Kirk brother Thank you so much for all the great content you’ve provided over the years . You’re a legend , Merry Christmas and Happy new year to your whole family 🎄🍾
Kirk, love all your videos! We have commented back and forth before about trucks in the past....consider keeping the pickup bed on that truck. I'm the 4th generation of electrician and my family taught me to never mix your personal and work vehicles as it will never be as efficient. Your f350 dual wheel is the epitome of a contractor truck. Besides capacity, saving on gas via less trips, time saving...it also strikes an image to people. It says "I get things done". I've had people admire my efficiency in my dual wheel service truck... when I open my cabinets and they see everything labeled and organized...they want some of that efficiency and success in their home. So unless you have to, keep that pickup the way it is, it has a classic contractor vibe and save up for another dual wheel service truck to make money with! God bless
41 years of tile. I like a long bed, low to the ground. I was rocking two 8 foot long Weatherguard toolboxes ($!500), 30 inches high, mounted up on the rim of the bed. You can stack full plywood sheets in the bed, strap 30 backer board vertical against the side of the toolbox, still have room for a mortar box, sand and tools, all with just an F150 (helper springs and load range D rear tires). The trick is to mount the boxes up on the sides of the bed without mounting down in the bed area at all. If you put 1 inch square steel into the post holes in the truckbed, weld some 1 1/2 inch angle iron around a 16 inch by 8 foot long platform welded to the steel posts, sitting up on the edge of the bed, just above the truck. The two sides are made sturdy by a front angle iron running under the rear window. This is all you need. Drill and bolt toolboxes to the platform, they float just above the truck body. You can stack crazy amounts of insulation and pine straw, the sides of the whole bed are like 5 feet tall and very tough. This way you can carry all your tools even the weird stuff, all the time and it's dry and secure and locked up tight. Plus you can carry anything XD
Hey Kirk, aren't you that plastering guy from TH-cam? Merry Christmas Giordano's! Thanks for all the tips over the years, they really help on all my projects.
@@StuccoPlastering exactly. Splashes up and collects between the inner fender and bedside where there's sound dampening foam and rusts out above the rear wheels. Picked up Mor-Flexx on your previous recommendation, worked great! 👍 They have it at Lowe's locally now.
Hello Kirk, thanks for the tutorial! I'm looking at options to fill my 1/8 and 1/4 inch stucco cracks. Can you explain why you like sikaflex instead of quad max or a GE silicone sealant? Appreciate all the help you can provide!
In this video, I'm using Morflexx, not Sikaflex, as Moreflexx has sand in it which matches most stucco finishes. In regards to when I use Sikaflex 1A, which is a polyurethane caulking that is also a sealant and adhesive. I use this sika when sealing or waterproofing, usually when we are lathing. Silicone caulking is often used to seal, aquariums like fish tanks, bathtubs and kitchen sinks, and other appliances in the kitchen.
I think Daco Campers shells,Truck and Van equipment might be able to help you out ,id talk to Roger or Hector, they are located in North Hills California
They sell this round foam in many sizes called "backer rod" I prefer to use Sikaflex polyurethane caulking as it's an adhesive sealant. That method lasts forever. where the backer rod has too many gaps in the rear of it. th-cam.com/video/2eIkdeIBbMs/w-d-xo.html/ Caulking cracks in stucco walls and chimneys.
Good morning Cool Beans, the cut at the tip depends on the crack, sometimes for tiny ones, I slice it close to the tip, at an angle. For large cracks, I cut it closer to the bottom so that a lot comes out or what's needed to fill a bigger crack. I don't want too much excess on the wall, but just in the crack. th-cam.com/video/2eIkdeIBbMs/w-d-xo.html/ Caulking cracks in stucco walls and chimneys

Good advice, thank you.

Indeed we are those guys, LOL, Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season to you and yours.
LOVE that truck. Those are all rusted out here in the Northeast 🫤
Rust from the salt they put down to keep the snow off the highways?

love this guy
Thank you my silent friend
Is that okay to use thicker paper (such as paper towel core) to substitute my finger to press the caulking down?
You can but it may shred a gloved hand is much better.
ty People always call a licensed Stucco Guy . Kirk I've seen that caulking before or one like it.
It is getting very popular, Its been out for at least 10 years.
Hey, Kirk. Do you ever work in the L.A. area? Would be great if you did.
Thanks for all the information you provide.
No L.A. is 8 hours away from us. You're welcome.
Thanks Kirk and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thank you Jim, happy new year to you and yours also.

Good evening KiansFlesh, thank you for the tip.

He’s mentioned sikaflex before

will you be in the midwest any time soon have one in the backyard chrome no rust just not sure of the size (Utility Box)
Howdy hope, Jay, will know the answer to this, thank you.
It’s about 61-63 might be 62 inches wide
Have it covered over some old wood horse stands but cover
Kirk!
Jay!!!
All it will look much better than white ..
What we did was a precursor to the upcoming paint job.
You don’t wanna open it a little more..?
Kirk's the man, I wouldn't question a thing he does when he can do it with eloquence and a bit of steeze
You’re right! He is the man 👌

@@StuccoPlastering I was joking 🙃 There's no punctuation when I write so it didn't come off as a joke I'm lucky I can write at all.
