| 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. |
