hi, guys. Kirk is here with Kirk Giordano plastering. Today we're gonna do is we're
gonna do the surround of this door here. You want to take a quick view of that last door leak like
a sieve. We're on a deck here above the living room, so anyhow I'll show you how we actually
watertight this notice the fount the flashing here was in great condition when they did the
deck here they tied this membrane which is full of fiber mesh and whatever acrylic they use they
put it in here when I'm doing stuff like this usually this fellow he does all his own laughing,
and he called me. Kirk the paper is completely deteriorated there's nothing there well tear all
the stucco off and he said they don't want to do that so this is how we do it when we're forced to
deal with deteriorated paper and or no paper what we do is we we do two sheets and we kind of shimmy
it in back here we just we get it the best we can and this fella used a a Bosch Bulldog to break
this out which I even recommend that particular tool because it breaks it out with a lot of a lot
of vibration and you use very little muscle which salvages the paper we worked on the back of this
house about Oh 10 years ago and the paper was in much better condition but but of course right here
we're southwest the sun's beating down and up hey right now it's about 100 degrees and it's not even
11:00 o'clock so this gets beat up the heat hits this wall and bakes it and just disintegrates this
paper on the rear we had great paper why on that they had a deck that leaked here and I asked a
contractor I said is this what I think it is they just put the fiber mesh or the fiber glass tape in
here and they'd use some kind of tripolymer and they just painted it and paint it up I said gee
how long you think that's gonna last and right away is the Kirk I know I told him tear all the
stucco off on both sides they didn't want to do that and so I said well easy I'm sorry I exploded
I just was curious my question was how long do you think it's gonna last I have an idea how long this
type of fix will last but I'll keep that to myself generally you'd break all the stuff out and if
there's no good paper here you take it to the top you put a l flashing right here rook to wall then
you put your membrane and then you re stuck wit and that's what seals a deck especially if it's
over a living room but I understand where that fellas coming with because I have to deal with
that all the time too anyhow we're gonna continue paper in this and this is what we do I get a lot
of guys they say gee should we use metal or paper I'm using two layers of paper and I'm pushing it
in pushing it in now I just now got about an inch and a half in there two layers of paper I just use
small areas and I kind of look at the look at it and judge my paper takes a long time to kind of
fish him in there because you'll hit a nail you hit a nail or a staple but there it is two more
layers and I'm gonna do this very slow process all the way up and when it comes to doing the caulking
I'm gonna forfeit my so-called key and what that means is right in here I have a good key where the
stucco goes in that groove and it bonds it real tight so it doesn't crack but instead I'm gonna
fill this with a polyurethane caulking and I'm gonna hit my hit this area with a polyurethane
caulking I'm gonna fuse the paper to the wood and then I'm gonna fuse this in here that's the best
you can do if you're not willing to tear the whole wall off anyhow when we get wire and I'll show you
how we do that - all right guys thank you good tip - the tip of my utility knife I just spent about
15 minutes here just lifting this paper up and pulling some nails out because we want all these
nails out and there's some surfer strips we want those out too so that's about 15 minutes behind
the scene using this this knife blade and what I can do now that I've got that done is I get my two
layers and I slide them under and usually if you have a very clean this is the edge of the paper
it's got a clean edge like that and it'll it'll slide a lot better stay for example all right
and take this and I just I start fishing it up there and it's got to go underneath this existing
doesn't go underneath it it's not doing any good okay and you just slide it now what is okay it's
hit a nail or a rock or hit something but the idea is it's gotta fly it under there and if it doesn't
slide it under there well I have to take it to the top sometimes we have to tear the whole thing off
anyhow you get the idea it's gotta you see this one here this one's sliding under that's about
an inch and a half underneath the existing we want that and then when I put my next piece notice this
this is somewhat important to I don't just put a piece right here I overlap this one and I overlap
this guy here we've got to overlap the verticals are usually three inches overlap so that's why
I'm I'm Way over that we want to overlap as much as possible that once we get that data take it
to the next stage real quick we take this wire we've bend the back I'm using my hammer tackle
to bend it back I could use a hammer I could use the gun on my nail gun use my hand I'm wearing
gloves get it like this pop a couple staples in it just to temporarily hold it before the big gun
then we take our new wire and let's see we wanna we want to overlap the existing wire this this
is going to go to though all the way to the wall and keep in mind - we've still got to caulk this
we're gonna put a big bead of caulk in here and in here yeah and here's a technique that okay this is
too wide I can stretch this now it's just right if it doesn't have the the factory edge it'll
stretch it has a factory edge you can't stretch it anyhow I'm gonna go ahead and finish up this
lat and we'll show the completion when we're done all right guys we're gonna wrap this up right now
but J Dan and I are doing other things on this job Dan says what do you mean dad as far as it
won't stretch well the what I stretch didn't have this factory edge you try to stretch one
of the factory edge we won't do it because of the factory edge here but I am gonna use this up here
to tie this in and lastly I'm not gonna start the gun up yet I'm tacking all this temporarily
if I use my big gun it drowns us out nobody can hear the compressor is too loud this is what I'm
talking about beating up Mikey if I shoot this polyurethane caulking in here like so now I kind
of lose my stucco key but when we come back here to do the cement work I don't worry about a key
myself never have we'll be using a pretty good cement I'm not worried about a hairline crack
here if it cracks it cracks when they when this cures in 30 days and they go to paint if they have
a hairline crack they put a little caulking in it and and and paint it but they got to let that
set for 28 days anyhow and then I I seal this side anyhow folks my name is Kirk Jason on the
camera as usual and he you helped me lathed this too and as usual guys we'll see on the next one
