Finish
color is REAL portland cement and REAL
sand, and not the toxic fake stuff you see on so many new houses. Color
is a custom color from Expo
stucco in San Diego.
LEFT: Window sills are my design and are functional.
Note how
sill slants at top for water run-off and slants at bottom for a drip
edge. The angle at the bottom prevents water from running back to
the wall,
extending the life of the wall and avoiding water infiltration. More details about this projext.. |
Back of this attractive addition. Stucco walls are boken into panels using aluminum trim with a factory baked-on color. Finish coat is our secret recipe of portland cement and sand. Color is # 16, "silver grey", from La Habra Stucco. |

This sign is too much. It says: Horse shoe Ezzy's five club N.E. Washington D.C. There was a horseshoe club that played on this vacant lot a couple of times. |
TOP LEFT: Heat tent allows work to proceed in 20 degree
weather. This
is how we work outside in cold weather. TOP: Brick sills are coated and trued up by forming with straight lumber and filling in. LEFT: Decorative lintels over windows are made by forming with one by fours and filling in with mortar. After forms are removed,we have a bullet proof lintel ready for the finish. Color will be "Oatmeal" from Merlex stucco. |
