**Dawn's house**
**Washington, DC**

Circa 1901 wood clapboard was covered with metal lath and pebble dash stucco in the 1930's. The old wood siding was still in good condition after all these years even without the use of tar paper. The metal lath had failed prematurely probably due to lack of galvanization or coating. Please click here or on the picture for more.	A close up of the pebble dash finish.

**on a new house**
**Chevy Chase, MD**

TOP: Another job for Block Builders. You may have seen these houses we did like this for Block last year, or this one two years ago. TOP RIGHT: A closer view of the stucco. The curve at the bottom is called a wash, done to deflect water away from the stone water table. Washes also have a decorative effect, the curve showing the wall is stucco. RIGHT: Tyvek torn off strategically leaving strips around edges and windows.
