Patch and match


 
A scallop texture A scallop texture on an old house.
Finish was applied first with a scratch coat then with the scallops-one by one.

Note the space we left at the
bottom of the patch for future
settling, and also for drainage

Stucco over concrete


 
limestone color coarse float finish
Mynor trowels on the colored portland finish.
I had some choice over my finish color- I wanted to make a limestone color.		 The finish coat is one third very coarse sand and 2 thirds fine sand for a nice coarse float finish.
