good morning folks Kirk with Kirk giordano plastering, here my son Jason Giordano doing
the videotaping Susie's gonna videotape is gonna help me finish this what I want to show you guys
today is we're going to tied this wood frame into this concrete now what I did is I put a craft
paper first and bent it around so that what water goes through this it doesn't come out of the drip
screen here and rot the mudsill so there's paper behind that's then we're going to put paper on top
of it and of course we're going to tie all this in and waterproof these arches with the finish
we have here this is called a heavy - finish you throw it on there's a lot of room for error here
so that's my corners aren't exactly perfect right here for the artists won't really matter because
this - is gonna hide everything over here we have a resin treated board they no longer use this but
it's many many homes what folks always say how are you gonna tie that in this resin treated
wood here should have a paper in the back and then they play somebody treated wood there is
no paper or deteriorated so we put the mr. pot tie back underneath this and then we're gonna
go over it with paper - and we're just gonna wire right over that title and watch group at all stop
it we're gonna put a three point four mesh wire on there and fasten it with our guns every six
inches into the stud pretty simple you'll see us doing it all right and now these guys get a chance
to have some of the fun they're doing the cutout and we're gonna put the soffit mesh up against the
plywood of course on the arches we have soffit mesh - then the arch aid is going to come down
it's specifically engineered wire that bends it's very flexible straight corners here arch a you're
never gonna get these arches right by soffit mesh for these otherwise the stucco wanted here if you
use this 17 gauge on the soffit it simply will not adhere to these big holes here and a half
it's okay for the wall but not for underneath there's a soffit so Oh Gretchen and Bryan with
this heavy - we'll see you in a few minutes well guys we're doing a stop it now keep this in mind
when you're doing soffit yourself this is gonna be real rich if it's too sandy it's just gonna
keep falling down so our mix is only ten shovels in this plaster here that's way it's very rich
in as you can see it well in here well there's too much sand it's simply in here and this one
soften which should take me 45 minutes would end up taking me three four hours with holidays
everywhere and by the way we're using a rapid set cement this rapid set spring we do both coats the
same day with the rapid set we are going to we have a system once we scratch this we crisscross
it with the scratches then we're going to scratch everything else and come back and brown this out
with this rapid set scratch what I'm doing is on the ceiling I like to go a waffle we're going both
ways so it looks like a waffle on the walls of course you can just go horizontal one way it's
real important to prep what does brush does is while the cements still wet rush it like
so and any holiday rushing into the holiday I will tell them to follow this guy out right there just
squish it in with a job but the brush gets rid of the clean so up here up here that way we're
going to put the next coat you don't have a whole bunch of thinkers hanging out on the outside but
the - finish that's a real heavy - finish is very forgiving so even if we think of steak here and
there this is heavy finish the throne on finish just gonna cover everything for the same time
you wanna make all right we just have to stop it here and stop it's generally goes on a half inch
thick unless you're doing commercial profits board and keeps going it out notice our first
coat and drive pretty well and with the waffle scratch coat both weight lifted here is real up
that's what we go on all right guys now we're at the stage low spin it blowed it heavy the water on
here bring the aggregate out bring the aggregate out that way it's easier to get a beat now the
aggregate out now we're going to yeah Oh Jack brush you want to pick it in water then stick
it in the cement go right dad get a little bit off all your doing flicking it on just like that
very heavy - take me about two or three hours I'll be done ode after coat after coat alright
folks there you have it - finished complete what's important is they're gonna put bricks
on here to match the original where you had the wood just concrete it's all fed it in now,
but it's also done properly where it won't leak, and I tied it in well we put about five
coats of - on you just go over it the camera will show the original finish it's a very heavy - very
forgiving it just takes a lot of elbow grease you've got to go over it many many many many
times very forgiving so you can't really make a mistake, but if you have to do it properly to get
it like this well again folks that's for those of you want to do it but don't know how those of you
that say heck I don't want to learn how to do that call us, Kirk Giordano plastering my son
also worked with me Jason Giordano you doing videoing thank you guys you have a great day
