hi guys Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, okay what I want to point out is say this straight
saw cut that's pretty straight however the wires left on it a a lot of people ask me can we just
do a straight cut and then break it out with a hammer chisel electric or air and usually I'll
say we need a jagged edge now this fella here when he was on the ball he'd cut this out with
a saw then he used an air tool to break it out and he left the wire still attached this is actually
ground down a wee bit to then that's good but I'll show you what how we do this now generally
this the LA city is going to come and inspect this now notice our his new paper is over the
existing paper two layers that's okay but I'm here I like to add another layer that way when the city
inspector comes you'll see that it's done with you won't have to guess I mean there's two layers here
but the city inspector may not know that so what I do is I just take some pieces here I fish these
in and a fellow is asking how do you fish that stuff it you just go back and forth eventually
it's going to hit a nail or a screw get it in like so okay I'm gonna give another piece of
paper and I'm going to continue with that process right there oh okay see how we fish that in there
eventually it hits a nail or a screw when it does we stop there's two more layers right in and the
same applies all the way around what we're going over you see that one went in about an inch and
a half that's good put a couple staples right there and we trim it out like so okay now that
would shift out I'm going to take you to a window that we've already done and that just we do both
sides like this and then we're actually going up underneath there we've got about a 3 inch stucco
lip and it's we're not worried about water right up there but I'm going to copy that line anyhow we
are in back of this as far as we can go all right there's another thing because we're going over say
what they have here is not a sheer wall. It's not plywood. It's actually a type of Voss spongy
board. It's like sheetrock, except it's very spongy. If I was to try to put this here and use
my tables, it just pops out because the board is too sponging off some of them. Ah, there you go,
so what I'm doing is I'm using my big gun. I turn to compress it off so I might run out of air,
but if it's on, I will drown myself out. Here's what we do we put some staples
put staples here entire needs still a little bit of wire we'll take some new wire fur it out put
this and we're going to complete this process just to tie it in let's do here keep in mind the idea
this video is to show you a straight talker that straight soccer when I come to actually do this
to metwork I'm going to take some weld cream Walt peat as a bonding agent to choose family companies
of concrete but we could also use it to apply apply it in joints like this where it'll work
pretty good it's not as good as a jagged edge but at least we have the wire you have the wire tie
into the existing wire you're less likely to get a hairline crack so that's what we're doing here
today and of course when I get ready to do the stucco another day after the inspection I'm going
to show that also because that's a common question folks ask me about straight edges and how to how
to tie it in because I usually recommend a jacket but again this does work right here especially
with a precautionary measure of weld crete and you I take the water hose and I get all this dust off
a lot of dust right now so anyhow that is how we repair this and again if you have any excess about
a half inch from the window with the wire but I thought I like to get about a little closer
than this is solid and half inch is okay so that's why I had jason cut me all these rippers
here anyhow my name is Kirk giordano plastering, and as usual, folks will see on the next one.
