| The old stucco beneath the siding was in good
shape except for a few holes and cracks from the siding installation. The old finish was a dry dash where the pebbles are thrown into the mortar. It was real solid and could be re-coated. |
The photo shows putting on deck flashing, and a
strip of metal lath on the flashing. This should stop any further
deterioration of the deck and the ledger board. |

 |
| We removed the gutter and replaced the fascia
board at the top. |
The old stucco was first coated with a bonding
coat, mixing an acrylic admixture in the mortar. More about re-coating old stucco. |

 |
| The bonding coat is rubbed down
with a rubber float. This leaves the surface rough and the pores open for a good bond with the finish. |
Color is "Sand dollar" from EXPO
stucco. |
