are you guys kirk and jason here with Kirk giordano Plastering can you see the difference
between these two screens this one is a call to technically a thirty number 36 this one
technically is the number seven and people call me almost weekly and they say Kirk I'm at the
material yard Home Depot Lowe's or any of the other yards I said I see weave screens but where
do I find the drip screens guess what guys it's a trick question these tech the technical name
if you went to a plaster inmature yard is this is a number 36 this one is a number seven okay
is number 36 is why because when I'm done with my stucco I can just take the trial and leave a
nice clean finish where the metal doesn't show if I use this particular one sometimes folks
will use this on a deck because you can just drop it straight on the deck and it still acts
as the same purpose but personally I prefer the number 36 we've been using it for over 30 years
and they work I want to point out something if you go and the material yard says well gee what
do you want and you say well I'm hurt it called a weep screed a drip screen a sill screed and SH
a screed which one is the right one they're all right it's called all of them FHA just I think
Federal Housing Association it's a law rule that came out around 1975 around 1980 we've really
started using them what happens if you don't have them nothing because before 1975 nobody had them
but what does happen is you take to suckle all the way to the ground now and if the stucco is on the
ground when you get five days let alone 35 days of rain what happened the rain lifts the ground
and when dryer conditions occur and they will it'll settle and then you'll get hairline cracks
like this you get the hairline cracks because of settling crack there are perfectly normal
guys they're just settling cracks lift settle so movement vibration to stucco is like kryptonite
to Superman so it it's not a big deal it's just hairline cracks it doesn't bother the integrity of
the waterproofing at all so I wanted to point that out because you guys have asked me that question
many many many times and again the main reason we use these is like say on a color code house and I
do one color code out of every 30 jobs where we do the scratch brown and the color the water the
moisture the rain seeps through will hit the paper and weep or drip out of these holes here but most
of the jobs we do are painted like here which then defeats the purpose of the hole because water is
not going to go through this particular finish and this has been painted many times plus I can
see a text code on it everywhere over the brick and everything so this is pretty watertight so
what is this use for now for me it's an expansion it's an expansion I put this on like say for this
wood right here okay these out three-inch flanges by the way guys if I'm gonna put this on the wood
like I did the rest of the whole house here I want to go one inch how do I go one inch I used my just
my thumbs or my indentations of my fingers here the first digit and I'll do it what I'll do is
I'll put it here and so I'm one inch below the mudsill and the plywood why do we want to be
below it because if we do have a color coat water hits of paper hits here drips out harmlessly it
never gets the mudsill wet so my main function is apply in these yeah it's code it's been code for
quite a while but it gives an expansion that's very very important also it gives me something
to stop at we got to have a stop point so not only is this called venting where the water vents out
but it's called an expansion joint - and and a stop point I thought I'd point that out because
a lot of you folks are saying gee gee whiz Kirk they're telling me they only have number sevens
or they only have the 36 guys this is a 36 that's the one prefer this is number seven
you could use either one they don't mean anything so they're both harmless guys they both work it's
just stick with the 36 and yeah they come in all kinds metal plastic polyurethane and zinc you name
it anyway guys hope that clears that up for you folks who want to know my name is Kirk Jason on
