Hello folks, Kirk and Jason herewith, Kirk Giordano plastering,
today what we have in store to show you folks is an old color coat now this color coat was
probably Silverado back in 1926 we're in 2011 now obviously it this color coat was applied about 80
years ago I asked him what year was the house and when was it built nice in 1926 and said how long
have you lived here and they said the color coats been here for forever since they built
the house which means about 1926 La Habra if you google La Habra color charts that'll say 1926 is
when they originally started within a year or two and western color started around 1932 don't quote
me on that because give it take a year or two so this particular color coat is applied and a
good 80 years ago now I'm gonna take you around the house and I'm going to show you some things
that I find pretty fascinating when it comes to original color coats I do that quick example
say for example if I'm charging ten thousand to pressure wash this and color it and they get a
bid for eight thousand to paint the whole house what's the better deal well if this has already
lasted 80 years and it does not come off it's a better deal the color coded if you pay $8,000 to
paint it well then every eight years you're going to be repainted it's always a better idea go with
the color coat over a color coat especially one that this this nice this is one of the older ones
that I've seen but this is a great video as far as to show an idea of the longevity of these I
want to show you a couple other things over this way you probably have to stand in this corner
over here yeah grasp this okay now well shoot over there to that down stop notice the color real dark
right here and then it's very light right here well that joint leaked and the water came here
and bleached it out this marking here where the water came off of the eaves and hit the ground and
hit here it bleached that out now over here you have the same same issue and then they had vines
crawling up the house the water kind of bleached this out too and over 80 years it will do that but
this finish will never come off that's the beauty of a color coat maintenance-free originally they
we weren't certain if it was El Dorado or silver gray we're gonna color coat this with El Dorado
now this variation here is work that they've done that they just tried to match the color anyway I
can tell that because I know what I'm looking at but the bleach marks from an existing color
coat are different from marks of original work plus I can see where they dab their floats right
here you square patches no sir I'll guess float mark last thing I'll show you guys real quick
down there is the rear of the house again they did these brand new windows and doors beautiful
windows the doors so we're gonna set some stage in here we're gonna color coat the entire house
when we get to that stage there's a lot of prep work today, so when we get to that stage whether
it's next week we'll show you how we apply a maintenance-free finish over this maintenance-free
finish and no this time we do not need to apply wealth cream because our new finish will adhere
by suction as soon as we wet this wall and we put the new coat on suction will adhere that properly,
and it will laugh this one's been here 80 years of next one and last 100 years or two,
but it will fade eventually just as it did on the rear don't confuse the fade
here this is new work to the fade now is trying to show you earlier
alright lastly guys everything's pressure wash we've said scalpel these stress cracks right
here where it's bulging I put a sick of flex in here I'll put a thick of flex in here and
I'm going to put fiber mesh tape and I'm gonna float it with Portland cement over this finish
prior to our new finish is that going to stop this wall from very cracking absolutely not
but it's a good method to tape for longevity as best it can because we wanted to do this where
wouldn't crack well we have Taylor Wawa no stucco is butted into the foundation which there is no
expansion and then to make matters worse concrete is poured against that we have a 4-inch slab we
have one inch of stucco there's nowhere for you go we are on a hill it's about an 80 year old
home and this hill some garbage trucks are going by big trucks so it's gonna move and you do the
best you can with what you have to work with but I never tell folks gee whiz we're gonna do this and
you're never gonna get a crack here again that's impossible somebody says that there's somebody
else anyhow we're gonna color code we're done with everything on God except for patching and the rest
of these will see you guys when we get ready to color Kirk here Kurt dude on the plastering show
you the Rat Pack before we lose all our energy toward the end of the day on this particular
house we're gonna do a 20 30 finish that's what they have right now we're just gonna spruce it
up a little bit while we're going through the whole thing we'll show you how we're doing it
Jake's on camera brothers Nixon you'll see all of us applying this color finish when we're at that
stage well guys the way we're doing is just on the camera Jason's off the camera Jake's spreading
down here we can't notice one thing coming from all my previous videos there's no walls cream on
this house it doesn't move it's already a million spree finish it's eighty years old so how long
color coat Shakespeare's right to it by suction hose the walls down saturate a move a little bit
then when we put this on ready to go all right guys Jason is loading up the stage in one thing
about loading unloading and setting dismantling scaffold you have to have two things you have to
have the strength and intelligence and I'm talking about alert intelligence lot things can go wrong
jason has a strengthen actually competes in all these tough mudder contests running 10 miles
going through swamps things like that and when we took our EPA led class he was first one to finish
and got him all right when the rest of us were far behind it's Friday he's actually finished
loading his truck even before we finished our color so it just shows the energy level and of
course it is Friday to be done yeah it was a tough week okay guys we are complete I'm gonna walk you
around and show everything now light it is here in dark this is drying this is drying up anyway
walk follow me around yeah yeah well show the rest of the house Jim Jake these guys phenomenal
blasters anyway follow me over here we got down a little bit earlier I told me if we finished early
I'd buy him some beer anyway we got we got this here follow me around yeah my rolls for cleanup
are real simple think the house is better than you found it can't get much simpler than that
and you step back there Jay you should be able to get the whole thing in now with all this dries we
just finished this rear when all of this dry it's gonna be a lot lighter like this some folks see it
I love it when it's dark some folks panic and go it's too dark but it is whatever the color
sample shows anyhow thank you folks for watching us do this this was a fun project because it was
a color coat maintenance-free finish that was on here previously to put another one over it
not too often that we find these 80 year old color finishes anyhow my name is Kirk I am
with Kirk giordano plastering thank you folks for watching I'll see you guys on the next one
