Stucco preparation


With stucco planned to begin this week (the scratch coat or a sand/cement mixture) the building paper and wire is installed to provide the underlayment between the building sheeting and the stucco.  It is also important to install the roof trims (soffit and fascia) at this time so that the stucco mixture can be installed up to the trims. Putting the trims on after the stucco is possible, but not desirable as unsightly gapping can be observed.

Soffit and fascia trims are installed where necessary.  Since we plan to use a membrane deck we also have accommodated that so the membrane can be installed later when it will be subject to far lower risk of damage by falling debris or the weight of scaffolding
