Hello folks, Kirk and Jason here, with Kirk Giordano plastering,
today we're going to recolor this color cuddle the house is less than ten years old but yet
you can stick credit cards into the cracks my son and I came here yesterday when you put this
fiber mesh tape over the cracks then we put a cement just material on it so today we're gonna
hose it down saturate it with water and then apply another color code and well asked when
yesterday will the cracks come back possibly 2% possibilities no 100-ton house besides to move
no amount of fiber mesh tape is going to stop it the reason we have this cracking here is we're
locked in over here they have this brick the rock and the country so the scuffle has nowhere to go
because there's no expansion here that is why well that's one of the reasons why this house
this wall cracked the worst where you can stick credit cards in these crackers if you look over
here to we're on the mountain and that mountain saturates with water let alone three days let
alone a month no saturated water and it'll expand this house will move garbage trucks
going by wind will also affect the house with main crack this is locked in again locked in
here with the rock of the concrete something is going to crack more likely if there's one
inch rather than the four inch of the concrete I'll show you another thing as we come over here
the wall here is the same thing we're locked in therefore we have a lot of cracks as we go
over here we're setting up now this was going to color coat this we've got to cover all the
windows and cover everything we're locked in here too and we're locked in over there but
we were not locked in there's very few facts this is a drip screen a drip screen goes on top of the
mud seal and it acts has three things first of all gives us something to stop on our stucco - and it
gives the when the water goes through the color coat it weeps or drips out of the drip screen
but more importantly it acts as an expansion also so the rear wall is has a drip speed all the way
around we're not going to go there but I just pull our purposes to explanation the rear wall
here has a drip screen very few cracks but a lot of folks always ask me why is this wall real bad
and this wall over here is not bad it depends on how much you're locked in or not so we're going
to cover everything now said everything recolor coat this and that should last forever we will
get however 2% to 10% comeback in a matter of 10 years depending on the construction of the
house things like that it's engineering the to store isn't again however much water goes into
this mountain that is the amount was higher than the house and again when it gets wet
it saturates anyway that's this stage thank you this is called float finish run overall
final bit peanuts real little bit and bring in the windows real important you come to the
windows because it takes a minute to uncover them sure does take a lot of time just try
to clean looks do you have it and a lot of fiber mesh tape under the second color coat
will entry crack again it could a chance to know if it ever does it'll be like one
to two percent of whatever what all right thank you for listening and watching have a great day
you
