hi guys kirk here with kirk giordano plastering, today what we're going to do is we're going
to tie this old wood lath to new woodland a fella here lee, he put in a new window now
the old window came out to here so of course he had to reply with this guy right here
a lot of ways to do the plywood you could bring it out to the first strips here which would be three
quarters but he just happened to have the half half inch while we're here i'm going to go ahead
and install this z flashing up here i'm going to install the z flashing and a lot of folks i still
get a lot of calls and people say how the heck do you tie that old wood lap into the new a lot of
caulking this stuff right here a lot of it so this part's easy we're going to take our new paper here
and go under or go on top of this paper here where the wood lath is now this would laugh
it's uh outdated but i see it often very often and it still has the paper intact which means the
house has been kept in great condition so we're going to take our new paper here and come over
here it doesn't matter where we come i'm going to come to about this point here that way i still
have my stucco keys the important part on this is the sides okay when we go up vertically here
i'm going to place my paper to about right here and then i'm going to caulk caulk it real well so
when it rains that all these keys right here will be caulked in then of course the top is the most
critical where after i install that z flashing i'm going to put my paper in this first groove
and come over that z flash and come over this and caulk that then i'm going to come to the
next group as a precautionary measure i'm going to come to the next group slide my paper in this
stucco key and caulk that also and that way we're water tight you'll see it when i i get to that
stage okay guys we're at a stage now where this is pretty much the key the caulking when you're
doing this old wood laugh to nude notice i cut my look like little soldiers right here standing up
i cut just for this little job this is going to be my fourth two but i cut them
deep right here because i want a lot of caulking you cut the tip off only a little bit comes out
it's hard to squeeze this stuff too it's polyurethane but you see how much caulking
i've used here quite a bit quite a bit here i've tucked this first sheet into the first key i'm
actually going to dig this stucco out here and go into the next key just a precautionary measure
this is already watertight but i put a fat bead of coffee in here also all the
way around and i put that bead of caulking prior to where if i put the wire and then i
put the caulking the wire gets in the way and i can't really seal it well and then my gun gets
jammed up with this nasty polyurethane caulking so i always do it first next thing you're gonna
see is i'm gonna put my final piece of paper right in here and fuse that and again with with old lap
like this you use a lot of coffee but it's worth every bit of the caulking you use to waterproof it
okay guys we're complete with this i'm just going to nail it off now but i thought i'd point out
lastly fella a lot of calls too where folks say gee is there a way to put the wire on yes there is
the dimples have got to be touching the wall and that way it's exposed so our mud gets behind it
i put my second piece of paper into the key up here that way i'm dual keyed in here uh real
tricky to waterproof these properly anyway this is how we do it and i installed this z-flash in here
we don't necessarily have to place caulking here and i always go a little overboard better
over than under anyhow i'm getting ready to nail this off but this is the proper way that us
stucco guys repair this good laugh to a new lap my name is kirk i'm with kirk giordano plastering,
thank you folks for watching, and we'll see on the next one.
you
