Stucco applications off ladder jacks 

Like the way you laid the jacks up one in front one behind. I usually do both behind and have the ladder run up to the roof and secure them up there so no moving.

Love the video, in Ohio we do a lot of vinyl & fiber cement siding. It was nice taking a look into the stucco world. Thanks again

Kirk is the man! He is a true pro and this vid rocks!

The loafers and white button down are a nice touch. Keepin it classy!

I was crapping myself with you there Kirk....I don't like staging like that..great video

This stuff is Gold! Thanks, Kirk!

Stucco Fear factor :) love the setup on the ladders guys :)

Awesome videos. You're presentation is great

Kirk,great video as always,you seemed more relaxed later in vid

good video! I think the right mix helps a lot in this application.

Ok Kirk!! Kuddoss for being up there!!! Just seeing you gives me that vertigo!!! Ahhhhh

For 40 years I never put the second ladder to get down always through my leg around plank unbelievable never stop learning at 64 I had a set up 24' not long ago

Excellent video Kirk, I am always keenly interested in the honesty you show in your videos...you dont gloss over the dangers we all face in the workplace. I havent read the comments below yet (will do that after i have written this), however anyone who grumbles at you for this should take note of one thing...i dont think i have seen too many of your videos where you are not wearing a back brace. For me this video is showing what sometimes is necessary done to get a job done even when it bends the rules of both safety and indeed common sense. I am impressed that you are willing to go the extra mile, however because you are apply render (which requires considerable pushing), the danger in my book would have me making a more substantial effort to prevent fall in the opposite direction to that which i am applying stucco. In Australia our maximum safe height without appropriate fall protection is about 2 metres. As you dont have a guard rail to prevent falling over backwards and you are upwards of 4 metres off the ground I am quite sure this isnt doable in Australia under the law. I am not sure of our exact legislation requirements but i suspect we would require certification for the erection of scaffolding above this height as well? (with the exception of small mobile scaffs) A simple solution to this circumstance, using my limited experience in having constructed and acrylic rendered an external retrofit 12 meter high lift shaft in Many Sydney 3 years ago, would be to add an industrial rope access harness and 2 ropes suspended from above. I use Petzel industrial rope access gear and for the sake of about $2-3k it is worth my life even if i only use it once a year. Obviously one is supposed to have completed training courses in "safe working at heights" and "industrial rope access" to do it legally, but even illegally (learning from youtube videos) it still better than a ladder and plank. In household situations, to avoid having to climb up on the roof, I used to throw the ropes right over the top of the roof/ridge and anchor them down on building foundations (or sub floor framing etc) on other side (sometimes this needs a bit of improvisation in order to successfully achieve due to the direction of the roof ridge above). Of course another solution when the ground below doesnt really allow for scaffolding is a cherry picker (if access is available for cherry picker to get close enough) EDIT, gee that building finish next door at the 13.45 mark is a shocker of a finish. Hope that wasnt one of yours! Thank you for your video Kirk..."and as usual, see you on the next one"

I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of falling. I see you've got your Sunday's shoes.

Scary stuff , stay safe Kirk.....

big fan,i do siding,gutters,windows as my trade.I love to watch your vids cause I thirst for knowledge and can spot a true craftsmen in a crowded room,you sir are a true craftsmen and or tradesman.My question,not to forsake you or to cost you any work but as a guy who does windows,i got to think the window guys that work in front of you can take the old windows out a lot cleaner,sawzall,masonary blade on grinder,man them guys are invested in your retirement plan,guess you cant look a gift horse in the mouth BUT back when I was working union .....lol

Bravo Kirk :))

Bad ass boss!! I've learned allot watching y'all I love it. Do you use bonding agent on the edge of stucco?

Kirk, has Discovery network asked you to do a "reality show " yet? I have a feeling it would be just as good as Duck Dynasty. You seem to have a large family that is very photogenic. I'd tune in. Thanks for all your videos.

Great work as akways Kirk!! I have a project coming up & i want to get your opinion!! the finish is going to be a rough dash finish but the feature wall is made out of blue board/cement sheeting!! can you dash finish straight on blue board/cement sheeting one coat or it still needs a base coat then a dash coat finish??

Hi kirk just wondering if you have any videos with you giving some hawk and trowel tips and tricks

Nice one Kirk.....I can see you in a cople of years doing a TV program.......revovations lol

wow ! Kirk my friend no celebratory jig on the rig and laying down on the job , boy, tip I always tell my buddy when do dangerous ladder work tie off with a rope tie off to a tree or the house and always make sure you rap around your neck for safety . Ha Ha at least I give my in law great tips . great tips and keep on plastering.

hello Kirk. been watching your vids for a while now as I also do plaster. I was wondering if you know of any sites or company's where I can purchase eifs foam sheets at maybe wholesale prices. got a big eifs job coming up and was wondering. Thanks!

For the price of 4 quality ladders (plus the plank) I'm sure I can get actual scaffolding!

I would like to create that same set up what do you have holding the plank up if you don't mind me asking looks like to Stabilizers?

i never had you down as a stunt man kirk

double time when falling

Awesome. Get those safety rails for the rear and ends of planks.

'using my......SKILL'.... LOL....Legend.

Be careful Kirk 👍🇺🇸🙏

Sr. how's the weather up there?

Haven't seen ladder standoffs for years! they're illegal here in the UK! Health and Safety regulations here have gone crazy!

danger pay right haha

thats illegal in australia you could get a heavy fine if you get caught but we use moblie scaffolds down here anyhow

Better hope CalOSHA isn't watching this 😎

safety first ,,please tie off. hate to see you get hurt. at our young age. the ground only gets harder. and it takes longer the heal

If that scares you try bamboo! I think you can appreciate this vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HT3pk3Sw78E.html

I'm a lather have been for 38 im Union and there's no way I would go on that make shift scaffold it's not at all legal its not safe at the very least wear a harness and set up some fall arrest system with a yoyo, no window patch is worth death or being paralyzed, but that's what you do when your non-union and you cut corners to save money

Dangerous!!!???? I remove wasp nests, hornet nests, and honeybees off extension ladders all summer...now imagine doing what you're doing with angry stinging insects flying around you for hours...

I cringed the whole time.
