Hello folks, Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, what I want to show you guys today is this
just a roof Gable now this roof gable you look close it has quarter inch gaps up here some of
these are three-eighths it looks like looks like the wood laughs we used to stucco over in a key
in so another thing I want to point out is we are marking all my studs right here in case I
miss them later but what we're going to do with this little simple roof cable I've little I came
up here unfortunately it just happens to be the hottest time of day about 95 degrees but that's ok
we're working what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you how to put screens on and here I've got
about it we have a lot of overlapping so this is overlapped here here and this part is a half-inch
this is an inch and a half it's typical on roofs where we're a lot of these meet so let me show
you what I generally do now sometimes I'll use a template I'll put a template here give me an inch
and a half but I can't do it because everything is so off here so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
figure out a place to put put my screed let's see here okay this screed I generally go about whoa
I'm just eyeballing it now it looks about right we want to get it as even as we can pop a staple in
it then we're gonna knock this one out here to go into this corner here now this guy here we want to
give we want to go above the roof line about an inch so we are above it and I connect these two
corners up best as possible now this last one same deal I want to put this guy underneath there and
go over this one this gives housed some flex drip screed it's mandatory we've got to put a discreet
on there the next thing I'd recommend is because because we have such large gaps in here this is
old Woodham oh maybe eighteen year old home I'm gonna double paper this now I'm just gonna pay
for it up real quick I'm not looking at the nail holes because I know where they are I've already
marked the bottoms and because these fellows don't have their flashing here I'm gonna leave
it loose so when the roofers or when I when I get done I call the homeowner or the homeowners tell
them hey have your roofers come back and put their flashing up here that that's why I'll leave that
loose anyhow what I'm gonna do is do two layers it's gonna take me about 10 minutes so I don't
want to allow the whole thing and I'm gonna go underneath this piece actually [ __ ] I'm gonna
get my two layers up here then I'll show you how we do the wire okay guys two layers in the corner
one more layer over this because you know paper is cheap compared to say a wall leakin bad cheap
Okay, so cut this out over here not the first time I've double papered things. In fact,
I doubled the corner double paper all my corners. Anytime I come to a wall that is compromised
by big gaps like that, I always double paper compared to what a roll costs cheap insurance,
so okay. If your overlap in the drip screed, cut it off right there; you'll get this paper out my
way. Come over here, tack this stuff up - there are two layers right here - here okay I'm much
happier with that amount I cut my screen out here we go on take my hand notch it cut it right off.
I could throw this where I can put it on rather than just throw it in the garbage have to pick
it up and hurt to put it on. What I'll generally do is I'm working a wall or a house. At the end
of the day, I have a lot of rippers left little rippers and what I'll do is just kind of find a
place for them. Now, this beats throwing them away, so attack a couple on here and there.
Here we go; Rippers all over the place. I could put one solid piece
here and make a nice cut where I can use all my excess rippers,
so I'll choose to use all my excess rippers run out of staples you get to pull out.
don't mind the noise and banging of other trades. There are about oh five-six other trades here
working with us, including those roofers we need to get over here, but here we go. Hmm,
again, this is just my excess wire here. After I get all the wire, basically where I need it,
then I'm gonna come and take the gun and staple off everything. There's another type of gable;
okay, we'll get that in here this doesn't have to be pretty; guys,
I could line it all up, but why I'm just trying to clear out the rest of my wire.
this excess wire would be going in the dumpster anyhow so, or in my garage, which I hardly have
any space for anything, and as I said earlier, they still haven't got their flashing underneath
here, so I'm gonna leave that loose I don't want the guys to come back and say hey Kirk we couldn't
get our flashing under there all right so this Ripper here point I'm trying to make guys it
doesn't have to be pretty most times everything we do is beautiful, but it doesn't have to be
so now I'm gonna cut this at an angle here tuck it under here and again that flush and still got
to go there what I'll generally do is use my hammer tacker to get things where they need to
be then I've have my gun right here which I'm gonna pull out in a minute and seeing that I
ran a little short I'm gonna go down and pick up another piece all right guys Oh piece a couple
things I want to point out I get a lot of folks saying gee can you put staples in the field yes
you can here's the stud here the stud here's a stud here's a stud so in the field is considered
between the two studs so now that this is double papered and I got most of my wire where I want
it and again I'm just using the scrap wire wire that I have at the end of the day I'm
not gonna put any staples on top because again they didn't put their flashing up here but I
will fasten this because we don't know when we're coming back so again here's my first stud so I'm
gonna just stable off nothing in the first two inches up top here's my next one now I'll just
kind of look at it and go straight up and ins the field here where it's real loose I'll put
a few here and there here's my next step okay right here we're where everything is tied in
and it looks bad we're just go straight up stay away from the top no no flashing
here okay, stud here
thought I'd point that out because getting a lot of fellows saying hey gee these guys not
that well think they did a bad job there's a lot of ways to do this guys it's when we're doing big
walls were completely horizontal but it doesn't have to be on the gable it can go up at an angle
a little bit so keep that in mind and yeah the the wire is generally salford wire that means
that's a stucco bed and there we have it I mean that's that's a simple that's all you got to do
guys it's watertight the staples are inch and a quarter seven eighths of the leg should be
into the stud itself so we got all that done but the main thing I wanted to point out is all you
all your folks who say gee they put the wire on they didn't it's not extremely pretty or perfect
doesn't have to be guys because a lot of times at the end of the day I'll just use what I got
and just tack it on like that as long as it's all tied in you overlap two inches every which
way it won't crack anyhow pretty hot up here my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk giordano plastering
Thank you, folks, for watching how we laughed up a gable, as usual, we'll see you guys on the next one.
