The pebble dash kings rock on
in Sewickley, Pennsylvania
Here's how we did it:
We rejoin our heroes at this addition in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh.
A cutaway view showing one inch foam board over OSB, covered with a heavy membrane.
We put on a layer of tarpaper over the membrane and self-furring metal lath. Long nails were used to go through the foam board into the OSB. Care is used not to drive the nails tight into the foam.
Copper counter flashing is overlapped with tarpaper and metal lath. Flashing goes under the stucco and not over the stucco.
View of the nice thick window sill with a drip groove. No way water is going to run into this wall.
Drip molding has copper flashing. Flashing is overlapped with tar paper and metal lath. Addition has two layers of water resistent membrane.
View of the finished wall showing copper flashing over the windows.
Horizontal tudor boards are flashed with copper.
Pebbles are 3/8 river jacks from New Hope, Pennsylvania.
A view of our finished addition. Looks just like 1920. Addition was built by DAS Construction.
I was impressed with the stone work. You don't see stone work this nice in the Washington area.
I brought back a terrible towel as a souvenir of Pittsburgh. These towels are known to have magical powers.
