Is Construction Dust Harmful, it’s easier to wear Proper Protection
Howdy all you ambitious guys and gals, Jason”my Son” and I have another tip of the week for our fellow Hod Carriers, cement masons, plasters, stucco dudes and stucco gals as well as you homeowners who wish learn why Choosing a respirator is very important.
I have entered many homes where the husband and wife are in the middle of tearing out the inside plaster with small kids and babies, not knowing that while their working let alone when they sleep that they are subjecting themselves and their kids to some toxic crap through way of inhaling.
I have told many, “Tonight while you sleep, turn on a flashlight,” look into that beam of light, this stuff is going straight through your sinus and lodging in your sinus and lungs.
Not to scare, mind you, but to simply inform, as scaring the crap out of folks is not my style, instead I make suggestions our of common sincerity out of love for my fellow folks.
Be smart rent a room for your kids and even yourself or invest in proper respirator/dust masks and a vacuuming system as I have been beat up too many times to this invisible but deadly and bullying toxic crap. Old kirk say, “Be wise and stay alive.”
(while tearing the inside of your Plaster home apart)
We did this video just in case you young folks are not aware as I wasn’t, Construction dust can cause serious damage to your health.
There’s no disgrace in not knowing these facts, what is a crime however, is to be informed and not heed common sense advice, as we owe it to ourselves to keep own health up.
My son Jason witnessed me sick many times and connected the dots where I was too goofy to see I was poisoning myself much too often.
Not only will you stay healthy and alive but have the energy and ambition to watch our real how to repair video’s that explain how to fix or repair your biggest investment and source of pleasure, your home.
Old Kirk says, material knowledge is 70% of being a well rounded stucco guy,
The other 30% is application, but what good is either if your sick from inhaling construction dust?

Only "macho" idiots think that they're invincible and don't need to wear protective gear.
Not even Superman ever thought he was invincible, even a comic book character knows he has limitations.
Howdy Frankie Guerra, I had to learn the hard way, sometimes so sick it's difficult to understand why as the danged dust is inviable,
I think at this stage of my career dust is my kryptonite.

Hi Kirk..totally sense there my friend,trouble is common sense isnt that common.
I agree 100% with that,also eye protection.
As a decorator Im always scraping and sanding stuff,cant believe the idiots I see with no protection.
See ya on the next one!
Howdy Paintbrush dude, no doubt, I no longer mix or do tear off as it's kicked me arse for the last time, mask or no.
Cheers,

"doing that weird stuff in the shower" Haha but in all serious great words and advice here 🙂
Morning mac plastering, hey brother, It was awful the first time, did in fact hurt my ear blowing out excess water, but I felt like a new man the next day after close to 14 days of hell, but my ear did hurt a bit, never made that mistake again. I'd take a hurt ear as opposed to not having the energy or dire to get out of bed any day.
Cheers to odd solutions that help,

@Kirk & Jason Giordano's plastering & stucco tips haha for sure man 🙂
thanks for the info. lates
Hello dave daved, no worries,
Cheers,
kirk giordano Plastering
It's foolish to not wear a mask around dusty stuff…especially lead and asbestos!!! More great advice from a family who genuinely cares to give excellent advice. Much appreciate all you dudes work and videos!!!
Howdy Bee Friendly Apiary, thank you,
Best wishes with those hives,

This is by far the most informative channel regarding stucco and plaster. I was thinking if only you guys were in my area, I'd hire you to fix my potential future screw up. Then I went on your website and saw the 510 area code, you guys are in my area! You may be getting a call from me if I take on more than I can chew with my patio project.
Evening Furious Filipino, be careful how you talk because your unconscious is always listening, you say stuff like "fix my potential future screw up" your subconscious won't let you deceive this thought.
You CAN do it, especially with the instructions we provide, if not, i'm close by with some tips,
Cheers,
kirk giordano plastering
Great info, personal safety is a must. The nasal rinsing (or neti pots) can be helpful but the water used must be purified or else you may get a brain infection! Seriously…it's rare but check it out http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm316375.htm
Evening sognatore, without clicking on the link, I'd say we're hip to the toxins in the water, we have filters that remove chlorine and fluoride plus other toxic chemicals, than in our bath we add magnesium chloride ancient minerals, with red mill baking soda, and other salts such as himalayan and a few other minerals, got to stop there before folks think me crazy.
Dude, you've done some homework, good for you, great minds think alike while fools never differ.
Cheers and thanks for the tip,
Kirk giordano plastering
How about just using a neti pot, I find a neti pot with a little salt and baking soda, stops all sinus problems…
Stay healthy my friend.. Good tips, Great Summer.
Howdy Mr Mac Daddy, had to google neti pot, I prefer the shower or a bathtub myself when I am forced to waterboard myself, kidding as I can do this difficult and nasty stuff quite easily these days.
as far as baking soda I do have this daily, the red mill brand.
Of course we also have a filter on the bath to remove chlorine and fluoride, and me wife who is a bio chemist adds her magnesium, baking soda, and five other type of salts, if I have to resort to this procedure to flush the toxins from my sinuses.
cheers,
kirk giordano Plastering
For guys too macho to wear masks, in addition to the lye, lime, and asbestos mentioned in the video, think also of the tiny particulates of lead paint during plaster demo work. Long-term daily exposure to all of that can make for a lot of poisonous grit in the lungs over time.
Evening Chuck Finley, man, just reading that line made my eyes water and my nose run, as that's no joke.
as the lead like asbestos in your lungs, is like a sock in a dryer, holding on the sides forever.

I have to wear a mask when i'm peeling and chopping onions , For all you Johnny Rambo's out there prevention is better than cure . Yo Kirk looking good hope your not thinking of retiring any time soon .
Howdy jurassicbark dude,
What ever works, like the goofy sinus flush I mentioned, I thought that guy needed a straight jacket until I tried it.
Retirement not something I wish at this time I may be getting older but this trade still gives me much pleasure.
Cheers,
kirk giordano plastering
Cheers Kirk
hi kirk we learn from our mistakes and experience tells us other wise always use your personal protective equipment
howdy darren harlow, I agree, but don't alway follow common sense myself, as my perfectionist attitude mixes with my get it done attitude, I get excited and jump into repairs, too often without relaxing and considering the health consequences of protection.
Happy my sons and daughter's have a more stable and relaxed method of getting the repair completed safely for one's health.
cheers,
kirk giordano plastering
Personal protection equipment is important kinda funny because the owner of my company does not provide this as he is supposed too by Osha law, I ended up getting into a massive argument about this earlyer today with him specifically about breath masks he forgot how big of a deal it is because he has not been on the wall for decades
Morning jacob kindsvatter, I was never provided a dust mask when I worked for the at least 7 different plastering companies either, back in the day either,
As I was telling a fella earlier my research shows that the biggest bone in the human body the femur, when busted it repairs in 6 weeks.
Our bodies have the incredible capacity to heal quickly, sometimes it just needs a little help, like preventing dust from poisoning our sinuses and lungs and gloves from handling toxin, the list goes on, these common sense precautions are not so common.
Old kirk's been a victim too many times, therefore thought I would go a bit deeper into the subject from Jason's last video.
Cheers,
kirk giordano Plastering
Don't forget that whatever fraction of dust might get stuck in your sinuses, a lot more goes straight into your lungs. Not so easy to rinse those out in the shower.
Morning Earl Laamanen, amen, that's the stuff that reminds me of a lost sock in your dryer, holding onto the sides for dear life,
Difference is you pull that sock off, the lungs holding lead and other crap, takes a bit more efforts to rid,
cheers,
kirk giordano Plastering
Good info goes for guys that work in diesel repair places .. been there so you know what you talking about . Lye eats skins … cheers bro Peter
Morning Peter “Jdcap26” Agostini, thank you,
This nasty method is what I do, the first time I hurt my eardrum as I didn't realize blowing to get the water out was like diving deep underwater,
The hurt eardrum lasted about 4 hours, however, my suffering from sinus issues was gone.
I'd take this trade any day.
Don't try this horrible shit as it works for me but is awful and dangerous.

I do a similar process with the netti pot. it helps my allergies and good for dust control. I find it therapeutic watching all the crap come out of my nose. Oh and your video post are therapeutic as well. See yah on the next one!! Got it right this time.
Morning Wayne Frazier, a few folks have mentioned this method, must be popular.
I find the forced water from the shower or dunking my head in a tub while bathing a drag as is, a netti pot sounds like it would prolong this nasty method of cleaning one's sinuses.
When old man Norman explained his ancient technique to me, it seemed to take me forever the first time and was like self torture, but in a shower I can if I must get it done in a couple minutes, Don't try it as it sucks, literally.
I try and remember to wear real dust mask to prevent if I can,
Or if I'm working with Jason, he''ll say dad, stop, I'll go get the mask for you,
thanks for the tip.

Hi Kirk, here is some more stupid crap that works. Take a look you will enjoy it I promise.
The Gerson Miracle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj8JoJXP9dI
Howdy bmlsb69, I know all about the gersons and have done more coffee procedures than I will admit too,
However all my issues were cured or are being cured by my newest and bestest pal, author, John E. Sarno.
I was on a site two months ago ( jason and I were discussing Fibromyalgia and similar ills) when a fellow comes out and says what if I told you all your pains and issues are in your head?
I almost lost it with this guy,
Right before Jason and I were leaving this unknowing neighbor brings one of John's books out and simply says, if you have time read this, if you agree pass it along.
Best advice I received in 20 years,
The Amazing thing is a day prior I asked in a prayer for a solution to my thoughts, that prayer was answered the next day, I read that evening till the sun rose.

How about the skin
Howdy Genaro Rivera, as young plasters we learnt early on that hot water open's
the pours, a fat washcloth pulls out the toxins, then cold water to close and freeze your ass off, hey it works, been doing it fror years, it's habit now.
kirk giordano Plastering
Hi Kirk I found warm water with a little bit of salt in it stops the water burning your nose when you clean your sinus, also do you guys have lead in old paint ,that can be toxic .keep those masks on, another good video Cheers.
Hi John Rainbird interesting question, when my wife talks a bath she puts in Magnesium, himalayan sea salts, red mill baking soda and quite a few other minerals, she's a biochemist and very health conscious, when I'm in the tub with her, (yes it's a very large customs jet tub) i will do the sinus flush with the same water as it has all the minerals needed for this nasty way of clearing out the crap inhaled from my jobs, usually I wait till she's out 🙂
Cheers and good tip brother,

if ya think that flushing ur sinuses helped and made you feel better, try using hyrdrogen peroxide flushing in the ears, no one wears resperators or dust masks on their ears; and yes the dust and dirt does get in your ears too and builds up over time.
Morning Daniel, thanks for the tip, i'll try anything once and twice if I like the results,
cheers,
Kirk and Jason’s rendering videos
I'm 27 and I started using the water flush method about 5 years ago. If you work in any part of the construction trade, learning this method of clearing your sinuses is a must (in my opinion)!
Howdy Brian Dude,it really sucks but it does work for me although it sometimes feels like torture or like say waterboarding, if I was a spy and they did this to me, I'd squeal like a stuck pig.
This method of clearing out dust from sinuses is definitely not for the weak at heart, so I don't recommend it to anyone, it's just what I do sometimes.

It's nice to see a tradesman talking about safety. Thank you.
Howdy Casper dude, it's a subject that is extremely important that when a fellas young takes for granted good health. inhaling stucco over the years is similar to smoking cigarettes at first it doesn't beat you up but after 25 years say goodnight to health and a big helloooooooo to ills.

I did a job on my home it was tearing down old plaster and removing the old insulation the home is about 100 years old and the insulation was shredded up newspaper with cotton like fiber in it I had a cheap paper mask but no ventilation in the room and ended up breathing in a lot of the dirt and particles and have been having some pain in my right lung any information would be muchly appreciated I'm a little worried on how safe it was to expose myself to it it was about 3 to 4 day job and then I was smart enough to go buy a respirator mask but question is how dangerous do you think or did I oppose any risk to myself and should I get checked up thank you very much really love your videos very helpful
Good evening Vinnie dude, sorry to hear this as that sucks, brush your tongue super well for a few days as that stuff gets stuck in the back of your tongue, sounds weird as it is, activated charcoal helps too, or you can do the nose thing in this video, it's no fun, in fact, I chocked the first time I tried it.
But when I get this feeling I do it and it works, this goofy but effective idea was told to me by an old-timer.
plus, blow your nose often as those nanoparticles clog up the entire sinus big time, not hard enough to blow out an eardrum, but enough to get that stuff out!
Hopefully, you didn't find any rat poop or nest in that stuff, as like a fool I did and was beat up for a while for it, as I wasn't wearing a proper mask, that won't happen to me again, doubtful to you either.

Mastering Plastering tips and techniques by the experts
Hi all I need some help/advice. I was working on fixing some bricks and inhaled dry, unmixed mortar dust. It's been a week and I am waking up in the middle of the night with shortness of breath and mucus in my lungs. If anyone has an experience similar to mine please let me know if you did and how it was resolved. I am hoping I won't have to deal with this forever. Thanks
Howdy David, I'm sorry to hear this brother, in this video, I do indeed explain how, "I" deal with any toxin I breathe in, which happens throughout an average day for us. However, the method is this video is not for the faint of heart. The method I explain in this video was told to me by an old man who I thought was crazy until I tried it.
They do sell what are termed, Neti pots to rinse the toxins out, thus help remove sinus infections.
Never tried one as I use the stronger methods mentioned myself.
Another way is to clean your tongue as far back to your throat as possible, my wife has this cool u shaped copper tongue scraper that remove not only the top stuff but deep down toxins off the tongue as it may be parasites, dust and or mold as this crap actually embeds itself.
I've also used a toothbrush if nothing else is available, the idea is to give a helping hand to our immune system to do its job and to shove this stuff into our colon where it can be eliminated.
