We scaffolded up house to tear off the EIFS. Rotten OSB sheathing is soaking wet, rotten, and full of bugs. EIFS is like a plastic bag, trapping water against the wall. Tiny holes in the finish coat material let water in, but not back out. Check back as the drama unfolds.

All for now.
There's always plenty more.
Please keep checking back.
