howdy folks Kirk and Jason Giordano here to show you how we tie these windows together we're in
Alameda we're doing a project for Larry Billman being in construction and give you his number
because I'll show you a window how they they broke it out and installed it for us and this is the
ideal way for anybody to put a window in for a guy like me to come in repaired Larry lives in Alameda
his total number is area code five ten six nine seven zero five four zero human construction he
and his son - a lot of work he used to do a lot of second-story additions but now I'll be with
the crappy economy and they're doing a lot of work with homeowners associations and they do quite a
bit I've been on this one building here for about six years every time a tenant moves out we come in
and Larry comes in actually before us and remodels it and does new windows so we've been here we've
done about 20 windows on this particular building we just never video didn't so we're gonna take you
up uptown here up the scaffold and I'll show you a perfect way of how somebody will install a brand
new window these guys on top of the line if you do do your window times like this makes it easy for
guys like me all right guys now we're up here I'm gonna show you who Larry's work what he did is he
broke it out him and his son do all their own work I broke it out he will come out real nice whatever
hammer chisel he used it was working because there's not very many rips in the paper here he
put his porter flash paper here he set his window on and he broke out real nice real nice break in
real nice break in here the wire actually we're gonna use the same wire I don't even need new
wire what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna counter his flashing although he has his fort of flash in
here oh really need you but I always like to make certain and what I'm gonna do now is I'm sliding
this flash in here I'm sliding it in and I fish it back and forth until it hits a nail or some
type of above obstacle tap it in here and then I'm going to put one more and I just keep doing this
all the way up including the top I go here I go back and forth when it hits an obstacle or a nail
I stopped okay now I get my joints here I use my finger first I'm putting my finger here making a
crease then I put the knife right there and of course please in a new blade I always put a new
blade for each job now I'm gonna fasten this back down right here and put some more staples in it
then it finally at the end I'm gonna staple this down we're gonna do the same thing when I come
to the bottom here I don't need another paper but for the sake of showing you I always tend to put
another one I'm gonna put another one under this and over down here and then I'm gonna call this
down here I'm gonna call the edges also when I get to see that top piece that electrical pipe
actually is kind of in my way a little bit but we can work it anyhow I'll show you when we start to
staple off - okay guys what I've done now is i papered everything on the bottom and the sides
and papered most of this top I'm saving just a little bit of paper to show you guys how to do
it okay taking my knife laying it flat on here going straight down and get a nice clean cut
and what I'll do now is step guy in half and I'm gonna slide this under the paper here and
go back and forth until hit hits and nails it'll hit a furry nail up there somewhere
okay no that's about as far as it's gonna go Larry got and then I cut that excess off.
notice there were a couple of blocks on the plank when I got here and I kicked him off
this morning thinking man those are in my way now I know why the wood blocks were here to
hold this electrical pipe up and here so we can work with that now what I'm gonna do is
staple all this off and a fella just said hey why don't you get you take the furry nails like
this use your hammer and calculon and I said yes you can do that but it's time-consuming or you
say for example I I put a furry nail here and I tap it in with the hammer I can do this but
for me because I own I own a gun and I got the compressor and all that stuff it's a lot faster
just to take your gun and if you're gonna use a gun put some glasses on I hit a Simpson Strong
Tie one time that staple bounced off hit me in the cheek just missed my eyes I thought I got
shot I had a hole in my face so always wear glasses anyhow see how that is now and the
wires salford meaning its third wire you don't need very nails but of course the people who
prefer nails the first time probably didn't use nails unless you don't own a gun the compressor
hoses total cost about 400 bucks I see a lot of people use for nails and that's why they still
sell them because it costs about 500 bucks to get it set up even with the sulfur wire the
next thing I'm gonna do after I put this back together is call market now just for the sake
of finishing this video I'll tell you what we'll do here I'm gonna finish stay put off this right
here staple off the top and that it's this seal right here right where the window meets here I'm
gonna use this whole tube and I'm gonna use that paper to the metal frame or to this plastic frame
not sure what kind of windows these are but we fuse it to here we all the way around the edges
and that folks is how you properly tie in a window anyhow my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk
Giordano plastering thank you folks for watching and as usual see you guys on the next one.
