| You may have seen how we do solid stucco sills.
Here we used a slightly different method.
|
The sills are formed with lumber and a strip
of metal lath is nailed on for insurance my
sill won't fall off the wall.
|
 |
|
| The sills are filled with white portland cement and concrete sand. Concrete sand was used
to match the original finish.
|
A straight edge is held up and the mortar is struck off at an angle.
|
|
|
| Now all we do is throw on the blobs. Note how
a gap is left under the drip edge of the window to allow water to drip down onto the angle.
|
Spanish texture. This is also called a heavy lace.

| The original stucco is on the column on the far right. Our addition looks like 1921 again.
|
The natural cement finish is White Portland cement, white lime and yellow sand.
