howdy folks Kirk and Jayson here with kirk Giordano plastering today I'll show you how
to do this chimney I don't know if Jay can zoom in this has a skip trial finish and if you look
at the house it has a brand new float finish it's a to coach system and they use the sponge float
sponge to give it a sand finish that's a better word for homeowners because people say what's
a float finish that's where you float it and you bring out the aggregate it's a sand finish
around the house done by some really experts they're really good oh if you look at that sign
that was uh we don't video everything we do but they called me back here to do this chimney I'm
going to show you guys how to do this chimney or show you how we do it just in case you have
a Mitch match finish and you want to correct it now notice on this chimney they have it's a skip
child finish so what what that does is somebody put a finish and they skipped it now it's 90
years ago now I'm gonna show you how we put our a sand finish over a skip child finish I'm gonna
use this scoop and by the way Jays gonna show you guys how to make scoops with a bucket here
you can make these all day long if you know how that's one of my questions we get a lot on videos
hey where do you buy those scoops well just show you how to make them we're on a job one time and
we needed three of them so it took them no time to make three anyway what I'm doing guys is I'm
applying the this is what we call a finished coat now what's the finished car well that's that's a
bag ninety four pound bag of finished product that way like like the bottom when we did the bottom
it was just sand and cement now I could use sand and cement for this too but it's a lot faster and
Saves us a bit of time saves them a bit of time. It looks prettier as very uniform,
so what I'm gonna do here is I'm filling in all the voids now. If you guys know what a skip trial
finishes, it has details, so those details of the Skip have got to be filled in. Okay,
move out of my own way. That's that I'll show you how we bring the aggregate out
to was aggregate guys fancy name from the sand all right cut up working on its edge
here a note I take this finish stucco out of the bucket with that scoop there walk around
so don't kill myself up here slide down let's see I don't want to be in my own way so I will
start at the bottom here and I'm gonna take it up to try not to lose my balance and fall
that's very important guys it's it's nice to show you how to do thing it's even nice and not to fall
all right there's that and there's death and I'm gonna switch from my favorite Congo trial to this
little bitty guy here alright this little square trial is actually what the majority folks use but
I like I like to get it done so I I generally is my twenty inch trial alright this little
guy here doing a job I notice I'm putting it on a little fat because I have to float this and
again floating or sand finish same same finish alright let me get this one more hoc full that
should work alright you guys ever do this never stand on paper we got the paper right here so we
don't get it all over the roof however you can't stand on the paper you could but it'll slide and
the paper slides guess what so do you ah we're gonna continue taking it around a little detail
here what once this is done the float is easy alright it's a good idea to you guys if you're
gonna try this bring yourself up a water hose I got a water hose right next to me and this
finish material it's a little a little soupy but nothing okay can't handle all right you
got that on there we finished this finish the edge finish underneath you folks watching this
doesn't this doesn't look high at all in fact to me it doesn't look high but the roof is slippery
because it's the first thing in the morning and roofs tend to be a bit slippery especially when
they're wet alright let me finish up with a little bit of detail I got going on here
alright that's done the top detail beautiful that's done and let me see what the heck we
got under here next I'll show you how to bring the aggregate out because they want it to match
the bottom ass and finish well you hear anybody say hey I want to upload finish you know it's
basically a sand finish and we call it a float finish because we use a float to create it all
right it doesn't have to be pretty because I am gonna run a float over it one last little
piece down here that the camera won't even show but I see it so got to do it alright
taking leftover mud put it in the bucket and of course I already did the other two sides
now this float is how we create a sand finish I take the float put it in a bucket of clean
water tap it out tap out all that exists existing water because you don't want to
dripping all over the place get your balance and now we floated and that just means you
run the float over it lightly okay run it over lightly if you do it just right you know what
you're doing it gives the same appearance as below so generally what I like to do is start
from the top work your way down come sideways sideways get that underneath pull it this way
boom simple as that any excess scrape it off now again I'm just lightly taking this float and going
over it because we want to fill the area where the Skip Chow is but we also want the aggregate
to match absolutely I'm in my own way oops okay I'm out of my way I was I forget sometimes that
I'm standing in front especially when I'm up high and I think if I fall and it'll hurt okay
guys so now we're gonna get that and this is gonna be painted too so because it's gonna be
painted we're not worried about the color now lastly two guys a finish coat comes in three
textures it comes in fine which I wouldn't be able to do this if I had to fine and it comes
in medium medium would not give me this coarse texture and the bottom is a two coat finish so
we brought the aggregate out on the bottom with just regular stucco regular stucco mixes Portland
cement mix with sand so fix this up here and we just run the float on everything guys just you can
close your eyes and just run that float but never close your eyes when you're working this high up
alright so we'll finish this off here boom make that pretty make the sides pretty here and then
I have blue my brother send me up water hose to clean the roof because unless you have a tarp a
cloth tarp guys plastic up here if you step on plastic and you're on a roof that plastic will
slide and we're using paper so that's even you got to watch that stuff don't step on it the only time
you can step on the roof when it's covered is if you have a cloth tarp so there it is guys and what
I'm gonna do now is clean up this roof with that water hose you'll see and what you do is you just
if you see any D holidays holidays just mistake cleaning it up I'm hitting all this little stuff
here cuz I can see it hope I didn't block my own progress here from the camera but I can't do this
from the other side it's too steep anyhow that's how you match sand a rough sand finish with the
right material this is a La Habra it's called 16 2016 20 just means how thick the stand is or ivory
