Old wood lath was held away from the wall with vertical furring strips. This allowed mortar to squish behind the lath for a full key.
Outside corners were reinforced with metal lath.
Pebble Dash Stucco in Purcellville, Virginia
Here's how we did it:
Vertical furring strips had rotted away causing wall to fail.
Interesting, at least to me: Someone used a angled drip molding over the window.
This assured the flashing on top was angled correctly. Of course, we replaced the old steel flashing with aluminum
Most of the old steel flashing had rusted away to nothing.
New angled flashing is put on. Sides of window and flashing are sealed with protecto tape.
Flashing on the bay window was put on over the stucco instead of under the stucco.
This is the reason for rot under the roof
New flashing is put on tight to the wood substrate. Flashing is then overlapped with tar paper.
Tar paper and self furring metal lath.
Soffits are covered with tape and plastic to avoid splattering with rocks.
Finished wall showing the bay window.
Just like 1920 again, just waiting for paint.
