California spent billions to fight homelessness.
Homelessness rises in the UK as rents skyrocket.
Is homelessness worse in California or Florida? California.
For those of you wondering why stucco is bulging at the bottom of the wall.
Rainwater can be trapped inside the walls. The water can expand the wood, causing the stucco to bulge or buckle and then separate.
Folks, Mesh stucco vents can also lead to the rotting of underlying wood sheathing and structural members like studs.
We use advanced stucco that can be applied 6 inches thick if you know how to and why. Most don't. Vents are one of the simplest and most common sources of rainwater intrusion, so next time you see just the mesh ones on the southwest side of your home, consider the louver ones.
I leave you with two videos that show how we apply coat after coat of fast-setting stucco, one three inches thick and the other 6 inches thick.
• Go-Devil Plastering by... Stucco thickness, how thick can you apply it?
• Foundation repairs on ... Stucco is applied thick fix a concrete foundation.
I'd rather plaster any day than watch boring politics.
Hey man, sometimes when you're installing vents, it gives you the need to vent yourself... I've been applying stucco/EIFS for 38 years, but I always manage to learn something from your videos.. Keep 'em coming..... Regards
Howdy Steve, sometimes when you're installing vents, it gives you the need to vent yourself. Man, I sho-nuff like your style, sooo true.👨🏻🏫
Great job. I like the talks. Something about doing work while talking about issues that makes it more interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it! I do tend to ramble when doing the easy stuff about what I run into sometimes, I'm Just venting and doing stucco, literally.🕺🏼
Seeing you work on your knees kills me just watching!. My knees are toast from skiing, tile work, flooring, stonework etc.
Howdy Rainmaker, I was were pads at least for awhile.👨🏼🎨
Kirk, you are awesome, brother!
I appreciate that!👨🏻🏫
Top job Kirk, I hear ya about the homelessness issue, same over here 🇮🇪👍
Hey Colmart, you mean in the UK, it's a similar issue with folks out of work?🤔
@@StuccoPlastering hey Kirk, in Ireland lots of homeless people sleeping rough all over the city, lost of work but housing is very expensive and severe shortage of it
@@colmart1973 Wow, I had a hunch this might be worldwide, but was just wondering. I don't know much about Ireland, but when I visited there about 30 years ago, I remember it was really cold. Man that sucks homeless, freezing, and no doubt hungry, that gives a heavy heart to me. 🤔
@@colmart1973 check out your man, Dr Rory Hearne; helping to "Make Ireland Green Again". But seriously, I really hope something happens to ease the situation. More people unhoused even than during the Great Hunger!!?? Serious and sad.

wow good job Kirk, I am inspired to try it now. You make it look so easy , I wonder if I can do it too...
I did the easy part, Jason did the difficult part of breaking out. We both applied the stucco.🕵🏼
Thanks for the info.
No worries!👨🏻🏫
Thank you Kirk for the knowledge thank you Jay for your house surgery.
Good morning my friend, Jay does use that roto-hammer like a surgeon. He's also a solid plasterer, that does most of the work. Fortunately, there's a lot of harmony when were all on the job.👨🏻🔬
love it!@@StuccoPlastering
Don't forget to collect the 10% from the Big guy.
I'm watching and taking notes from your videos. I have a few spots on a 50 year old place that's been patched a time or two.
I can't do it blind folded, well I could but I'd like a better job than the last guy. If you know what I mean.
What's the best stucco compound a person can get non trade for a DIY?
Hi Art, if your wondering the correct method of how and what to apply as far as stucco is concerned, type in our channel, "how to apply stucco," many videos will magically appear to help educate and perhaps guide you through the process. However it does take a ton of practice.👨🏻🔬
Thanks, Kurt awesome information. Incredible skills. At some point, it would be nice to see how you are mixing the stucco that is an art as well
Morning Bob, type that question in, and about ten video's out of the thousands Jason, my son and plasterer has filmed should magically appear, to explain that also.👨🏫
the homeless made a cemetery there a few weeks ago. Left home depot two months ago some lady was chasing a guy with bat and 18 inch kitchen knife. home depot was playing music really loud to see if it would get them away.
Well, it was working the music kept me away, It was like, watching, "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" without the humor. th-cam.com/video/Pc0_Xnvl3t4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sIu6HN1gRozdxJU9/ 👮🏼♂
Hi,Thank you, I have been watching your videos, there are a few spots that need to be stuccoed, on my house, long story short I am 64 yo widow,, I did the repair myself, I have to say I did pretty good, and I enjoyed doing it , go figure,, again. Thank you😊
Exzackory, this is what I feel after every job, it's always labor of love, and I get a small workout from it too. What a country.👨🏻🔬
This is so helpful ♡♡♡♡♡♡thank you
Morning Kain, you're welcome!🥂
Kirk I've been learning a lot from you guys, started my own company about 2 years ago and using the techniques I learned just from watching. You're the man, no Westside Building Materials in PA but between a few different places I get what I need, thanks Kirk and Jason🙌
That is awesome! Keep it up.
I just removed a bunch of stucco, about 18' from the mud sill, with a little angle grinder (so I could install a weep screed). Worked well. I used a dust mask, but next time, I'll put on my respirator. I have learned so much from your videos! Thank you!
We have a growing homelessness problem here, too, in a town of about 10,000 in southern NM. One solution: we need more housing! There are no rentals left! (Too many Airbnbs?) There are folks ready to work, but they can't find a place to live!
Howdy Jennifer, the need for more housing seems to be the norm, then when built, the lowest cost of the smallest condo or apartment starts at 700, 000 thousand. Thus one step forward then two back. And no, I don't have a solution, as I'm just talking about what I noticed the day I had to go buy Louver vents at a hardware store. Dammit Jim, I'm a stucco dude, not an economist. th-cam.com/video/MULMbqQ9LJ8/w-d-xo.html/ a stucco dude, not a scientist.
beautiful !🥰
Thank you!!
I love your videos and venting while possessing vents 😂 it's a crazy world we're in right now.
Good morning my friend, at this time indeed it's difficult for too many people. And here we live in a so-called land of milk and honey. At the risk of sounding like a wuss, this guys words ring true. th-cam.com/video/fBI9i3HlFVE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CBxqantD518PYdOF/👨🏻🔬
Very true!!!
Thank you. Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season to you and yours.
Yes i'm still keeping an eye on you Kirk and Jason
We do have to be monitored.🕵🏼
Well done, all the way around.
Good morning Michael, thank you, we had fun on this repair.👨🏫
Thank you Sir I’ve learned a lot from you through the years . I plan to do my house in a rough old world look hopefully next year . I like to do it over 2 layers of 40 lb black tar paper , 3/8 cement board , screwed 8” on center , mesh tape the joints and then the entire surface meshed and mortar . Lastly apply the rough texture or skip trowel old world affect . What do i use for the thick finish ? Any help greatly appreciated . God bless you and your family .
Good morning my friend, type in, "how to lath," as your preferred method explained is not the correct way. In fact I'll help you out with some lathing videos, Cheers.th-cam.com/video/MPKX9A5rPkk/w-d-xo.html/ Install Stucco lath quickly.

Great video, I learn so much from you & Jason's videos, I like this kinda work. I kinda want to make it a specialty of mine. But I can see, still so much still to learn!
You're on the right path to learning.
that is right .theres no weep the wall takes water in has no where to go .so it cracks to let it out.he didnt get paper under the paper.prob was no paper rotted out .so he really didnt fix anything....
1 of the best . live on
Thank you, brother.👨🏫
thanks to Kirk I started wearing a white shirt to work, it turns out to be very comfortable and pleasant to work in. Kirk has gained some weight
Morning Nic, I've been wearing long sleeve white shirts to work for close to 40 years, Why? The Lye that's in the stucco burns your skin, Lye will eat a hole in a floor, our skin isn't that strong. I had a car battery explode in my face about 35 years ago, It was Friday night, I was dressed up to go party, I quickly used water to clean my face of the battery acid, then got my ass back in the car using another battery and headed to the party. The next day my shirt and pants were shredded full of rips and holes created by the battery acid. It's the same thing with stucco.🕺🏽
Kirk ... would love to hear you explain oakland and california policy and politics as well as crime and what you have lived and seen in your lifetime
Howdy James, I grew up in Oakland in the so-called poor area. How poor? We lived in a home between an acid plating factory, bars, and gas stations. Anyway, I find Oakland a lot safer these days, even with the homeless. Many of the high rents are out forcing good folks out most people out on the streets.
Kirk, cover whatever you feel like I come to learn both plaster and life.
Cool beans, daddieo. I do tend to ramble about lifes adventures.👨🏻🔬
I love your videos and family Kirk ! With a house that is 100 years old and stucco,I need them...videos,that is 😂
Howdy Jim, you can depend on us for sound advice.
looks like the cement is poured up to the weep thus the ventilation or lack of makes the wall expand and contract or moisture being trapped could contribute to the stucco cracks,just my opinion
Exzackory, there were multiple things going on that contributed to this bucking, all in all, the wood was still in excellent condition. We just relieved the stress. Wood expands when wet, over the years it gradually pushed against the stucco.🕵🏼
Kirk after so many years of working stucco would you consider using a power float to make thing easier?
It’s not smoothing the wall that’s physically hard. It’s the mixing, getting the stuff on the wall and cleaning the tools. Over and over. Every day for 40 years.
A stucco pump would help for bigger jobs.
Howdy, I've never heard of a power float? Could you be referring to a plaster pump?🕵🏼
Exzackory.
The old northern and southern California raised foundation homes have moved, settled, expanded, and contracted and were often built on inadequate concrete foundations and slabs. Those old rim joists have dried out, buckled, cupped outward, and were poorly nailed with moisture over the many years often literally rotting out and rusting out many of the non-galvanized 16d nails that hold the rim joists to the floor joists. Also, the sill plates are held to the concrete foundations they sit on with inadequately spaced bolting that only properly updating and spatially retrofit/bolting the foundation to the rim joists and tieing the separation of foundation to rim joists to lock it all together to minimize future movement and avoid the continuing straight hairline stucco crack that will likely return.
Also, the separation of wood sill to foundation needs a weep screed "break" establishing separation from sill to foundation along with proper overlapping of above old black paper with new below paper with proper overlapping and solid attached lath-nailing/stapling of stucco. And stucco just should never be connected stucco-to-foundation. No amount of "concrete glue" or bonding agent connecting wall stud lathed moving stucco to solid unmoving concrete foundation as cracking will like recur as the old wood framed-stucco lathed house continues to move, expands, contract, settle, or suffers even occasionally mild or more aggressive seismic activity in the future.
Howdy Torchup Dude, you know your advanced carpentry, so I'll just say, Exzackory.👨🏻🔬
@@StuccoPlastering 40 yrs. in residential building with 30 of those years in Southern Ca. remodels/repairs, etc and I thank you sir. Your years of time putting into your channel and videos, and your abundance of expertise are an absolute favorite here along with your humor and skills, good sir.😇
Kirk, roughly how many stucco finish styles would you guess there are? Generally, I mean.
First time hearing of “Spanish Lace”.
My old neighborhood was 1920’s and 30’s vintage - I’ve seen quite a few stucco places
Howdy Daniel, I'd say about 30 different color finishes, and hundreds if not thousands of two coat old world charm textures and finishes. Remember, an applicator can apply whatever texture they want on their home, then add some strange and weird texture that come from folks who haven't a clue of what their doing.
Thus, endless finishes. We try to match all as close as possible.👨🏻🔬
the stucco you applied for the skip trowel seems to be a finer aggregate? was it a santa barbera stucco?
Hi Matt, no, it was a 20/30 sand, it's what was applied originally.👨🏻🔬
My customer had a plumber come out and di some repair work fir a burst pipe under the hose and they cut right through the mud sil, the rim joist and chunked out the foundation for a clean out. And they're supposed to be licensed. Thei were knuckle heads is what they were . At least the break out was clean from joist to joist.
Hey Guard Duck Dude, they are nothing new, no doubt were in debt, needed the dough, and did what they thought was right. Or did in fact had a clue, but lacked morals or integrity.🤔
To me, the solution is clear. If everyone would treat everyone like a class 1 chiller, be patient, watch your videos, we’d be alright.
Morning Super Clean one, your clean mind thinks accurately.👨🏼🎨
You were in California. A day ago ....if I saw you I'd probably be starstruck ...no joke
Howdy Kains, too sweet, but I am millions like me are just another face in the crowd that happens do do the work others despise.😉
Hi Kirk, This is Susan. I have a question. I got my 88 year old house restuccoed in 2021. I noticed in 2022 a circle near the bottom that has puckered. Now the area has gotten bigger and has puckered to protrude and made a hole. if grass is water or rain near that area it goes up under the stuccuo at least 2 feet. the part that is protruding and has a hole is the color coat or top coat. I have called the guy who did the stucco for over a year. I have sent him pictures. He just says okay and ignores me. If its okay with you can I send you a picture so you can see what it looks like and tell me what you think.
Hi Susan, that sounds like a recent mosquito bite I had from a skeeter on steroids. Sure, send me a Picture, at kirkgiordano@gmail.com, this email address is in the description of all our videos. 👨🏻🔬
I'm in similar situation however the stucco is buckling at the very top of houses stucco walls...70 year house ...had a mouse problem in attic ...I just removed all flex duct and replaced it....then i removed all filthy insulation ...alll 1116 sq ft home myself.(.I don't know how I'm alive )H ahah but anyway now it's time to repair the buckling stucco at the top (if I'm in the attic I can see the sun come in around areas around house....I also found a piece of cement trim? That has been broken off from somewhere..I don't know what it belongs to ..and I'm wondering if it is some sort of guide/retainer/molding/jtrim/weep screed or something that would be needed at the top of a house who's walls consist of chicken wire netting a and stucco ? I there a need to put something at the very top of the repair ....if it were at the bottom of the wall it would be a weep screed I think ..and I was wondering if there was anything needed at the top of wall ?
Good Morning Kains, If you can snap some pictures and send to me both from the interior and some of the exterior, I may be able to help/answer some of your questions, with just the wording I'd be guessing. My email link is in all of our videos, Best wishes,👨🏫
Can I just attach those screens and use foam mouldings to trim it out and chaulk the edges?
Excellent question, not this vent, however, they do make face plates that will work to help keep the rain out of out and off your wood. You will need machine screws to drill them in and then caulk around the edges, they are really frail or weak compared to the metal vents were installing here but will work. 👨🏻🔬
How do you handle height? That’s something I contemplate with hiring painters and stucco folks.
Height as in tall stuff like working off ladders or high scaffolds. I love it as it adds some fun to our job. 🏋🏽♂
slam it ! 😄
That's the plan!👨🏻🔬
god hears your prayer for the homeless and i think prayer is important. we used to have poor farms where people could stay and take care of farm animals and harvest. in an urban area maybe a poor factory?
That sounds like a plan, any plan is better than none.👨🏻🏫
its drugs and untreated mental health problems. some is people just dont want to pay outrageous prices for rent
I think the correct thinking is, that one can't afford to pay the cost of outrageous rent. Thus liquor stores on every block to help those poor souls, kill the pain with inexpensive alcohol, this cycle repeats daily until it repeats in decades into generations, Like in Harlem for example, a vicious cycle. That being said does ole, Kirk have a solution? No, I'm just a stucco
dude, father, and husband.👨🏫
@@StuccoPlastering I appreciate you sharing your experience and occasional reflections, even if they appear political ( I think Affordable Housing isn't political, any more than, affordable health care, or clean air/water is ) so, thanks for all that.
Hope we can all stay healthy and productive in 2024
Evening, Kirk sorry for bothering you, I understand you are busy, in order for your trowel to be produced, Marshalltown has email you, would you be willing to email them back please?
I believe they will start the process.
Absolutely, I have not received the email or perhaps it traveled to my spam, if so, apologies. I will check now, thank you for the tip. kirkgiordano@gmail.com 👨🏻🔬
They have mentioned they are waiting for a reply
Howdy, I'm waiting on their email. Perhaps it went into my spam, if so, apologies, thanks for the heads up, I'll check my spam now. Cheers.👨🏫

Hey Kirk our boy Amos had some stuff to say about the homeless in chapter 5:
12For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
13Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
Lol Kirk he say no talking at all😂
Howdy Chorgzent, my best pal is also a minister and stucco dude. Thus I hear this from time to time. Cheers👨🏫
@StuccoPlastering much love my friend
As you eluded to, people are quick to vote for a solution, not wanting to spend time enough to understand the problem.
So how about step 1 - Dedicate so much to that, and reserve some for the next steps.
Howdy Parallax Dude, you seem more able than yours truly to come up with a solution. I salute you for this. I'm just a Stucco Dude trying to make sense in a senseless world. 🕵🏼
@@StuccoPlastering I can find ways, but I cannot fix wills.
@@ParallaxiMaxime Howdy brother, I hear you, I can't seem to fix or enjoy plumbing problems either, we all have our talents. I hire plumbers, personally. 🕵🏼
you know it's bad in California when you have Kirk bring up the homeless problem. It's a Gavin Newsom problem like when he said in 2004 he'd solve SF's homeless problem lol
The homeless and stealing problem is mighty bad almost everywhere, it’s a sad thing to witness.
Biggest problem in arizona is cheap poorly applied materials ,one coat stucco materials are overloaded with sand , not water cured, and painted within a couple days after finish thousands of homes with very poor quality stucco
I have heard this before, in fact I had several conversations with folks who had this problem.👨🏫
This old red haired mofo is the real deal. My favorite channel on the you tubes.
Howdy Vernon Dude, man, I like your style.👨🏻🔬
Kurt it won't go away in california they are making to much money off of it
It’s sad, I see it but don’t have a solution.
I'm with you. It's hard to have calloused hands and aching joints from work and see our government cater to the lowest common denominator
Hello Martin, now that's a fact. I realize it's an unjust world, but also try keep a positive mental attitude about the filth going on that's not within my ability to change, thus I change my thoughts towards it.😉
@StuccoPlastering I'm still with you on that. We have the one life so may as well try to find more to smile about when we can

Union days! 😂
The worlds problems can be fixed rather quickly if everyone plays a instrument 🎺 🥁 🎶
Unfortunately people need to be able to play through unwanted noise🎤🔫
I agree, if they don't play an instrument, all should try walking in another persons shoes for a month. Then they might know what's it like.th-cam.com/video/qA1nGPM9yHA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fLgXLWvloIWd7PAV/🤔
Man can’t fix this, there’s a million and one programs for the homeless but they don’t work. Takes the supernatural power of the blood of Jesus to set the captive free.
Morning John, The solution is out of my hands, that's a fact, I'm a husband, father, and laborer, far from an economist. 👨🏻🔬
*Kirk I want to marry your daughter 💕*
LOL, that means you're a normal male, beauty and brains are highly sought after.
You can't throw money at a problem like homelessness because it boils down to personal, individual decisions by people, and the mental illness of others. More money just attracts more wolves that will prey on the situation to make themselves rich.
Homelessness has turned into an industry some call the Homeless Industrial Complex. Today, we have more "Homeless Outreach" Non-Governmental Organizations(NGO's) than ever, and yet, there is record-number homeless on American streets.
Meanwhile, the CEO's of those NGO's make millions of dollars a year in salary,(And they have the nerve to call it "non profit", yeah right. If you believe that, I got a bridge to Asgard to sell you.) It's in their best interest to have as many homeless as possible, to keep big money rolling in.
We need more mental care facilities - you, know, like the ones that were closed down over the last 3 or 4 decades - and we need less regulations on small business so that people that don't want to work for "The Man" can have their own small business without Big Brother Government taxing them and regulating them to oblivion.
To boot, we have to try to stop hard drugs from hitting the streets. Weed may be ok, but, fentanyl isn't. It ruins lives like nothing we've ever seen, even worse than heroin and crack combined IMO.
Stop funding the NGO's whose workforce and managers make a living exploiting the Homeless Problem, make it easier for The People to have their own small business, stop hard - ruinous - drugs from hitting the street, and the problem will lessen, but never fully disappear.
Good morning Frankie, sounds like you have some time in with this level of thinking. Leave it to the powers that be, to do what they did to the prison system and capitalize on it. Best wishes,👨🏻🔬
Hey, Kirk. Yeah, they're wolves in sheep's clothing. Always pretending to do us favors while they smile and throw us - and future generations - under the bus. Well, thanks for allowing me to "vent" my frustrations. See you on the next one. Be well.
More money, LOTS MORE; but spent for and by the people it's supposed to be for, and not the ones in charge of handing it out.
Kirk for Governor ! but if you just give Nancy more time, it will all get fixed from the top. 😋
mayor of oakland?
Good morning Jere, my family and I are way too honest to get into politics.👨🏻🔬
LOL, there should be some rules to be even a city counsel meber let alone, mayor, governor or a president of a country. Like for a starters if you can't manage a business, thus have to file, bankruptcy, how in the world are you going to manage a country? Things that make you go hmmmmm.🙅🏼♂️
i was just saying for it would be easier than govenor,i understand politics is cap,both sides.Much peace to you and your family@@StuccoPlastering
Close the border, come to USA legally; stop the flow, for a start.
My whole house is stucco, also. Thanks for the good info.
Happy new year.
Need to stop sending money to Ukraine. That’s a start
That kind of stuff is way out of my league, I'm just a stucco dude, father and husband. Then they might know what's it like.th-cam.com/video/qA1nGPM9yHA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fLgXLWvloIWd7PAV/🤔
