Good morning folks. Today we're going to do is going to explain how we put this slider back
together. The contractor, Larry bellman building construction, installed this for the apartment
owner; incidentally, we've done many projects for Larry Beilman. He's located in Alameda.
He doesn't generally have second-story additions, but we've done quite a few of
these for Larry. Also, in fact, I'm completely done with this. I will take you to the other
side of this apartment building, where we did a tie-in. I want to show you guys the
transition between the light lace skip trowel finish and the light lace skip trowel finish.
Somewhat it takes time in to be able to blend this texture to a brand new texture here,
so we're you're out in the back deck, you don't look at it. Your friends, say hey, man, I see you
got a new window or door installed there. The idea is I know a texture when I see it where a window
or door was replaced, but I don't want the average person who's coming for a barbecue to look at it
and say, hey, you had a window or door; installed? So we're going to put this together right here;
what I'm going to do is I'm going to slide paper underneath the sport of flash that they have on
top of this peeling stick. We're going to put it all back together. I'm going to caulk the side,
then we're going to do the scratch in the brown coat with luminite,
meaning I don't have to wait the 48 hours between the two coats. Then I'm going to use a color coat
finish to match this finish. I cannot match it with regular Portland cement; no buddy can
because the grit is too uniform. Hence, if you try to match it with important, it just won't work.
Anyway, when I get to that stage of, say, the brown coat, when I'm applying the color coat,
I'll show you how we do the texture because that's somewhat interesting. I'll take it to the other
side, and I'll show you some work that we did. I don't think it was four or five years ago. Still,
the idea is to see if you can see the texture where it blends into the middle of the wall
because what we did all right dead center we did we took it up two stories sells its shows you the
difference between the transitions feathering into existing which is the point I want to make today.
Okay, guys, where we're at now is finish the lap and again, notice how Larry broke out he broke
out left me, uh he left me six inches well four inches of paper four inches of wire I'm able to
put back all his same wire, of course, we apply a tube of caulking around the perimeter I'm using
the water hose now because this ledge here is full of dust and what I do is I just use this you want
to get all the jumps off I'm not going to cover this window. Still, you guys try this. Of course,
it covers it. I'm gonna move it move this just in case when I put it up here if it's a little soupy
intense full, but anything that gets on here polyurethane frames they wipe off very clean.
I'm going to cover the ground now, and I'm gonna go ahead and start the cement work. I'll show
you that something like this doesn't take me very long because this is what I do for a living. Okay,
on the bottoms of these, I put a lot of luminite in my product because I'm going to be cleaning
this with water soon, and so this has got twice as much lumenite, I mean, I just put that on
already it's kind of hard the size now what we're going to do two other hours into this is after we
put our coat on here I float it I'm going to use a hard rubber float in a minute to the
hard rubber float we'll get rid of a lot of the grip then I come back up here about 15 minutes,
and I hit it again with clean water, and I keep doing this until there's no more grit.
Okay, guys, we're going to do the texture now. What I'm doing is I'm looking at the fellow's
pattern. We did this one right here. This pattern is right-handed; he went up and to the right,
so that's what I'm going to do. I looked around at some of the other sliders,
and some of them went sideways, and some went up here. I could see his pattern is upward; I
could also see another pattern underneath the skip trowel is; it looks smoother finished like this.
so I think sure my finish recruit my transition here is perfect then we just pull a little bit off
the hawk out of time no just like that we're going to let this set up just a little bit
now the other goes the sideways, so this particular
whoever did this one went sideways like that;
like yeah, when they got pushed towards the top of the window, how to get
All upward, I can see exactly how we keep our pattern in line without their pattern.
I start a little guarded, and I just feel that way when it's painted look. You say,
huh, the same pattern is the other fella gee yes, that's likely to see this patch like
that. Again I can take my little sideways and anyway I'm going to go ahead and finish this
then I'm going to show you with complete now we're going to walk around the other side I'm
going to show you a painted area so you can see the transition and how well it should be done.
Okay, guys, we are complete with this particular window but not done with the video. I'm going to
walk you around to the other side to show you what I was complaining about earlier this one here;
fortunately, the Sun is coming over here, so we wouldn't be able to see it properly anyhow a few
more minutes just right hopefully when we get on the other side the shade is there so I can
show you the transitions, okay guys here's the wall I was explaining we took it all the way to
the gable we went found up to here all the way down, and we went about eight inches on this
side all the way down we did this about four or five years ago but what I wanted to point
out was it's a very very complex texture to tie in because it's a skip trowel Spanish lace-like.
So when it's painted, it should look like this where now I know patches the
owners may be able to see it but having a party, they shouldn't say a scene you
new windows placed in there any way this is Kirk with Kirk giordano plastering,
we thank for watching thank you, Jason, for doing the video see you guys on the next one.
