Hey guys, Kirk and jason are here with kirk giordano plastering, and today i'm going to
show you how to laughs up this new window install. And a couple interesting things are going on here,
so we're going to have a good time. First off, they saw cut this now. When you're doing stucco,
you need to typically expose two to three inches of paper and wire to waterproof it
and not get a perimeter crack. Now they exposed really nice existing paper. This
is already almost waterproof. It's a stud house meaning that in between,
we've got these studs here at marked in between there's nothing you've seen
us before typically what we do is we take our Bulldog, and we're going to break out.
and expose some wire now the danger when you're doing that on a stud house is this is still
waterproof here, but if I go breaking this out with this tool or with any tool use a hammer,
it's going to happen even worse but use this Bulldog and try to expose some wire you can
end up puncturing this paper, and then you don't have a waterproof thing anymore and
what's more important that it's waterproof or that you don't get a perimeter crack so while
I am going to Jack up this edge a little bit because you never want to stucco on to a flat
saw cut edge I am NOT going to break out two or three inches because it's more important
than the windows stay waterproof than it is that they don't get a perimeter crack
All right, so you see, I am breaking this edge and getting a little wire the trick
when you're using a tool like this to do breakout is you don't want to go really
far down and start here. You want to go a quarter-inch to a half-inch at
a time and let the stucco kind of vibrate and explode all on its own
And I should be wearing a mask for this guy's when you're doing this, wear a mask. I've got one I'm
going to put on in a minute, but uh, that's pretty much all I was going to do and do this side too.
with your corner I don't want to go into this corner yes I would like to get some wire but
when you get into a corner you're really dealing with the can of worms again it is better to keep
this waterproof than it is to not get a crack and we're going to do everything we can to not
get a crack anyway but all right so that's all I'm going to do with that for right now and I'm going
to show you how you would waterproof something like this so got our paper actually I got the
wrong one so you always start from your bottom and work up so I've got some nice little pieces
here pre-cut we want to go over the existing paper like so get any of these little Klinker
rocks out of your way sorry if my heads right in the way to that it's not a whole ton of space
here and you're going to staple off into your stud I've got some other paper as well and so
you would essentially just keep doing this leapfrogging over your work and you want to
go down as far as you can and overlap to keep this kind of short I'm just going to show you
this one little corner then I'm going to show you what it looks like when it's all done kind
of hard to be the videographer contractor actor do it all at once normally I got somebody here
but uh something little like this you can do it all yourself and we're sliding the paper as
far in as we can get eventually you're going to hit a staple or a nail whatever they used
There we go. I've got my wire pre-cut for this,
and now there is a way your wire goes on. There's a simple, or in a self,
bird area. Put that on the wall first staple it in now since I don't have and don't want to go 2 to
3 inches deep in here to have my wire overlap one thing you can do is double up that wire;
of course, I run out of staples right on video, so you get your staples in there.
All right, I've got my wire doubled up here. The next thing we'll do is
we'll glue this corner with the bonding agent. We use weld creep,
but there's a bunch of different company products you can do, and we're going to glue
in here to eliminate all the dust and get some on your wire and paper and things like that.
there we go so I'm going to go ahead and put the rest of this window together but just for
example you've seen what I done you put the paper down at your bottom first overlapping
then you do your wire and you glue your corner again this is if you can't or don't need to
break out all the way to get two inches of overlap okay guys so we got this all put
together sorry I couldn't show you every step of the way but hopefully the examples were enough
we've double wired the areas where I couldn't get much wire because I didn't want to pierce
the sheathing underneath but some of it I was able to get some good wire on anyway now what
you got to do is put a couple staples in I've already stapled almost everything on your studs
typically every six inches you want one of these staples once that's done you clean all your edges
so there's no dust I already did this but just to show you guys again you don't want any dust
in there and you want to get a real good bond and finally we're going to caulk everything you
have to caulk around your windows so you fuse the paper to the window frame so nothing gets
in there you know you probably actually can't see this side so why don't I do some where you can see
So you cut your tip real nice, so it dispenses. You can also come in afterward and rub it with a
gloved finger or a piece of paper to really make sure you get everything anyway. It can take me a
minute or two to do that, so there we go, we're watertight, and we're ready for stucco anyway.
