hi guys Kirk and Jay here with Kirk giordano聽 plastering, today I'm going to show you something聽聽
[4]
about counter flashing what's a Z flashing well聽 that's right here see that it's a Z you got a聽聽
[13]
bottom drip and the face and where it comes up it聽 goes on a foundation like so generally I place a聽聽
[22]
weep screed here if the plywood is level with聽 the foundation over here we got some issues I聽聽
[30]
got here a little while ago that's - dude where's聽 your drip or Y or Z flashing so they went out they聽聽
[36]
went out and picked this up right here now one聽 of the things was we have an inch and a half聽聽
[40]
right here and some areas we have a an inch what聽 you want to do is first thing I what I was doing聽聽
[48]
while he was going to get this Z flashing here聽 for this protruding foundation its existing so聽聽
[54]
sometimes what you look at I'm just taking these聽 little clinkers off the top here why do we clean聽聽
[61]
the top so that this Z flashing will set as level聽 as possible then what we do is we'll take the Z聽聽
[69]
flashing here because we got to protect this mud聽 seal if I were to put on a drip screen directly on聽聽
[75]
top of this mud seal which we can do we'd have聽 to put at least seven tubes of a polyurethane聽聽
[81]
caulking here and seated in that that's not the聽 way we want to do it the way we want to do it聽聽
[86]
is we put a z-plasty knot and the areas where it聽 doesn't protrude out the full inch and a half no聽聽
[93]
worries I'll show you what I'm talking about聽 okay I'm gonna overlap our existing one here聽聽
[98]
now you guys see me doing this and you're using聽 a gun or some safety glasses okay just for the聽聽
[106]
sake of I'm gonna pop a staple there and I'll pop聽 one over here and lastly over here right by you聽聽
[114]
Jay boom okay now while we have this Z flashing聽 here what I was telling the homeowners is we've聽聽
[126]
got to come out to the furthest right here we're聽 inch-and-a-half right here we're about an inch聽聽
[131]
and over there we're even less but in other聽 areas that comes out inch and a half so why聽聽
[136]
do we go with Incheon and a half on everything聽 because now it looks uniform we're gonna place聽聽
[144]
a drip screen or weep screed directly on this I'm聽 going to get it in a minute and show you what I'm聽聽
[148]
talking about there's always going to be somebody聽 who says hey what do you mean with a drip screen聽聽
[152]
okay so now that we got this on it what we're聽 going to do is we're going to take our paper聽聽
[157]
which I temporarily tacked up here and come down聽 now we're going to cover that like so and then聽聽
[164]
that's how you watertight it but getting back to聽 this this piece here here's what I was telling聽聽
[173]
the homeowner because this is not perfect here聽 and if somebody steps on it what it's going to聽聽
[177]
do is going to bend so you take some caulking or聽 some big stretch or some sealing foam expanding聽聽
[184]
foam you spray it under here the next day you come聽 back take a knife a trowel a utility knife putty聽聽
[191]
knife and just cut it off and that gives us a lot聽 of stability here so if you step on it it won't聽聽
[196]
bend it I'm gonna grab a web screen real quick聽 all right guys what we do is I put a 45 here I聽聽
[203]
also cut this weep screed here it's a weap screen聽 or a drip you call it either way you take it I'm聽聽
[209]
going to go underneath these steps I'm going to聽 go on top of this Zee flashing do I really need聽聽
[217]
to use this not really but what if the inspector聽 doesn't know you can call me back on it and for聽聽
[224]
the 50 bucks it takes me for the metal I don't聽 want to come back a second time so what I'm doing聽聽
[229]
is I'm going to counter theirs and what I like聽 to do is just leave an eighth of an inch under聽聽
[234]
why because if you leave an eighth of an inch聽 under the water can drip out if I go flat on聽聽
[242]
top of here that's okay too but what we're doing聽 is a three coach system we're going to be doing聽聽
[250]
the scratch coat the brown coat and the color聽 coat now they're design once this is once that聽聽
[258]
metals on this paper covers this right here and聽 if you have something like I just just cut it out聽聽
[265]
on the bottom find your metal you cut it out then聽 wire goes on top of here this system here this is聽聽
[273]
a flashing system it's a Zee flashing where the聽 weeps Crete or a drip screen on top to counter聽聽
[279]
each other I give it a eighth of an inch so聽 water if it does go through this stucco drips out聽聽
[284]
harmlessly onto this the flashing and it doesn't聽 compromise the mud seal that's really important聽聽
[291]
