Thank you all for watching, and have a wonderful and exciting day!
Perfect timing. I have this project right now. Great work brother!
Howdy Mac, cool that the timings are just right.
This guy knows his stuff. The float your boat part was funny. 😆
Morning Dave, the rules are do it right the first time, or do it right the second time but this time at our expanse. All can depend on us for sound advice.
Hello Kirk and Family 👍
Howdy Charles, hope your day goes as smoothly as a river flowing.
This one was very informative! A good demonstration with explanation and advice on tools and materials that can be used.
I knew some folks who built a new house. They were showing it to an older relative; without thinking, she stepped of a big catwalk in the attic and fell completely through a sheetrock ceiling. They had lots of furniture and antiques, but somehow she fell in an open area of the floor. Luckily, she didn't break any bones or have any major damage to herself.
The reason the electrician stuck his laig through the ceiling in the house you are working on is because Joyce got tired of being stepped on and knocked his foot off her. That would be my story anyway!
Good morning Daniel. Wow, I haven't heard of a complete person going through the ceiling; it sounds scary. I like your theory; I'd get tired of being walked on all day too. 😉
Enjoyable video Mr. Gazelle. Don’t fall through those “joistes”!
Howdy, man, I have no reason to be in anyone's attic. Thus no falling off the catwalk. 🕺
Kirk Giordano awesome plaster skills nice repair on this house keep these videos going...show these youngsters how it's done...💙💙💙
Morning Jeff, actually my sons are telling me how to do it. They forgot who trained them. Once they get those magical whiskers, they know it all. 👨🏻🔬
I Love this channel. It offers a wealth of information for the DIYers and the Professionals alike. Nothing replaces experience but this channel has saved me from some huge mistakes and inevitably has saved me a lot of time and money. I wish I had found them years before I did. Always informative and entertaining. Thank you Giordano Family!
Howdy Blackmon, thank you very much!🥳
Hi Fellows, I love your story and in the end your work is flawless 👏🏽👏🏽
Morning Roc Zilla, man, I sho-nuff like you're style, thank you. 😉
Hey Travisk5589 I bet you feel through the ceiling and Kirk fixed it...by the way what kirks doing is restoring a modern classic house these are hard repairs which takes talent...
Hi Jeff, kinda, sorta, but fun as long as I don't have to cover anything, that's what I got help for. I just enjoy plastering them.
The master is at it again, sharing that sweet knowledge
Howdy Johnathan, LOL; thanks, brother, that comment is too cool. 🥳
Hai Mr, Kirk, it's been long time.......glad you are health and happy after covid19.........keep up sir, and keep the plastering going..........Thank you
Morning my friend, Covid? Man, I Have a stucco wall in my lungs protecting me from other toxins, plus a no vacancy sign in there. 🍻
Sometimes 20 doesn't mean you get 20. Been a victim of that before, mix up a batch of 20 and get 5 or 8 minutes. I'm sure is happened to you. I'm not keen on the silo trowel either , too thin in width. Have a great one Kirk, great video.
Did you mix it with hot water?
Howdy Guard Duck Dude, oh yes, I've had 20-minute mud set in 5 minutes; that's bites. The result of mixing old mud or in dirty buckets, we just say, dang, throw it away and mix a new batch.
Hot water warm cool cold ... varies setup times
Great informative videos, Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it.😉
Kirk, thank you for all the educational video’s I have spent hours watching them all. You should get an award for longest contributor ever. I am working on patio that was bricked in and closed in. Had new windows installed this year and the company only finished the outside wall, the interior is the job I am going to attempt.I am too the point I put wire mesh over the wood above the new windows and wonder if I should over lap the mesh to the cement bricks and tapcon the mesh so it will not crack in future or just end the mesh at end of the wood?
Howdy Pat, you can coat the wood exactly like we did to this ceiling. Cheers.
Great content!!! TV quality show
Hola TL DUde, I like your style, thank you.🥳
Masterful.
Howdy Ryan, I wouldn't go that far but thank you.
Great video as always Captain Kirk and gang! Marshalltown doesn't make many products with plasterers in mind, at least in the local stores. But I wish they would make a "Boat Float" cause whenever I fancy I can float my boat.
Howdy William, LOL, both, make real sense. 👨🏻🔬
@@tedanderson463 Howdy Ted, American made costs a few bucks more but last longer, in my unbiased and humble opinion.
A few screws into the 2x4s through the existing plaster help secure it.
It was tight enough for us, thanks for the tip.
Long time viewer first time commenting... I'd love to see a detailed video on your preparation before and after stucco / plastering .. how do you peal the window tape without pulling the fresh stucco off.. tarps, plastic or tar paper best for ground cover?... how do you work around landscaping? Keep the videos coming .. great work!
HowdyMD, we have covered all these topics in our videos; where are they? An excellent question, floating around in our channel. 🍾
thank you sir
You're welcome, Simon. 😉
Have you ever tried 1/4 inch drywall instead of wire mesh . I have done it and it works for me. 1/4 inch brings the patch to much lesser fill . Sometimes I use 3/8 drywall depending on the plaster thickness.much like button board I do appreciate your videos thanks
Morning Rick, I've tried all known methods to man and then some. This way is the most effective and strongest known, thus used; best wishes, my friend. 💃🏻
24. He only said 'guys' 24 times in this video. I like to play the over/under game with Kirk's videos and today I set the number of times he says 'guys' at 20 and I picked the over. So, yay! I won!.
Give it a try. On a 15 minute video he'll say either guy or guys at least 20 times. Usually a lot more.
Get together with some friends and gamble, or better yet, make it a drinking game....guys.
LOL, Wicked Cool Dude, man, I'd play that game. Then after you drink, you'd have to shout, "thank you sir, may I have another"? 🍻💃
Hello Kirk,
The spatulas or trawlers ?? you cold them that you use are really big , here in Belgium I've never seen those , I've told you this before to you in the past , we do use scrapers in aluminum of 1 meter length/15 cm ( +- 3 feet/ 7 inch ) or sometimes also 2 meter length/15 cm (6 feet/7inch).The mud we first apply with trawlers of 30 cm by 15 cm and and we rub everything open. Finishing we do with the scraper slats.
My mouth always drops open when I see how you can work with these spatulas. I have been following you for a long time and now and then I take a look, I have been able to do repairs as well as new things thanks to your videos.
Greetings from Belgium /Europe. Alex ;)
Howdy Alex my fellow plasterer, I like the biggest hack and trowel made, personally. I say whatever trowel works for a person's comfort level than for them to use that. It's not a matter of speed but ease with me. If my hawk was any bigger it would interfere with my body when I hold it or I would have had a custom hawk made or would have built a bigger wooden one.
The trowel is 20 X 5 as I find it easier to use.
Dear Mr. Giordano. Do you plan on writing books for us and the next generation? You're the Larry Haun of plastering. Would be neat to have books from you.
Morning Jorge, I don't think so; these videos are my so-called books or memoirs. 😉
@StuccoPlastering Well, thank you very much. I've learned a lot from you.
@@Bigelite094 Our pleasure, best wishes.
Dubbing out in the UK Kirt.....don't forget the pilgrims lol
Howdy, Essex Hunter dude, how could we? 🕺
Like a boss. Always.
Thank you, brother, we do try. 💃🏻
Hello! Thank you for the incredible videos on all things plastering. I’m about to patch some holes I made in my lath and plaster walls in my 1909 Seattle home (removing knob and tube). Looking forward to the challenge.
I plan to use Structo-lite as a base coat and finish with Diamond veneer. Is there any reason I have to use metal lath? Is it okay if I simply put in wood lath backing and plaster onto that? Thank you!
Metal lath is stronger and available but when you try and reuse the wood it's often brittle and breaks plus full of old stucco which is dusty and we realize little sticks to dust, dirt, and grime. 👨🏻🔬
This is like watching David Copperfield
Howdy Leader of the Pack, Man, I like that, we do magic.💃
Hello Kirk. Love and watch your videos all the time. To get straight to my question. I have a backyard patio completely stuccoed to match home including the ceiling. Well during that heavy rain a few weeks back the ceiling started to leak. The leak was small then got bigger. About a 2’x4’ area from a small spot. I had roofers patch up the top of roof for possible leaks which seemed to work. It’s just this one area. Well now the wet spot does not seem to be going away. It’s not dripping water though. There is nothing in that area of the ceiling where pipes run for it still to be leaking. I had an industrial fan blowing on it on high for several days and NOTHING. It’s still there and has not went away or dried up. This has been there for a few weeks now. I need help or some guidance PLEASE. It’s an eye sore. This sucks because the project is just about done. ANY HELP would be appreciated.
Morning Joseph, man, that is too easy; drill a hole and allow the water to pour out. Your ceiling is sealed and holding water. After the rain has leaked out, caulk the hole.
@@StuccoPlastering Thank you for the swift response. Man you don’t understand how much of a relief that is to hear coming from YOU and your experience of how simple a fix it is. I will be taking care of this. Thanks Kirk. Keep up the excellent work with your videos.
Hey Joe, we had an apartment two-story wall 25 years ago; all the lower tenants had to move as the walls became soaked and molded.
I went out to inspect. I laid on my back to check the weep screeds; I drilled up into them the water poured out of this 50-foot-long wall for about 20 minutes. Someone sealed the stucco and the weep screeds holes a bit too well. Things that make you go hmmm. 😉
@@StuccoPlastering Haha, no way. Well I guess there can be such a thing as doing the job TOO GOOD. Haha. Just curious also, once drained and dried some would this leave a wet mark stain on the stucco itself or water ring where it has been sitting? And if so can that be fixed as well?
@@josephcalderon7164 Hi Joe, maybe if so, just wash it off. If the ceiling was wired, and the wire has been sitting in a pool of water, that wire may have rusted; if so, naturally, the hole will have the color of rust on the perimeter. A petty problem, my friend.
So you are saying 20 min joint compound is totally compatible with plaster in a repair ?
Howdy Joe, there are too many ways to distort that theory, not my place. ruclips.net/video/kr8jTcvJI4k/видео.html/ I'm a stucco dude, not a scientist. I'm showing how to repair a ceiling with a 20-minute joint compound.🥳
Great video as always guys keep it up
Cool beans, my friend.
Why not plaster for the patch?
Who says this is not plaster? 🤔
@@StuccoPlastering I shouldn't have to goggle and tell the expert the difference.
Is this gonna end up like the whole" mixing 2 bags of 20 minute mud together makes them kick off faster" debacle? We both know that wasn't true or correct. Just a recap, under that explanation, a teaspoon of 20 minute mud would take 3 years to kick off.
Victorian very nice....
Morning Carlos, thank you, my friend.
Thank you, Sir for all the knowledge.
What would be the best primer to use after ceiling repair?
Sherwin Williams, Bengerman Moore, Kelley Moore, etc. 👨🏻🔬
Hey Kirk great work, you ever do any ornamental plaster?
Howdy blake, I had my share of instead and exterior eyeball plastering.
Nice work , in these old wood lath Victorians, at the time they were built, was gypsum mud available? Or do you think they originally used lime and sand, with a bit of Portland? At some point did they redo the whole ceiling with skip trowel gypsum mud? Into the wood lath?Thanks!
Howdy Vjrad, most of these old wood lath and plaster homes built in the late 1800 and early 1900s used Structo-Lite lime base coats, then skimmed them with what was called white coating. That was pure lime putty.
When I first started in the late 1970s. Today that would be called Diamond or imperial lime finishes, made by USG, at least in my neck of the woods. In the UK, lime is as available as white on rice.🍻
@@StuccoPlastering Cool, thanks for your time and comment, I have lime putty made form from rocks too, quicklime putty, lime putty also added with just sand to do allot of new deal frescos, Diego Rivera at San Francisco art institute for example. I’ll look into structo lite and usg ingredients.
Howdy, I'm in Oakland across the bride from SF. San Fransisco is drag of a place to work because of parking and crowds but but the cash is good at these institutes that demand perfection. 🍻
@@StuccoPlastering I recently visited all around SF, I was thinking about what it takes to do even a simple job, gymnastics! you got trucks with sand, vertical roads with heavy truck ,brakes, parking, codes, equipment, scaffolding, etc, cramped conditions, traffic, weather… you name it, Must have to be very organized and professional. I think of the hills, small working spaces both interior exterior, I bet it’s sometimes best to keep it simple,, small buckets, ropes, pulley, working slow, small, little by little. Anyway, just rambling, thanks Kirk and again much respect.
The old "My Brother stepped through the ceiling" excuse.
Hey Travisk5589 I bet you feel through the ceiling and Kirk fixed it lol ...by the way what kirks doing is restoring a modern classic house these are hard repairs which takes talent...
LOL guys,
Captin Kirk, Brother I have a question not about this particular video. But anyways, Is morflexx, really good as a sealant for water intrusion in different cracks where there could be some flexing? I couldn't find the video where you went over adhesive, and sealants, so I thought I'd ask you here. thank you and Jay, for all yall do!
Howdy Marc, ruclips.net/video/2eIkdeIBbMs/видео.html/. Fixing large or structural large cracking on stucco walls. 💃
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Thank you sir, Its just small residential seems around the roof!
What price range does this type of work charge?
Too many factors are to be considered by individual repairs to answer this question. Sorry brother, one size doesn't fit all. 👨🏻🔬
Kirk, do you buy 5 inch trowels and round the corners or do they make that big trowel, I've never seen one on any of the web sites. I've seen swim pool trowels, but they're 4 inches. What brand of trowel is that?
Howdfriend, I bought mine at bontool.com
www.bontool.com/products-search?qs=swim+pool+trowel/.
It's selling for 81 dollars now; when I bought it they were at half that cost, hmm. Cheers.
The Trowel of Mine and why I chose it, ruclips.net/video/X_SRyTIVMbU/видео.html/.
I wonder with my system and I have a lot of pressure I seal my room. Right now I need to seal the ceiling with concrete or something strong. I see that hole that you use the chicken wire and I wonder if I had extreme pressure would I blow that out that would be the weak point. I don't have any windows in my system room so the pressure will be on whatever is the weakest and that would be my weak point. 162db would pop that on my head. lol

I'm working in a house built in 1884. We removed massive book shelves and the nailed in drywall is in bad shape. They have a boiler heating system in this gigantic old house. There are two pipes so hot with boiling water you cannot touch them but for a second. They touch the drywall and the lathe. How would you insulate these antique pipes. The 3/8 sheetrock split in-between them. What a mess.
Howdy Gypsy Dude; it sounds like you remove at least an inch around the pipes they are encased in and shove an insulated sleeve over these hot pipes. Heat gives off condensation. They do sell these polyurethane or rubber sleeves at all Home Depots stores. I used them to cover pipes in the snow, so the cold won't expand them and burt them. 👨🏻🔬
@@StuccoPlastering Hey thanks, Kirk.
They are called ceiling joists not rafters. Rafters are the roof. I use 5 minute fast setting compound
Howdy Anthony, thank you for the tip, now if I can only remember that stuff. I'm a stucco dude, not a builder. ruclips.net/video/MULMbqQ9LJ8/видео.html/ 👨🏻🔬
Kirk, probably are you standing on a (diner)-table, but it looks to me that you are working a few inches beyond your power. I know you can manage that, but am I right.👍 no offence !
Howdy Mr. Dutch. My sons set two 4-foot, A-frames up with a plank. Whether it is a foot below or above, I can handle the application. Was it perfect for this fix? No, but I do what I do anyway with improvising my skills kinda adds some excitement to the game. Doubtful the folks who own this home would have been happy if they saw me working off their eating table. 🍻
Cool beans.
Jesus saves.
Exzackory. 🧔♀
As an electrician I would open that ceiling with a chainsaw
Stick to electricity, leave the break out yo others.
That is the worst bit of plastering, I think I’ve ever seen 😅🤣
Jackpayne6892 your eye balls are cockeyed ...you can't even get board plaster anymore Kirk did a awesome repair job 😎💙💙💙
Morning Jack, now that's just jealousy talking. 🥳
