howdy folks Kirk here with kirik giordano plastering, today what I'm going to show
you folks I'm gonna color coat this entire house I'll show you guys what you can and what you can't
do with the studio aisles of what what are the methods as far as to pleasing everybody as far
as the city and their codes and things when I first got here I bid the house to color coded
and then the fella said well gee what can we redo this we have wood here and I said
yes we could stucco this and a week later they called us and said would you there's a
house up the street here they have arches and we want to do hardships can we do that I said
yes you can do that do whatever you want to do and he the brick they had here he says well can
we remove the brick yes you can do it whatever you want to do so they remove the brick they
just put this contemporary stuff here some Millikan's break in I guess we're gonna put
on a laugh over here a lot of them put in here is four studs this has paper and wire together
generally what we do is we put two letters of paper then we put individual wires this wire
here it's got the paper it's small paper back and it's four studs this wire here is just why
show you guys a few more things too because back when I was looking at this house they took me up
the street here to a house it cracked like an egg this house cracking can you reinforce
everything so then my son he's cutting cover me up do the laughs on this the chip screen here
this is a piece of metal here now on the other house I thought when we looked at it I said
that's hydration but then I said let me check something else because you could stick credit
cards and crack and what I found out is they place this drip screen exactly where the plywood ended
me every time that they put the sprinklers on or they washed it the plywood it back got wet
because they didn't put the drip screen where it's needed to be this drip screen needs to be
below the plywood it needs to happen that way with your water in your plant it doesn't swell
the plywood and cause cracks in the stuff because it will crack the stuff up anyway a couple other
little things I'll show you we're gonna put drip screed around this this pillar here arch 8 here
we're gonna tie in properly breaking out here to tie in properly the last thing I'll show you
is the ceiling the ceiling now this ceiling we're gonna stuff it with ceiling so because
it's a solid ceiling we're gonna put a mesh up here it's called three point four it's Salford
or dimpled whatever you want to call it meaning it's not gonna be flat but it's Salford so the
stucco can mushroom and back of it so that's how he keels anyhow we're gonna get started and or
continue get started and finish this up and I'll show you a few other tips alright guys so a couple
more tips while we're showing the stud wall I'm switching to this Davis wire at the very bottom
I'm trying to keep the house the whole house doesn't have any drip screens on it so what
we're gonna do is we're gonna take the plaster down to the ground and you have to have the wire
to the ground or you should have it and then I'm going to sprinkle up to here this way we're not
the mud sills here so we're covering the mudsill plus we're wiring thought weak up to the top this
Salford wire actually four studs has this flap the flap goes here and I put my next piece pod
that also comes out and notice the bottom here the bottom of this has no paper the reason for that is
I'm gonna put it I'm gonna put put it over here so the wire ties in like this otherwise we get
a hairline crack between the three pieces also a quick thing here this pillar is on concrete okay
there's no way around it no concrete so what we do is we put some kind of a coffee knife I just
happen to like the sick of products it's a good sealing do we surround the pole then we put our
screens on I got the three sides done and this one here is gonna go on like that and yeah it
squeezes out and it's kind of messy but the thing is waters gonna hit this concrete when it hits
this concrete it's gonna have a tendency to want to go underneath so I use the whole tube on this
guy here so when the water hits here won't run out the bottom of the concrete normally they'll have
a Simpson Strong Tie if the house was original and then we can do our job without having to resort to
the caulking but when you do have that you got a resort to it anyhow I got one more ash on the roof
I want to show you folks and we almost complete as far as an existing house of how to add stucco
to it okay guys say last thing on flashing details for the roof here this wood used to go down to the
roof and I told the fellas G flour you I bring it up because I have to put a drip screed on and if I
put my drip screed on the roof and the plywood's on the roof the rains gonna go up and it's gonna
saturate this and it's gonna expand and my stuck was gonna crack and you're gonna yell at me so he
cut it all back here and fortunately they used a 4 and 4 inch flashing so this flashing goes behind
this wood here probably here it's pretty standard stuff so what I want to do is I like to always go
about an inch but sometimes it doesn't allow me to I have to look at all the flashing detail and
I just want to raise this off of the roof a little bit again normally a half inch but the flashing
dictates how high I can go I don't want leaks to cut up on people points so I'm about right here
which is a just about a half inch I'm gonna staple in and continue on up all right guys we're doing
softens and as I I just temporarily tacked this on my son said well we got a piece that'll fit
perfectly here but I wanted to just prove a point here this was three point four Salford which means
it's dimpled on one side now we got dimples on this site so the stucco will mushroom on top this
if I put this up here and try to stucco these big old holes inch and a half on a soffit it'll just
keep falling down I'll be working forever trying to do it so what I'm gonna do is after I get this
piece set up I'm gonna cut this piece of mesh right here and put this mesh right here and then
we're gonna corner a tit so I've been to many jobs when folks have done their own work and a
whole ceilings are what this I don't know man it's gonna require I can't do it it's just keep falling
because of gravity it's okay on the wall but not on a ceiling so anyhow I'm gonna finish stapling
this off here notice I got big overlaps right here that compressor goes on we're gonna stop but
Okay, guys, let me show you the last technique putting corners on. I got my art chase you're
gonna do these corners on already now I'm gonna put this corner on then my arch will be a lot
easier with both of these corners on because now I have guides you take this 6x6 pillar now it's
going to be an 8x8 pillar or because I'm putting these corners on okay so this adds 7h technically,
but for the sake of explaining now this 6x6 is an 8 by 8, so I'm gonna catch it now once
that's attached I get my arch aide at most you homeowners will have nightmare overtime trying
to do this stuff you kind of want to pre-bend it pre-bend it and get it on there like this
now I'm using my template the two corners that are on here as the guy right there.
Follow it down and join it right into these. This way, we're all said and done this arches nicely,
and I have a template. The last thing I always have a lot of extra corners. Here's a good idea
to do with an extra point. You don't have to do this. Still, you straighten them out
why something the garbage would you can put them out the most culprit areas that tend to
need ever bored look around the neighborhood windows and doors huge oak doors migration
causes cracking your reinforce this and when you scratch him, Brown. It's less likely to crack.
We're gonna color coat this house anyway. Even if it does crack, if I see no hairline cracks,
I'm going to put fiber mesh tape there anyhow just to be on the safe side. Still,
if you have excess, you always use it in the key area rather than throw it away. Hey, I'm gonna
wrap this up now got a couple corners left to do but work. My name is Kirk. I am with Kirk Giordano
plastering. Thank you, folks, for watching, and as usual, see you guys on the next one.
