hello folks Kirk here with kirk giordano plastering, both my son Jason Giordano doing the
video and you can help me put this back together and my other son Danny what we're doing here is
he removed this air conditioning unit a year or two ago until it's been a while because that's
the a whole bunch of rats and skeleton bones down there anyway what I'm gonna do is I kind of put
some studs in here so what we're doing is we're getting a template and we're going to put them
every 16 inches and just build this up because it's too large and opening to stucco without
doing that the studs so that's what we're going to do right now I'm going to put maybe maybe four
studs in here and as soon as we're done with the stud work then I'll show you how to do the paper
wire I've shown you many times in other videos but because this studs just a bit different you'll see
it as we do it we'll get to that stage 15 minutes all right what he's doing there is putting the
last stud in we're still going to break out that right side it's kind of like sheetrock we want to
put our joint directly on the stud so here's our first stud here and then we stay every 16 inches
and we go to the next stud go ahead and do the breakout over there and then put the last stud
we'll sister it on there and we'll start the paper and water okay guys put this last bit of paper on
top of these studs here we've got a stud here here here I only have put in 5 sistered a couple onto
the remaining one we pulled out all the stuff of that was between here too because our new our new
wire is going to go over here and then down in here so it's best to remove all the stuff that
was on the foundation so we're getting there I'm going to put this last piece on we're gonna wire
it and then I'm going to show how we do the cement work and I'm going to be this is two
coats to coach the first coat I'm going to put luminite in the first couple buckets Illumina I
will set it depending on how much aluminide I put in the first coat is going to be a lot of alumina
and I want that to set quickly I wanted to set within 15 minutes hard as a rock the second coat
I will also add illuminate this is a small patch we're way up in the hills there is no need for me
to come twice here so when I get to that stage you'll see how we do it and this is not a three
coat process a lot of folks think I'm doing three coats it's two coats the second coat I will float
the second coat out to match this finish okay guys we're actually backtrack a little bit I'm stapling
all this off and I'll tell you what if you got something like this if you're not sure how to do
it you have an air conditioning unit or something right in your way better hire a professional I'm
making it look a lot easier than it actually is because I do this for a living I'm using my gun
in order to staple everything because I couldn't get a hammer in here and if I tried it was tough
enough just to break all this out of course with the gun you can really stay pull it off and the
compressor is going to go on any minute and sound pretty logical and drown me out but anyway you got
something like this hired somebody knows what they're doing because I'm gonna make it look a
lot easier than actually it and I'm doubling up my wire here because it's all studs so we
got a stud surface and takes a little bit more stucco but just a nature of the trim all right
guys we're gonna take lunch so I'm just putting a scratch coat on here let's call the scratcher
do your first coat you scratch it horizontally it gives them mechanical bond for the second coat so
we'll see you after we've finished lunch okay folks we're complete with this little project
here now it's a to coat system the texture is in the second coat so that's what I like to point
out this is the second coat and I take my sponge float and I just bring the aggregate out and bring
the sand out so that's what I did you just like that go upward motions upward you down and it's
a little too wet then the whole thing can fall out until it's fully solemn so there you have it
float finish where this old air conditioning system used to be thanks Jay we're doing the
video thanks Dan for helping too and we'll see you folks on the next one.
