hi guys Kirk giordano plastering, today what we're going to do is something really unusual
is probably going to take me 50-60 hours I'll try to compress it into ten minutes at the most
I met my wife's parents house here they have a property kind of like Disneyland where got
waterfalls beaches fish ponds you name it they have this really cool we'll show you a little
bit about it what they've had is this mountain here they've been trying to get me to plaster it
for years I've got a picture of my house where a job we did and it looks like huge stones like
this stones that would be on a pyramid and they often comment about how cool that is I told my
did it out of plaster so what I'm going to do is do the same finish here I've tried every excuse
in the book to get away from it meaning we're in the middle of winter it's going to crack because
of all the rocks and everything and to do this particular finish I need common plaster it's
hard enough to put it on a straight wall let alone all these gibbets and mountains and valleys after
I wire it well I guess they've been watching a lot of my videos because they said well you
could use that machine you have it's actually a mortar sprayer so I finally gave it and thought
okay I'll do it if I'm going to do it I'm going to put in a lot of designs of what I would do it's my
own place meaning today we're going to wire it and we're going to try the wire I've got a few hundred
of these little piece of the rebar which after it's all wired we're going to pound into here
at specific angles to hold it all we are actually going to put a groove in here we're going to bend
the wire down here because it catches a lot of water this is a whole mountain and plus they have
a goldmine here with leak the water travels here goes up it washes this out so I'm going to put my
wire and bend it here and give it a little Valley to for the water we're going to take it all the
way over there to where those white rocks are and of course I'm going to show those white rocks I'm
going to wire around them and they're going to be into the finish these are these stones right
here we're going to incorporate these into the finish they want to meet up they come down it
must be kidding me well incorporate them we'll tie our wire inside it I'll come this way if you
can catch this all but wife is actually doing the filming it gets real loud over here because
it's a waterfall so I'm gonna scream a little bit we're going to take the wire around to here I've
just been digging this out right here because we want to make it so the wire comes here you have
that water going off we're going to go right to that mine I'll show you something over here
which got me into this mess again with here's our wire so you can get that and use all those rolls
Oh
I told you it looks like Disneyland here over here.
fathers will get this waterfall, and it's cool
now
right in the Sun look back this is what got us into this to begin with this particular fish
pond we did you did the fish pond here this used to just be a hole and so I built this up come pop
jump it up they bought the flagstone I went ahead and installed it I put all these heavy guys here
all the time and of course the waterfall starts at the very top over there it comes down into this
one maybe you got to step up this way and travels that way there goes into the small pond and then
goes into the creek where it belongs this is all with stucco I used a common plastic common is very
very hard but it's incredibly difficult to spread it but it's good for this kind of where you need
some structural strength anyway we're going to go ahead and wire that up and when I'm completely
done I'm going to show you that particular finish because it is really cool I got to do
it I'm Monica got it enjoy all right guys I'm not going to show you three solid days of attaching
wire because it's boring it's for the crap out of you anyhow I will share is what we're doing we're
taking this we'll hire and we're pushing it in the back of the retaining wall rock we're cutting out
a lot of these rocks here because I want them for looks as we come around here by the way
we do stuff like this you've got to know how to improvise you can't improvise in the wrong trail
I'm taking this a slope here so that the water will go down and I have to have the wire tied in
we don't tie this wire in then we'll have traps probably going to get some cracks in II would
even use in the comments man hey baby Otto's my wife Jackie her parents house she's helping even
if it wasn't she like to help anyhow over here a good incorporate these rocks we're gonna cut them
out and that way when all the all the work is done you'll see these rocks here they look pretty cool
too white rock so that's where we're going with this when we get ready to do the cement work in
the final finish that's what I really want to show you guys so we get to that bridge will show you
now you guys see my hired help right here I've been helping put all these clips in
all right, guys, now this little square
They've got a huge hole right here because we're doing this. This works well for straw bale houses
or projects made of mesh-like animals the castles you spray them with this if it's a messy job's all
the unusual contours it's a real dragon we can't honk acabas, so I'm using these right here water
sprayer comm is where you get these guys when my wife comes she wants to use a 2 so she gets a few
minutes on this where we're starting right here we're going all the way around we're just starting
to cement work about half an hour ago we're going to be here another 8 hours then 8 tomorrow,
so I'm not going to bore you with the whole thing. Still, you get the idea of how these things work.
a big difference between this and a hand hopper sprays of texture finish might as well show you
guys this spray is a textured finish and hopping this braid a mud-based finish scratching a brown
so huge difference with them, and also you do need a big compress have used it a little n blow or
The wolf won't run it. You need a big wheelbarrow
type to push out the amount of psi to operate this guy here one more time.
Boat after coat after coat, this is a dirty job too. By the time I'm done, this is my clean
shirt. By the time I'm done, it will be garbage. There's my wife, Jackie. She just had to have a
go at it. Notice she's wearing one of my good white shirts. What's up with that? Come on baby
we've done a few routes together we do a lot of tile floors you name it was done in she always
helps me so she just wanted to give it a shot I'd show you guys anybody can do this you don't have
to do it for the bed good morning folks it is about 6:30 in the morning bit cold up here I'd
say it's about 35 degrees I can see my breath I know it's cold this is what we've done yesterday
take you away from the mixer kind of loud we put a trough in here also we're incorporating quite
a few things here we want to do a finish we want to save the mountain so it can stops continuing
to fall and we want a a water trough to go all the way around this may be 200 feet they got a
covert pipe under here that is what we're going to do today this is just the first coat today
I'm hoping to finish the entire job show you this is a mother-in-law unit this right here
if I could zoom in a little bit better is there gorgeous home fortunately it was stucco when
they bought it I did however do a lot of coins and styrofoam molds reminds me of a project my
son and I went to and I said how come there's so many outlets and they responded with oh my
son-in-law is an electrician I looked at my mile and son and we we thought hmm okay anyhow this is
what we're where we're at today hopefully we're going to finish this and do a completion hi guys
um there's a change in plans instead of my cool blocks which we're going to be 4 foot by 4 foot
they now think that'll look a bit too naughty and it won't match what they have to so they
approached me last night at all I got bad news we don't want that finish who wants to - I thought
great please - finish is way easy to do the blocks I was going to use a level on straight
walls but synthesis has radiances in and out I was going to I have I rented up a laser which
the laser spins and it hits them out and what I was going to do is follow that with this but
I'll give you an idea of what we were I was going to place some lines they like right here
these were going to be block lines that I was going to
there
I was actually going with this one for concrete because I wanted deep lines I have a different
one for plaster so if it was if it was four foot block it would look kind of cool with
this with the deeper lines but anyway that's what we were going to do but that's all changed
now we're going to go with a simple - which doesn't break my heart it saves me a lot a
lot of time and I can return that rented laser level so give you an idea what we're going to
do now change of plans what we're doing guys is close everything around these rocks I got
a hand trowel it in and then we're floating it in yeah there's more than just my wife and
I doing this my son Jason's helping us and see you other guys this is way too large a project
is missing two of us no way but no way for just the two of us do it but it's kind of fun this
is this is prior to doing the - and then I'm going to hook up a little mortar sprayer and
shoot it out cool all right guys this is the last part we're going to show you because this
is the final texture now we've already done two coats everywhere else plus the texture
we're finishing up here I'm doing the high stuff Jackie good low stuff and when she gets tired.
like yeah, this is called Welton -
oh, you're dead
Get out another okay, guys Rijal have landed on the pyramid block walls,
but that idea that strap looks more natural. This way, many tools are involved when you
do something like this, but you definitely have the know-how to come along at all. If
you could catch all of this stuff, watch the water hose. Don't step
on that another it straight to face. We incorporated all the retainer Rock here.
Thank you
And come on down here, we're burning daylight. I don't even know if this will show up. It's getting
so dark here that's fit to show how we are we incorporated all this white rock in there got
it alright guys my name is Kirk this is my wife Jackie, and this is her parent's house we all
got together and did this little project took us about three days. Hence, it's quite happy with it,
and hopefully, this runoff of the trough work just nice and goes into a little hole pipe in the
ground there, and the Coburg roof lives pretty functional in it that's a job my name is Kirk,
I'm with kirk giordano plastering, they keep folks for watching, we'll see you guys at the next one.
