A view of the top floor addition. Finish is REAL
portland
cement and REAL sand. Color is "Southern Moss" from La Habra stucco. |
Sheathing is cut back to allow room for the
insets. Wood window sills divert water away from the wall. Framing is metal studs with hardy backer board. |
Lathing ceiling. | Inset is formed with lumber and filled. Lumber is removed and inside filled after the wall sets overnight. |
Drip groove is scored in brown coat on ceiling about 3" from the edge. This prevents water from running back on ceiling. | Picture taken with my camera phone. Not too bad. Knee wall on balcony has wood nailers put on first, to nail the metal coping to. We put the finish coat on the balcony already, but I'm saving the dramatic pictures for the next update. Please come back. |
Back of building. We are going to stucco this, too, when it is ready. |
