take care of them the last 300 years,
which means getting up there every seven years and painting them with some kind of a sealer.
Still, we're going to go ahead and caulk this, and then the flashing is going to go down four inches
on this side and four inches on the other side. That's the correct way to waterproof a perfect cap
forever. The last thing i want to point out is, uh, let's see over here when you guys around me.
and get right here to this uh
i showed you earlier how to caulk this using uh the polyurethane caulking with
With your finger, don't do your finger trick here because what you'll do is you'll bleed like
crazy. You'll do that damn kirk he showed me to do something goofy now i'm bleeding
what I'll generally do is I'll get some paper that i'm gonna throw away okay I've got this
there are 12 layers here now I'll take this paper and use my hand and go into the groove
until you had Until you guys have had one of these things stick you and hit your bones,
it hurts you don't do that any way we're gonna put some corners on here we're gonna get out of here
my name is kirk i am with kirk giordano plastering that is how you go ahead. Water tied a building
before many obstacles like they didn't have windows and things in there
anyhow, i thank you for watching, and as usual, guys, we'll see you guys on the next one.
