The brown coat is finished, now we put on the details before the finish coat.
The keystones are drilled on the back and hung on bolts like a picture.

The finish coat is our standard mix of white
portland and white sand. The color is #70,

are 2X strength.

Note that the lights are in the soffit, and not
the wall.

| Temporary downspouts are supported by one by fours. This prevents staining of the stucco
until the downspouts are put on.
|
Contrasting colors make the keystones pop out.
|
|
|
| A view of the side shows the same temporary
downspout. Note there are no ugly
expansion joints.
