The old stucco was loose and getting ready to fall off. The house had been re-stuccoed at some point by nailing metal lath over the old stucco. |
The last
re-stucco was already failing. It is a good idea to tear it all the way off instead of nailing over the old stucco. |
The old
stucco is stripped down to the wood lath. Here, we are putting on an apron flashing over the shed roof on the porch. |
Two layers
of tarpaper (count 'em, not one but two !). |
We put a new
counter flashing on the chimney. |
Somebody in
the past used my coin in the chimney cap idea and embedded a penny
in the top. I put
in quarters. |

The top of the chimney has our typical band for a drip edge, preserving the life of the chimney. |
Another finished product. |
