BTW, I'm Jason, the beard behind the camera, and also a licensed contractor. My dad and I have switched to powerful, modern, and long-lasting all battery-operated Milwaukee tools for good reasons. Take the Dual Chemistry M18 Job-site Radio. For me, this is one of my favorite tools for any job site: http://amzn.to/3aVmD1T. I plug my cell phone in the top, then listen commercial-free to my music all day... or my dad's favorite artists. 😏🤔 We turn it off when filming. 🎥
We've also replaced our corded break out tool for the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Rotary Hammer: https://amzn.to/3ecdjsy. Here's a video about why we love it: -https://youtu.be/TdsGwupieXE
We exclusively use this battery-operated mortar drill - it's a drag searching for outlets, unrolling a hundred-foot extension cord, and winding it back up: https://amzn.to/2OzBxS0

Hi Captain Kirk. On the wall that you saturated with water, can weld crete be used instead?
HowdyRayram, excellent question, yes it can, however, water is ten times faster, does not cost a cent and works better for the mechanical bond.
Fact is I did use weld crete for this purpose a few weeks earlier as the wall that was in the sun I had weld crete on the truck and my brother luuuu applied it by roller to kill the suction.
I had to redo that wall as the mud still dried too fast which created a varied color and texture.
lots of reasons why, but the fact is water and lots of it is the sure thing.
Weld crete is necessary if the wall is painted, the wall in this video was cementitious so the new to existing adhered by natural suction.

Really amazing how knowledgeable these folks are… Really great information.. And, what more you guys make the info so accessible to anyone…. What do you guys think of these new plastering-Machines?… Do y'all think it would catch on with contractors?
Howdy Roblox, Plastering Tommy guns are far from new, I worked behind a pump for many years, we would stucco 10 homes a day, but needed at least 10 competent men.
Think that's easy try working with two and staying on the same track.
I used to own a Tommy gun 20 years ago but had to sell it as too much paperwork involved and babysitting.

Kirk you are great at explaining your methods.There is so much value in your contentespecially for people in the trade. Theremay be economic value in your content ifyou were to provide it for a cost. IE: paying 2.99 for a movie or an episode via amazon.IE: editing your content into segments – making a condensed series. (Your content is already condensedand great stuff – but would be good to see youcapitalize on it somehow. Keep up the good work.

The sand grades are tricky. I used a fine yellow bar mixed into cement and it was still a little to thick .
You make everything look so easy. You helped me and taught me a lot on what I've been doing. I have no idea how you stay so clean.
Howdy Jakee, thank you, I stay clean as there is Lime an lye in stucco, not good to get on ones skin.
Plus I have to wash my own clothes.

Plastering tips from your favorite stucco geeks
Hi Kirk,
Up here in Ontario Canada people tend to use a styrofoam and a mesh, they put on the styrofoam then a base coat of a sticky cement on then push the mesh into it with a trowel. Then you put something like a colour coat ,this material is all premixed in buckets, I think they call it Dryvit, then they bring out the aggregate out with a hard plastic trowel.
I’ve done this and found you have to wash off the trowel regularly or the colour coat sticks to the trowel, and if you do it in the heat of the sun it dries to fast to float.
Would wetting the wall work in this situation?
Thank you for the videos.
Howdy Dave, it called the Dry-vit system, of course since it was introduced here in the U.S. in the 60s it's been copied by many companies.
Keep a bucket of water with you, "clean your trowel often," as the cementitious material used to attach the mesh netting to the styrofoam also has an adhesive in it, very similar to Poly Bond. made by Lahar used to attach styrofoam molds to cement walls
best wishes,

How many times a year do you have to take the customer to court for not paying you? Do you ever get sued? Nice work
..
Evening Lord Dude. exceExcellentstion.
I had a weird customer last year who was stalking us. My son, Jason, said, "dad, she's not playing with a full deck" wed better not get involved.
I didn't pay attention as I try to help all. Big mistake.
She was nuttier than a fruitcake and got my crew and me for one of the hardest days I ever worked.
She kept bringing a ten-foot level out saying the previous work was off by a hair.
I finally packed up and left after later in the day.
I was taking a break and asking myself why I got involved with one who my entire crew could see, was not playing with a full deck.
The neighbor asked, "what I was doing," I said, taking a break from your neighbor.
She got really serious and advised, "take your loss and leave now." as she's a patient, from 'One flew over the coco's nest."
Other than that, I have not had any problems with getting paid.
Yes, I was sued 15 years ago by crooked attorneys who sued even all the delivery companies plus every company on the job site.
It was fraud, so I turned it over to my insurance. Fact is some attorneys are so crooked they have issues being "manly," unless they can effectively steal from another using their knowledge of laws then finding flaws.

I like it. Great job. I'm painting a nice home in la habra heights and I already knocked down all the buckling stucco and pressure washed. Then I gave it the sand finish,but I was a one man army,so that's all I did. I have to roll the glue as well. So Monday I'll do the texture,but I'm going to by a trowel like yours…Amen. thanks for the video. Hey, I even cherried out the houses foundation because it was beat up and I pulled back the guys stone to pressure wash. When I'm finished I'll put back the stone to a sand finish,but the rest of stucco will be light lace
The stones bumped the foundation.
Do you know how to do stucco english lace finish ?? Materials ??
Evening Marco, I never heard of an English lase paster finish. If I saw any stucco finish, I could match it. Or better yet, I have not found one I could not match if not on the money, I do the best I can. The most difficult of any finish worldwide is a people dash finish. This one is only difficult as it's too difficult to find all the unusual aggregates that someone might have used, such as abalone shells glass and other things.
