hi, guys Kirk here with kirk giordano plastering, what we're going to do today is we had a casualty
here the tree fell and broke all the towel here and it also destroyed this wall I got up here
yesterday and I took a look at this wall on this wall has got a big hole here so i give
the homeowner many options what she could do she could hire a tile guy and he can come over here
however there's no wood left in this wall here to attach the tile I explained that we could put
a piece of flashing here one piece of sleeve but then you'll see the the towel going down here as
I was driving home I thought well what i can do is i can just put a piece of grace membrane over
here put some wire put some cement and give it a little arch and then it can be painted and that
way water won't set on it but this wall there's no repair in this wall by later when we get to
that stage we're going to go ahead and show you down in here there's nothing this whole wall is
supported only by stucco there is no good luck in this wall so and come to a conclusion that it's
best just to wire it again and put a slope on it and she realizes because I informed her there's
nothing left for this wall here also taught her you know it could be worse this could be a wall
that's connected to your living room or dining room and when it gets wet the water accumulates
and then your molds inside your house mushroom a little bit and they they get all that mold and
fungus this being an outside wall connected with this there's nothing left there's no wood so it's
it's deteriorated I thought it we can just do a temporary fix for a few hundred bucks tota what
she could also do is tear the whole thing off she's looking at anywhere between I don't know
with carpenters and hit guys fix it five six seven thousand dollars I give her all the options of
flashing tile guy said well Kirk gee whiz I want you to go ahead and stuck with just like you said
so that's what we're going to do all right guys number of ways to repair this one way is to put
a flashing cap on it another way is to get more tile and redo the tile another problem with the
tile is you cannot nail into this because there's no wood left and how do I know that because I can
see inside these holes here and the only thing holding this wall up is the actual stucco no
problem give her a number of scenarios which would what we can do you don't want to go with the power
guy or the flashing concept so what we're going to do is I'm going to clean all the stuff off I'm
just going to take it get rid of it and then we're going to put a piece of grace membrane
over this wire on top of that and put a little cap that way the water well will be diverted not that
the water is going to hurt this in it because it's it's pretty far gone so that's what we're
going to do we're going to get started I'm gonna probably take it up to about where this wire is
right about up to wear this this is right here alright guys we got all this stuff off now we're
going to go ahead and put the membrane on this I'm going to go ahead and clean this up I found
one piece that I was able to compromise with and shove it under here that way when you look at the
front of this it blends in of course my stuff is not going to be read it's going to be great
but I'm going to sick of flex polyurethane this guy in here and the transition I'll have just a
small hump you that's what we're going with just show you what we're at that stage okay guys we're
at the next stage I'll put a little bit of grace hair cut it off put this wire directly over yeah
there's nothing to tie into but that's okay I'll put another couple little concrete nails in here
and just going to be kind of for looks because there's no wood left in here but the concrete
nails in itself will hold it we're just gonna put a little arch here that way the water doesn't stay
up on here we're gonna be done all right guy now they got the grace membrane on top here and the
wire on that the grace is going under this time more of a band-aid what I'm doing because there's
no wood under here but it gives the best for longevity of what you can do here they're gonna
fix this at a later time when money allows and so what I'm doing now is I'm putting the cement
up here then I'm going to give it a little arch which I'll take me about 15 minutes at this stage
and remember this is not a permanent fix permanent fix would be to remove all this 3 wood it so then
I go that route so now i'm gonna go ahead and give this an arch and i'm going to fish that tile back
in i'm gonna pack it with cement we did find one good tile that we could use so we're gonna use
it right now guys all i'm doing is smote in the south now it's a lot better idea than putting
flashing where the fun goes down to here because this corner would be a wicked-looking corner
painted this here another coat of paint on it when they paint the house come out pretty good
we got various crafts throughout the house and they've asked me well gee how much to do the
rest of the cracks and so what I said is well you're looking at a few hundred bucks with this
I'll do the cracks for nothing because I can't guarantee any of it the roofs are they've seen
better days the parapet so we're just going to go ahead and call some of the cracks throughout
the house finish this up we're going to get out of here anyway my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk
giordano plastering, thank you folks for watching and as usual, we'll see you guys on the next.
