hi, guys Kirk and Jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering,
today we are on the lagoon working at a place that I used to frequent in my younger days anyway we're
doing up a small patch over here this place here 25 years ago I had a buddy of mine used to live
live right across there on the lagoon we used to party over there all the time have a few beers get
yelled at by all the neighbors I'll show you what we're gonna do here guys they waterproofed it for
us it's just a newspaper anyway what we're gonna do is come on off of there we're gonna fix this
little shower repair notice this fella whoever did the plumbing man he's pretty good actually what
what'd he call what they did is they called me and says hey this shot me an email of this and said
what do you think and I said I'll we could put it back together I said of course we'll have to
break out and the guy called me and says well we generally leave the break out for you because you
guys know what you want to do yeah we know we want you to break it out anyway I got my little hammer
we're going what we're gonna do is we're gonna break this out on the stud here and break this
out and I got my handy dandy shovel because we're gonna put it here hold it and break out the sides
here because we are in the field it's a real drag to break out in the field anyway we're gonna get
started when I put this back together I'll show you how we match this finish here all right guys
now that that nasty stuff is done didn't have very much paper left but that's what happens sometimes
what we want to do is get on the stud we know every 16 inches of the stud so what I'll do is
I'll just squeeze a little bit of paper in here and you have a couple tacks here get the other
side stretch it as tight as you can sometimes even fold this side over the idea is you want to
be on studs and you want to stretch it tight that way you're not using a whole bunch of cement just
like old times over here somebody came out and said hey you know what time it is and I thought
yeah o'clock in the morning I said man we're still sleeping knock off the noise just like old times
when we used to get yelled at but back then we got yelled at for drinking over here anyway what we're
gonna do is Jay's gonna mix me up a little bit of cement hot mud I want some real hot mud I want to
be able I want five-minute mud meaning when he mix it up five minutes it's gonna set hard soon as we
get to that stage we'll show you that and here you overlap it you put your bottom piece overlap
the bottom overlap the sides and tuck under this as best you can when you got a wall that's been
leaking for a couple years usually the paper is pretty deteriorated but you do the best you can
with what you got guys is we come to the fun part now J mix me up some cement my hand didn't even
use a drill this is so small so what we're doing is I always like to give my perimeters first and
that white stuff there that's caulking generally you cough it the best you can you want to coffee
the edges first the top you don't need to coffee because the top is pushed underneath the existing
paper once you got your perimeter hit your bottom and depending on the temperature how cold it is or
like right now it's pretty early morning and we are in December it's cold so we've got a lot of
accelerators in here and we are also in the so called field so it's taken more mud then
usual more usual mutters about 7/8 of an inch dick right here we're about an inch and a half
so we get our get our field going and now we're gonna let this set about ten minutes
and I'll show you how we texture it all right guys that should be time enough now Jay and I
just had a little breakfast burrito they really needed about five minutes for that because he
put a lot of luminite in there that's what I'm talking about that's that's pretty hard
for say the death we had take a sponge float tap out some water and now just go over it and
what I'm doing here is I am feathering in the joint why feather in that joint because when I
texture it it'll look tighter and finish when it's painted and if it doesn't match when is
painted they're gonna call me up and say hey Kirk it doesn't match well so we got to make
sure we take all of the precautions now I've got some soupy mud would take this soupy mud no all
I need is a ball that much get the leaves and crap out of there this is look at their texture
okay now they're texture they're starting up and going like most right-handers do so now I'm just
gonna barely lay some of this off the stuff guys takes practice better to play with it a
few times we get this mud just about where you want it and just barely put it on guys
gently all a right couple more times get your little spots that I might miss now
you can see there's not as there's more knockdown than mine so the last thing I'm
gonna do is I'm gonna hold this real lightly guy just barely in my hand and just knock it
down a little bit more tiny bit more get my edges with this part get the center if
you see if you look at it and see something that's not right just put a little bit more,
but that looks pretty good to me anyway my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk Giordano plastering,
we thank you guys for watching and as usual Jason I'll see you on the next one
you
