hi guys Kirk here with Kirk giordano plastering, today what I'm going to do is explain how we
correct this foundation a little bit more work involved than it looks number one I'm going to
pressure wash and I got three pressure washers this is my big one it's got three thousand psi
which means it's very powerful because all this dirt moss and crap like that I want it off our
plaster won't adhere to minis finishes that aren't perfectly clean jackhammer then get a jackhammer
all of this stuff off because their landscaping and they want this to go down clean we're going
all the way around the entire perimeter of the house so there's quite a bit here after
I jackhammer everything off then we got apply a bonding agent the Hudson sprayer right there I'm
going to put a gallon of well Treat in there and rather than brush all this I'm going to use the
Hudson sprayer just spray the bonding agent on then when we come to view the plaster you
might have noticed it's stucco here it's about one inch to six inches thick in some spots now
we're going to be using a product called rapid set no rapid said you went to their website there's a
fellow who's why this product and he's put it on six inches thick and coat after coat after
coat I've said before why would anybody want to go six inches thick well here's a perfect
example of why somebody would want to go six inches thick after we get this prepped properly
I'm going to apply coat after coat after coat we've filled it out in areas where need it then
I'm going to actually put a skip trial finish on it like this to match it so we're going to
I'm only going to highlight this one side right here because I'll bore the grab that you guys
the entire house and keep in mind too when you're going to do something like this this is not just
four or five buckets this is two bags of stucco which is equivalent hundred pound bags or ninety
four ten and I'm going to have to mix that stuff with six hundred pounds of sand so I've got my
big diesel truck here it's a utility truck and I got my brother with a mixer so just let you
know there's a little bit more involved than just trying to mix it in buckets need a mixer you need
the equipment and you need the ability to know how to do this and felon emailed me and said why are
you showing everybody the tricks of the trade what I do is highlight our skills this is what stuff of
contractors and plastering contractors this is what we do so I'm highlighting our work evidence
I don't I'm not doing this to show homeowner how to you can look at it but I know guys four or five
years who are in the trade simply can't do what we're about to do so don't be misled by hey I can
do like curtain we can't unless you've got time in anyway we're going to get started here I'm going
to get my pressure water come on start pressure washing all this and we're going to jackhammer it
and get busy what we get to do the cement work I'll show you that part to you because that's
somewhat interesting where you go coat after coat after coat and again even to do that particular
material you have to be certified and you have to know how to mix it my brother's been mixing
this stuff for years and expert so I'll show you that part too because it's kind of interesting
a dwelt creat that's a bonding agent without that bonding agent going on top of the foundation as
well as the house we'll have issues and plus we're spraying it underneath - okay guys I've
already applied couple bucks for a couple wheelbarrows actually here and there now
this product again it's so thick I like that fell on YouTube who works for the company he is going
code out to code after code what what I'm doing is the same I'm gonna go around the house about
four times and each time I go this stuff will set this stuff sets in like 15 20 minutes and
it gets hard as a PSI I think it's like 3000 psi it's almost as hard as concrete and it's
stuck so we're going code after code I'll show you when we get to Ontario where Marty it's just
a scratch coat right here basically all right guys I think we're on bag three what I'm doing
is I'm putting another coat this is fast well a couple coats here already and I'm just going
to keep doing this right here what I'm doing is I'm filling this top up and this is already set
that's up a little while ago but this stuff sets very foul that's why you got to be certified to
use it and they're helping guys who mix this up in a mixer take lunch they lose mix it because
the steps math and when it sets it's very very strong so I kind of enjoy doing this stuff here
that's a lot way to do it all right guy Jay and I are putting on a final coat we've got several
coats here this particular product again up for everybody generally cost anywhere between thirty
to forty dollars with tax per bag and you're on I think our third bag right now so kind of get what
skateboard we are going to get ready to blow this and when we're floating I'm going to be pulling
it upward then I'm going to texture it getting ready to go on the side over here I'll show you
the capture card - we fought complete with this video we'll take you to the front of the house
and tell you what there's no football okay guys what I've done here is I've pyramid these bottoms
meaning just like a pyramid so I can scrape this wall should cause oh my gosh we do that I'll
show you something you do my joint I'm gonna use this hard rubber float now the hard rubber plug
gets it gets the joint real well here that's not the completion either after we get to joy
sponge look here as I wet the sponge I'm gonna come upward like this and then I will be ready
to do my texture but I'm done with the texture Oh walk you around to the front and this side
the front was twice as bad as this okay guys we are almost done with this what I'm doing now just
put the texture on kind of look at what they have work and match it 100 different textures
somebody can do what they've got is going up work then we get our joint in two because there's has
been painted so many times and somewhat flat after I give my texture on now now I'm going
to drive it up that way on a paint get them pretty close in a lot of textures we've done
heavy lines like Taco Bell lightly vanish this one is in between let me run and I'll show you
what you've done all right I'm here got all this done Eddy the front I'll show you the last piece
Navin hey Brad hey Brad er concrete Brad getting ready to do the concrete he's getting ready to do
all the concrete around here we're just putting it up for Brad yeah that's good anyway this is Kirk
