Stucco replaced on this 1926 house

Rot isn't too bad. Lath and stucco are stripped down to the old wood sheating boards.
Flashing is put over stone water table, and overlapped with protecto wrap and tarpaper. This should never leak and rot.
Heavy dash on texture matches the original house.
Stucco replaced. I couldn't stand back far enough to take a good picture. Hope you can see what is going on.
