| After
the
scratch
coat has set up about 2 days, the brown coat is put on. |
The EIFS cloth
and finish was put directly on the concrete. Here, the wall is chipped to prepare for a bonding coat using flex con, an acrylic bonder in the mortar. |
 |
 |
| After the
bonding coat sets up, the wall is filled the rest of the way. |
The roof is
covered with tarpaper to keep it clean. |
 |
 |
| A horizontal screed is set
using a string line. For more about screeds, click here. |
Vertical
screeds are set about 6 feet apart between the horizontal screed and the weep screed at the bottom. |
 |
 . |
| Now
it
is
just a matter of filling in between the screeds and rodding the
wall with a 6 foot rod. |
Walls
are
straight.
If you can see the string line, it was set with a water level to form the band. |
