House stuccoed
in Alexandria, VA

Paint is chipped off the old bricks for the stucco application.	The stucco on the top floor is stripped off and new self furring lath applied.
A weep screed is nailed at the bottom. The weep screed allows water to escape from the bottom, and defines the wall thickness, in this case, an honest 3/4".	House all lathed, ready for mortar.
Another view of the front.	This picture shows overlapping the counter flashing on the new metal roof with tar paper.
The flange on top of the window is covered with tar paper and strips of metal lath.	The scratch coat is applied. We mixed the mortar for the scratch coat with an acrylic bonder to make sure it never comes off.
This is a commercial for Flex-con, an acrylic bonding admixture. The flex-con is mixed half and half with water. The mortar is dry mixed in the mortar box, then shoveled into buckets of our flex-con mix, and mixed with a drill.	Putting on the finish coat.
The big wall on the side of the house sure looks nice with no expansion joints.	Another view of the finished front.
Back side.	Garage
	The hole on the front has a nice glow in the evening.
