    Now, I have to admit I don't do any type of home repairs, but this guy is like the guru of Home Repairs. Remember that somethings come with Experience in order to achieve a great analytic mind he seems rather humble. Sharing knowledge is its own reward.

      Good morning Jason Mohammed, thank you, 
       I try not to be influenced by goofy idea's from contractors or homeowners that might compromise the longevity of our projects.
      In the long run, I am responsible for any materials I choose or systems I install.
      Best wishes,

    Great advice, Kirk.
    Now I'm going to try to figure out how to retro-fit a louvered-vent over an existing open-mesh vent without breaking into the stucco and without making it look funky.  This is on the wall of my garage, and when the neighbor's gardener is using the leaf blower, a good share of the grass clippings come blowing through the vent.

      Good morning GSMSfromFV, I think every video I do, after Jason posts I watch and think, man, I should have added this or that, it's the drag of being a perfectionist.
      You can buy these louver top mount vents for what you now have and simply screw them on top of your current open mesh vents. (non louver vents)
       water can and will still seep in behind the top flange but the majority will be prevented from the wind blowing the rain on top of the mud sill.
       If your walls are painted just seal the top mount vent flange to the walls with polyurethane caulking and problem solved.
       best wishes,

      Evening Nate, glad you're learning stuff about the plastering trade.
       I'm no spring chicken either, plus,  If I do something I have to fix  if it fails in the future,
       It's happened before, that's how we learn, but hopefully my learning days are over.
       Best wishes and have a Fantastic New Year!

      yep, one of my sayings when I give folks advice on something in the construction industry,, : ""if I tell you it works or it is wrong, it is because I have screwed it up before and I can tell you for sure the right way"",, of course I dont think I actually use the word "screwed"

      anyway, I do enjoy these plastering vids. I been in the construction industry long long time, worked my up from a common labor to managing ENR top 100 construction companies, .  I have had bad and good stucco jobs one on a lot of large multifamily projects,, the bad ones,, well,, those subcontractors should have had some training from you. I know quality when I see it, and ya'll are quality.

      Hey Nate, dude, you have a tough job, with a ton of responsibilities or babysitting, if anything goes wrong you're the first to get yelled at, then on down the line.
       It's no joke management for construction is incredibly difficult at least sometimes, it's tough to get two people to agree on anything let alone 20 different subcontractors with 20 workers each.
       Hope youre paid well for absorbing all the stress, that last parts a joke as we both know there's usually little praise on a job well managed, but lots of finger pointing to, when a tiny piece of the puzzle is wrong.
       Cheers, and have a Fantastic New Year! I'm sure you earned it!

      Evening c3p0,
      Watch out for the clever answer of "well, the louvered don't allow enough air in" answer
      I asked a fella once why he used no louvered vent on a house on a hill where the wind could easily blow water through the vent and decay the mud sill?
      Without missing a beat he said "the louvered vents prevent the needed air where necessary."
      i was stunned for about a full minute, as this was interesting and passing the buck.
      Cheers,

      @Kirk Giordano plastering Inc.
      I was mostly kidding, I wouldnt tell a experienced professional and tradeseman like yourself and my contractor how to do their job..But it is entirely true the things you say!

      Kirk, you truly are an idol of mine. I truly admire your skillset and the fact you are willing to get out there and labor every day.
      In high school a few just a few years ago, I was considering pursuing a plastering apprenticeship through the union, and maybe starting my own firm doing archeticual stucco or pool plastering. I eventually decided to go a different route, but your videos helped me form a conclusion in deciding what I want to do with my life, which is something I'm always evaluating and adjusting. So I really thank you first hand for choosing to make these great videos and share your great skill set.

    Your videos have been immensely helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I'm replacing some metal exterior vents that are banged up and hoping to find a more substantial/decorative alternative to the typical steel louvered vent. Any recommendations on vendors or retailers? I'm striking out with a google search.

    Can bituthene flashing membrane be used instead of a good caulk, as long as proper shingle style layering is done with the paper, etc?
