hi guys Kirk here with Kirk giordano plastering, today what I'm gonna show you is some drips
screeds, I'll show you a little bit about half too but I want to show you the importance of
drips creatively why we use them drip screed will usually go on the foundation and what it
does is it protects the mugs like mud sills here these guys here when I first looked at this I
thought man he said it was a painting contractor I thought that's the best-built edition for painting
contractors I've ever seen you got the Z flashing here in the back of the plywood on top of the
mudsill I've never seen that anyway these guys are very very thorough so this trip screen see
where I have this one it's a half-inch below here that way we protect the mud so this one is gonna
go right here and it's been aligned directly with that one there and I just take my level and just
level it out say something on the roof - while we're on the topic of drip screens see up here
as well point this out because I do encounter this a lot over here this just the stucco buried this
one that's wrong what is it they make 10 20 30 50 year roots when this goes bad and they go to
change maps and break all the stuff along here well we're gonna do it we're gonna place a drip
screen on this roof about to code calls out anywhere between one to two inches so we're
gonna put it about it that way when they redo this roofing it's a brand new 30-year roof you
won't have to mess with the stucco last thing I want to point out for painting guys these guys are
good the paper here was lacking it wasn't all that great it was deteriorating they couldn't do much
with it I've seen walls work there's no wire left that alone paper so they did the best they could
and put a membrane all the way around the vertical edges on the other side here what we're gonna do
is we're gonna also underneath this membrane then I'm going to seal this up here with polyurethane
coffee it's about the best you can do what you have no paper to work with and I've encountered
this many many times again this guy painting contractor I thought and I was looking at his card
this morning I thought man he's a general also it says general contractor as well as painting
contractors his name is Eric grunts, we're in Alameda he's located in Alameda let me give you
this number because if you built an addition or something this guy is good okay his home phone is
area code 5 10 5 2 3- 8 108 if you feeling really bold and you want to call him on a cell that
numbers 510 also 3 8 5- 2 7 5 7. so this guy Eric he says he does it all this this is a real cut-up
little tiny addition but it built very thoroughly anyhow we're gonna get back to drip screening and
when I start to do some corners I'll show you a couple other key key things and laughing okay
guys real quick thing we got a box here we got their paper going down how it should go when I
put my screen here now I'm gonna cut their paper off and learn about a brand new blade and a knife
to please start you see this box I'll show you something what I'll do is I'll put this here
no I'll feel the box and I'll just go over the outline of the box I can feel it so I'm just gonna
cut the outline and just go by feel now this way it's one penetration and then I caulk around it.
now I'm running around this corner here this corner I dropped once and then it will double
rapid we always like to do that while I'm here this is a small wall but might as well mark the
walls because a stud because what I'm putting my wire on I'm gonna put staples in here good
to know where it is alright guys a lot of times - what I'll do is they have a stud here I'll mark
it because right here I've marked the concrete that way I know where my studs are what I did
is I put my paper underneath this I went to the very top of this silk that way we're not
just having this covering all the way up and here's my second piece I take this to the top
couple tacks hold it down I know from my marks on the ground where my studs are I've got it
done here right here but that really doesn't matter if I can go here - and then I'm gonna
cut my drip out you say what's a drip well when we put stucco on this house and we'll
come through these holes these are we pour drip holes now my next piece of paper these
guys are on the ball they put this detail here horrible and they put paper under it first which
is good you got to have some kind of flashing underneath so what I'm gonna do now is I took
my paper around so I'm gonna take this one and go to the window and I want to this guy here to
waste a little paper by doing this that's okay I don't mind wasting a little paper put a couple
there here take your pass pass window and I'm using this row as a guide so instead of getting
a weekly cut my blade out it's not exactly where I wanna do that now cut it out here
notice again on the ball here the last thing I'm going to do on this wall is I'm gonna tuck my
paper underneath this craft paper so what I'll do is I'll have my paper measure what I think
fine to go over a couple inches to the overlap use my role as a guide underneath now I've gone over
that single ply here I'm just gonna cut it out and then this gets caught we put a polyurethane
talking on the scene here and pretty much this procedure is what you do on almost every building
get that in the key here use your hand and get that key go we're all set to
after we do the entire wall like this we're sent to the wire and of course as I said earlier I've
got my guides my stuff that way to stun time you can always take this measure 16 inches and
that will give you your next entry because tons of places every 16 inches on center so
we're gonna go ahead get busy next time you see me will probably be showing you the drip screen
or the wire all right guys you're ready to do the wire generally I'm sucking bottom
look away from my way up so since I got this louder here I just been tapering it off the
ladder I'll show you the wire while I'm here it's all set up now unusually the city wants
to speed the wire horizontal anyhow normally this the city they like to see the wire going
horizontal but you see this factory X here as factory edge makes it nice to go up on to the
eave right there just like that so I put the 1 there and I'm gonna cut it out now
I can start this side and I'll show you what I'm referring to okay now that I've already
yes this wire is self-furred which means it brings these little furs right here where the intertwine
brings it out so the stucco embeds now all I have to do is just a little piece over the wall here
so I'm gonna go ahead and use the excess here that piece there okay guys I'm stapling off and
I marked everything compressor is probably gonna come on John me out but you'll get the idea what
I'm saying I just marked this here but I use this as a guide these guys are so thorough I
thought man I forgot to mark where my gable studs are and I looked at that, of course, they marked
it anyhow so I'm going straight up and where the wires crisscross you can put some staples in the
field such as watch how do you know if you missed this done it'll sound hollow instead of solid here
real solid in a stud here are in the field
anyhow you can place a few staples in the feel too so here's a stud here coming up and then
where the wires crisscross put one or two in the field to hold it down because you can't have the
wire pass and scratch a brown coat anyhow that's why arrangements take one off all right guys
got my drip screen in unlawful obligated to do things professionally I just use this one inch
as a template put it here put my drip screed directly on it last thing I'm going to show
you is course we're gonna compromise our key in order to waterproof we're going to apply a lot
of polyurethane caulking okay but let's just show you that corner there we'll be done with this okay
guys about done here J was kind enough to cut this so-called support out of here and it just this
corner fits right in there just like yeah so we're always gonna line the corner up with the bottom
two that way it's true and plumb so right here when my corner all these corners are over then
I just kind of eyeball make sure done right yes I could eyeball things because I've been doing this
those of you who haven't you're doing this a lot of years better use a hammer just right where you
wanted the last thing gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and coffee everything now like around these
outlets any intrusion we got a lot of wires on that other wall whole bunch we got a caulk around
everything so no water gets in there doors windows especially our tie-ins - anyhow my name is Kirk,
I am with Kirk Giordano plastering, Jason Giordano doing the film in he's also helped me do the
entire project incognito so we'll see you folks on the next one and as usual thank you for watching.
