Just a note for your consideration. We have a townhouse in Florida that’s stucco over block. The contractor then painted it with latex paint. Apparently (this all happened before we bought it), the stucco with latex paint wasn’t waterproof and water was migrating through to the block and inside. The fix was to repaint with an elastomeric paint. That stopped the water intrusion. Future paintings can use regular latex. By the way, great channel. Have been following you since your appearance on some of those early Andrew Comarata videos. Your depth of knowledge and skills for a young guy is impressive.
Great job, Jesse. I don't miss my days as a plasterer rendering houses. Looks like a great material to use and very similar to our K Rend we use in the UK. Can't paint it, and it does have a tendency to go green if trees are close to the building and the alge grows on it. Thanks for another year of interesting and varied content Merry Christmas to you and your family Austin
I agree with you. The finish coat looked far better as it was when spayed and without knocking it down with a trowel. On a box house that lacks any architectural detail or large (main floor) windows that would take the eye away from so much uninterupted surface area, flaws in the stucco will be much more noticeable. Otherwise, job well done.
I have worked with this kind of job professionaly. What you shold do now to get a perfect finish is to get the colour sandmix product. Now I live in Sweden so I dont know exactly what products you have there. But this colour sandmix use to be able buy blended and ready to use in buckets. You spray it on. Leaves a very nice structure and even surface. Use to be several colours to choose from.
Looking really good Jesse. There's a lot of work gone into this build and you should be proud of what you have achieved. The knowledge you have is unbelievable. Looking forward to the next vlog
First step you need is a plaster hawk and flat trowl. Than always start appling from bottom working your way up and down the line vertical left to right or vice versa depending on your dominate hand.. ☝☝ This will keep your drop waste down. The stuco must have the consistency of pudding or thin icing. To be able to apply it in a thin manner. Plus there's no need to apply a first coat before the mesh. It should go right onto the foam and smooshed on vertical with one coat at 1/8" to1/16" thick. 👍👍👍👍To do a knock down effect for spray on you need to lightly skim the trowl downward over the high spots knocking them flat ONLY with light pressure.👀👀It's the same as you see with plaster effects in many Hotel's. A light swipe is all that's needed.
I like the finish coat better without smoothing it out but to each his own. Either way your place is looking really nice .The one you need to please is your wife. 👍 Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hey she is a ugly one ey but most don’t know she is sturdy. Will be there in the storms and quakes. At least your safe and its a bunker above ground. Who cares about the looks dep. She is a nasty one I have to agree with you Jesse. Taking a du di on the wall might even smooth things out but that doesn’t matter at least she is sturdy and a bunker sitting there. Trees are covering the eye sore. Welcome home man hope you get that CO. Congrats on the house she is a beauty.
There are many parts to the build of this house that were new to you. You have done a great job on every step of the construction and should be very proud.
Nicely put together video. At the 20 minute mark, "I bet it is pretty satisfying to watch somebody do it." Just before that quote while watching, I was thinking how labor intensive building a house really is to construct. When will the robots take over more of the construction? Eaglegards...
That mesh should help make the stucco last forever, and if there are any cracks, they will be almost invisible. Your eaves are well above most of the trees, and you have no roofing granules so the gutters should stay fairly clean. But when they do stop up, the telehandler will make short work of it.
I sprayed one of my houses in the past with the same setup, but kept the spray texture and then used a elastomeric paint... 15 years later its the same and no cracks... Great work
Yea I kind of wished I kept the spray texture. But ultimately the look is the least of my concerns at the moment. I will want to revisit it though when things arent so hectic for us
@@jmuller86 I would like to know are the styrofoam sheets that are on the contour and the bottom of the concrete roof stay there because as it is a concrete roof there is no soffit and fascia
@@jmuller86 Sorry, I may have formulated it badly. I wanted to say that the foam remained in place once the formwork was removed, it should not have been removed with the formwork. I hope my question is clearer
I did a smaller ranch house about 45 years ago with the lath and subsequent skim coats of mortar, then the house was painted white and has looked good for 45 years, I live a block away and it has held up very well.
Your arms must have been pretty sore after all that. You will end up looking like Popeye from doing all that trawling. I get a kick out of your helper and his funny replies. Forget his name. That sure was quite a project in itself!
Looks good one good thing w. Stucco / epoxy you can always go over it. Unless you paint it ⚙️💀🏁👍 got a cheap lift u wanna sell ? Lol. Don’t paint it or seal it because you can always. Spray another coat and Not trowel it or. Just skip (. Technique )trowel it .
I am going to add an 8" pvc board to the fascia and use the 4x8 sheets of pvc for the soffit, make the soffit flat and add bird boxes to where jt wraps the corner. And then I was thinking box out the corners of the building with 1x8 pvc
I don't know was it the planning from up the beginning but i think you know that your house is a living thing, because...all 4 walls have a face. You see it ???? I love what i see. Ca you build the next house for me? Only 1 level plus bunker ground.
I’ve used the same sprayer to do texture on drywall. Best thing I’ve found is to set stop on trigger where you like the amount of material coming out. Next thing is to stand alittle farther away it avoid it being botchy. It’s trail and error to get all those dailed in. It’s drywall texture verse stucco but it’s still spraying mud on a wall.
👏 👏 Awesome I love the colour it different from everyone else when is fully dry all will blend in and it will look slightly more beautiful. Years down the line you can improve but I like it the way it looks now.
I purchased a home built in 1907 with a "rough stone foundation that leaked air, I used vermiculite cement on the Inside and out with a wire lathe base worked great with 20+ years without even a crack, and smooth as glass
Lol loads up the trowel and drops it ... edited a cut.... I say there were curse words said that needed edited out lol. Atleast I would have .... lookin good dude
I like the finish straight out of the sprayer myself, I spose it’s just personal preference! Great job mate, you’re a credit to you and your family and they should be very proud of you and the work you do!❤
Soon as you mixed the color to that spray, I thought about your countertops and how nice they turned out. I am sure that even tho the miss's of the house knows the stuff involved, she must be elated to see this outcome as well. I was wondering how you kept little man out of this job as he is daddies shadow for absolute sure.!!
I think the fish looked better before it was smoothed out, i have it on my house in the UK where the dappled finish (before smoothing) is called “Tyrollean”. The spots do not show imperfections like a smooth finish does
Someone is either real good with a trowel, or they learned something from mom and dad's stucco project, or both. Their project started out really tuff...but they got it. Your mom is a VERB!
"It looks nice"! Question though, now that you have a completed solid surface finish upon the outside of your home, do you find that home is warmer? "Thanks" for sharing!
Hello Jesse. I think if you have a new project, something you have never done before, wait until you have finished and gotten some comments and then let folks know, "By the way, this is the first time I have done this." Everything you do seems planned and researched. Have good days!
Nice job, keep in mind that plastic for the corner bead has a half inch heat and cold shrinkage and it lives up to it. I have dealt with the problem many times in the construction end of things!
I also would recommend not smoothing it out..Will look much better when dry and will have a popcorn look overall vice smooth and rough in areas.... Later after several years it is paintable.
My dad did some stucco work on a house he built. It looked very splotchy so he whitewashed it and then it looked great. You can tint the whitewash if you want some color to it.
Stuccoing is a messy job. for a novice, you did pretty damned Jesse. Ive seen pro stucco crews have more on themselves, the ground, window glass than actually on the walls. the final coat is always PITA if you arent going flat smooth finish. looks sharp for what you had to work with, doing such a ambitious project as novice
12/17/23..ahh Jesse. Stucco makes yur house look sooo much better! Gray color is fine as wont show dirt as much as lighter or white. Gonna look great after you get garden, grass etc. Oh yes, loved when little boy (inside warm house) was 👋 waving at camera! Nice touch..😊 Stay safe & carry on!👍⚙️💪🍺😊
Seems akin to Structolite stuff....mesh , mud and sometimes a flexible polymer topcoat.....or just double hard coats...polished, buffed to a hard dense sheen, with desired color embedded LOOKS TUFF...HOPE ITS GONNA CURE DESPITE COLD TEMPS.. CARRY ON
Looks like you have teared all the styrofoam off of the wall, like bare concrete showing up... 😊 The spray finish would like look quite nice, for the occasional blodges I would recommend a moist sponge to bring back some texture to them Great job, thx for showing! 👍👍👍

The barrel technique is how I mixed small batches of grout for my foundation remediation. Mixer in one hand with the mixer running in the barrel, other hand with shovel dipped down into the trough next to me that had the cement in it. scoop, dump, mix. backbreaking lol
friendly neighborhood stucco guy here, this was hard to watch lol but you got it done and it looks good! Stucco takes about 6 months of doing it everyday to become professional speed and quality. I know from training several guys over the past 6 years of being in the industry. You did a good job! Saved lots of money doing it yourself that’s for sure!
Yea I am sure it takes all of 6 months to train for one style, and even more when you start doing different styles.knockdown, smooth, sand finish. Could take years to be efficient at it
Jessie, I have followed you for a long time and I must say; you are a worker, a hard worker and that I respect enormously. Hats off to you.
Nice. Here in Bulgaria (Eastern Europe) this sort of sprayed stuco is really common. People just spray it and do not try to smooth it over. It is extremely durable. Houses 40+ years look like new.

Agree, same in Romania
In a lot of countries (Asia, Eastern Europe) concrete is the preferred method of home construction, it’s weird in the US most of the time we use wood for house construction.
@@mchuo7834 I can see the benefits of wood. It is fast, you got a lot of it and it is efficient. US people seem to move a lot, so longevity is not high in your list.

The texture out of the sprayer looked great.
Watched the whole process frpm day one..I a word Great...Thanks Jesse

It has been Amazing watching you build this house

We love watching people thrive…… Jesse is thriving…. Awesome channel! Awesome uploads, let help him thrive!
I wouldn't have smoothed it out, it's already a very nice texture right out of the sprayer. Love your channel!
yeah the idea of respraying with a sand finish sounds good.
Here in Croatia everyone who sprays just leaves that finish. It's uniformly fuzzy, so it looks great.
You sure are not afraid to try anything, but always comes out good. I really enjoy these videos, thank you for sharing.
Awesome, awesome work guys.
Looking really good Jesse. There's a lot of work gone into this build and you should be proud of what you have achieved. The knowledge you have is unbelievable. Looking forward to the next vlog
Stucco looks good to me, done before the frost. Next! This product looks good. No primer, just slap it on. Thank you for the vid
what I love the most with your videos is your honesty about how you do things and what you would do differently in the future. very helpful
I've been watching your videos for a while. You are a talented and hard working man. 👍👍
I wish you all the best 👍👍
Looking great Jesse, from my family to your family Merry Christmas and God bless
That looks good and protects the ICF material.
That is a lot of work, well done. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Bloody chickens!!! Same here... They love the ICF!!!🤷
Yes. It's very relaxing watching you stucco the house😂. If you're interested in some land/house consulting work, I'd love to pick your brain.

Great work man, really unified the house.
Thanks for posting Jesse….still waiting on the skid steer project…:-)
Alright!! Here we go!! Coffees on! Cheers!;-)!
If if makes you feel any better, I have not got off the sofa since you bought this property.
Great video Jesse,,,,

Awesome Work Jessie. You make it took as easy as a hot knife through butter.
Maybe some black 3.5" fascia board around windows?
I am going to add an 8" pvc board to the fascia and use the 4x8 sheets of pvc for the soffit, make the soffit flat and add bird boxes to where jt wraps the corner. And then I was thinking box out the corners of the building with 1x8 pvc
This material is only sprayed and beautifully evenly. There is no smoothing.
That was a grab in the bucket.
😜
Fascinating and enjoyable. The whole thing. Thanks :)
I don't know was it the planning from up the beginning but i think you know that your house is a living thing, because...all 4 walls have a face. You see it ????
I love what i see. Ca you build the next house for me? Only 1 level plus bunker ground.
Hey Jessie,the last video i watched was you removing the engine from your skidsteer,do you have any updates on putting in back together?
I watched your Parents video and I was looking forward to watch this video and I truly enjoyed every minute of it well done buddy.
just hear to watch the ducks make laps in the pond

Nice work. A lot of stucco teams use stucco hoppers, but it just depends on what finish you want in the end I suppose.
👏 👏 Awesome I love the colour it different from everyone else when is fully dry all will blend in and it will look slightly more beautiful.
Years down the line you can improve but I like it the way it looks now.
looking great!
GJ none the less JM!!!!! Looks better than bought.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looks good, Govee lights would look cool on the house. What about the roof? Does it need any type of finish/sealer? Are you going to have gutters?
I purchased a home built in 1907 with a "rough stone foundation that leaked air, I used vermiculite cement on the Inside and out with a wire lathe base worked great with 20+ years without even a crack, and smooth as glass
Looks good Jessie. Seems like it still needs some time to dry out. Either way, I'd be happy with that. You don't know until you try right?
OHHHH and at least no one will notice when those kids will spill and get nasty haha. Plus plus. What a champ man. Good job love it man
You could literally contact adhere thin aluminum woodgrain soffit and facia and forget it. You own a break after all...
the house can be stylized as a chalet, it will look beautiful especially since it is located in nature👍
I'm really impressed with how everything is progressing, keep up the good work 👏
Lol loads up the trowel and drops it ... edited a cut.... I say there were curse words said that needed edited out lol. Atleast I would have .... lookin good dude

#AWESOMESAUCE !!! Wonderful job!
I think it looks great. Would like a peek inside, just to see how things are looking in there.
I will do a start to finish video involving everything on the house in a video coming up. and I will show it all finished
if you put paint on that and it starts to peel .... also if you put paint you will need to do it again every few years
I expect you will paint it, in which case all of the discrepancies' will go away.
Someone is either real good with a trowel, or they learned something from mom and dad's stucco project, or both.
Their project started out really tuff...but they got it. Your mom is a VERB!
You could latter add textured paint or sand paint it's common on my country where houses are full made of bricks and cement.
"It looks nice"! Question though, now that you have a completed solid surface finish upon the outside of your home, do you find that home is warmer? "Thanks" for sharing!
Hello Jesse. I think if you have a new project, something you have never done before, wait until you have finished and gotten some comments and then let folks know, "By the way, this is the first time I have done this." Everything you do seems planned and researched. Have good days!
Nice job, keep in mind that plastic for the corner bead has a half inch heat and cold shrinkage and it lives up to it. I have dealt with the problem many times in the construction end of things!
Tough work labor intense, just get a good paint job on it, help seal it, and add some Stripes looks great.
whos your co worker thats always at your side? is he part of the fam? great job jessie
I also would recommend not smoothing it out..Will look much better when dry and will have a popcorn look overall vice smooth and rough in areas.... Later after several years it is paintable.
Nice House Jesse :)
Looks good. Have you thought about a stacked corner stone on all your corners??? I think a good 12"+ would look great.
My dad did some stucco work on a house he built. It looked very splotchy so he whitewashed it and then it looked great. You can tint the whitewash if you want some color to it.
Stuccoing is a messy job. for a novice, you did pretty damned Jesse. Ive seen pro stucco crews have more on themselves, the ground, window glass than actually on the walls. the final coat is always PITA if you arent going flat smooth finish. looks sharp for what you had to work with, doing such a ambitious project as novice
I think some shutters would tie things in nicely
12/17/23..ahh Jesse. Stucco makes yur house look sooo much better! Gray color is fine as wont show dirt as much as lighter or white. Gonna look great after you get garden, grass etc. Oh yes, loved when little boy (inside warm house) was 👋 waving at camera! Nice touch..😊 Stay safe & carry on!👍⚙️💪🍺😊
Seems akin to Structolite stuff....mesh , mud and sometimes a flexible polymer topcoat.....or just double hard coats...polished, buffed to a hard dense sheen, with desired color embedded
LOOKS TUFF...HOPE ITS GONNA CURE DESPITE COLD TEMPS..
CARRY ON
The best video
Here in Scotland it would have been sprayed on and the leave the texture and not smoothed out
Looks like you have teared all the styrofoam off of the wall, like bare concrete showing up...
😊
The spray finish would like look quite nice, for the occasional blodges I would recommend a moist sponge to bring back some texture to them
Great job, thx for showing!
👍👍👍
Excellent work, I really loved the airbourne lift jumping, OSHA approved of course! LOL. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Maybe later you can spray the walls lightly with an elastomatic paint mixed in.
It is definitely better watching then doing, lol
The barrel technique is how I mixed small batches of grout for my foundation remediation. Mixer in one hand with the mixer running in the barrel, other hand with shovel dipped down into the trough next to me that had the cement in it. scoop, dump, mix. backbreaking lol
I would put a timber framed roof over the back deck along with a deck railing system.
This facade cannot be smoothed with a trowel. It should stay as it was after spraying. Greetings from Poland
You can always paint on stucco if the discoloration doesn’t even out
The blue hopper sprayer is actually for spraying popcorn ceilings.
The stucco will stick to the foam just like that?
Did you use grk cabinet screw for your window flanges? I use those screws in everything. my dad makes fun of me I use them so much
Yes I use them alot too
friendly neighborhood stucco guy here, this was hard to watch lol but you got it done and it looks good! Stucco takes about 6 months of doing it everyday to become professional speed and quality.
