howdy folks Kirk and Jay here with Kirk Giordano plastering today I want to go over a question that
the general contractor as well as the homeowner asked me it's a Kirk how do we do a transition
from stucco to wood and by the way guys if you guys have particular interest in anything
stucco we have 800 videos so we try to like say this one I just told you what the title
is I'm going to title it snorkel transition to wood and I'll show you what we prefer doing and
you guys could make up your own choice how you want to do it I'll give it the way that is code
and and by the way guys a transition should be say if you're going from stucco which is
the here stucco to wood which is this all going to be wood here it should be papered first like
say I told him the paper and he went way out of the box and papered everything he died victim he
Tyvek the whole wall so he made our transition quite easy you can see where the Z flashing is
the bottom portion is going to be stucco above is this pretty wood that's going to be put all
over here so that being said had this toy vaq not been here I would have took two layers of
paper and came here and then came to this point but we're already bullet proof for the say wood
here's what you can use guys you don't have to use a stucco stop a stucco stop is seven eighths
of an inch stick a weap screen this is a weap screen it comes out seven eighths of an inch so
stucco is seven eighths of an inch so what you want to do guys is you can put your your stucco
stop first and then we usually cover it with the paper but because he's got this metal here infused
in the paper I'm gonna show you a different way because I need my gun my hammer tacker will not
go through that metal my big gun will go through that metal now this is a laughing gun BW what you
do is you push this up and give a staple in it and by the way guys anytime you're using this big gun
put some glasses on cuz you can hit there's two pieces of steel here I don't want a staple to
come back and ricochet in my eye so this is what we do guys that's it then the wire can
go on top of that and the contractors say well can you leave that metal exposed I thought yes
you can that's that's a cool question because this is galvanized so galvanized can be exposed
to the weather but just in case somebody says well I don't want it exposed yellow piece of
paper actually you put it on before but again the guy has housing that's those steel straps
inside there if you really wanted to get fancy guys you can do this and cover it for me there's
no difference except if I go to scratch this this when you scratch over metal it takes a long time
to dry or when you brown over it when you scratch over the paper it absorbs right in and you can do
it instantly so I mean if you're if you really wanted to do that you can guys is it necessary
no and then what you'll do finally is you'll staple your last off usually we mark our studs
get your studs in there and you're ready to go guys this way when okay we got our 7/8
grounds that just means the even the gun is having a hard time going through that about
two metals so well we're done with the stucco she was coming all right when we're done with
the stucco it'll be out here a straight wall and they'll put their wood siding right next
to it that gives you a clean transition anyway guys my name is Kirk Jason under
