Information on this this related subject and many others is now available only in commercial format. The available formats are printed books, e-books, non-editable PDF formats and  Power Point presentations. Some copy rights protected data can be downloaded for a set fee.

 

Since the nature of the Internet has changed dramatically form its inception as an educational source to the its current status, as an a sales, marketing and advertising avenue for enhancing profits, much of the more valuable content has disappeared and commercial ads have taken its place.

 

Rather than to help the public with the distribution of endless free information, overly generous consultation (that also aids competitors and seekers of totally free information,) this site has become more commercial in order to protect the valuable intellectual copy rights protected property that is now for sale.

 

It has been a sweet ride for those who have benefited greatly from past generosity, but the glory days of virtually endless free intellectual altruistic content are a probably thing of the more innocent past.

 

Many thanks have been returned to those who have given many compliments to the site's valuable copy rights protected content. Now it is time for the public to pay the piper now that the free concerts have ended. Processes are now underway to convert the detailed supporting educational; data to sell-able commercial products. There will be more details to follow as an on-line retail store develops.

 

Continuing along this line no more free phone consultation shall be given. Any detailed information requests will be supplied only with a proper transaction of funds. Your understanding of this important, and necessary policy is appreciated.

Stucco stiff is popular in dry climates where it can be applied the surface of a solid masonry wall. The application of stucco frame wall, however, generally is more involved than the application of other finishes.

Thus, the high cost of labor for its application has reduced its popularity in the northern parts of the country. 

When stucco, which is a type of plaster that can be various patterns. or colored, is used, its application involves the following steps., First, when firing strips are nailed to the sheathing through the building paper, metal lathing is stretched onto the firing strips. Finally, the stucco troweled onto the metal mesh lathing. There should be NO foam, (either structural or decorative) used with any form of Stucco or EIFS!

I did not see any flashing caps above the stucco windows, is this a repair item or just recommend installing (new construction).
The aren't weep screeds required at the bottom of the window casement trims.

The bottom of the stucco should be at least 2 inches from the roof covering and cricket.

The bottom of the rain collar should not be sealed for air gap reasons,
