Siding off, stucco on.
Project in Round Hill, Virginia

Siding stripped off starting from the top. Tarpaper and self-furring metal lath put on.
Stucco is run over the edge of the brick Edge is formed by putting on a 1 by 4
Stucco is run over the edge of the brick to hide the caulk bead. Edge is formed by putting on a 1 by 4 and 
straightening the wall to the one by. Note the "legs" we put on to support the strip.
Area where leg is is filled in before the finish coat.
electric meter Real stucco changes color
Channel around electric meter is left on
to avoid a mess scraping off the caulk.
The channel also makes good flashing.
Real stucco changes color with the angle of the sunlight. Color variations and irregularities of portland cement and sand add depth to the color.
