Your stucco video was incredibly insightful and easily one of the best I've watched. Your expertise has been instrumental in helping me tackle the obstacles I've faced during my project. I truly appreciate the effort and time you've invested in sharing your knowledge of the trades. Thank you so much!
Sir, you are very a good teacher. This is the best video I have watched on this subject. Your thorough, and step by step approach to instruction has enabled me to acquire a better technique. Thank you. You are appreciated.
Thank you for sharing this great video it really helped a lot of us contractors that might have a question about stucco just subscribed to your channel congratulations and thanks again for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Excellent, thanks. Clear and concise. Any plans to do one for EIFS? I'm not based in Cali ( unfortunately ) and this system would be more common where I am working.
Why didn’t the window area above and below, not have plywood backing? And/Or why not install it instead of the wire backing for the lath and paper? I’m a student of the trade. Perhaps there’s a good reason why these areas did not have plywood as it relates to the window??? Please explain and thanks for the education. Great video!
I was a subcontractor on this project and was not involved with the framing of the room addition. I’m not sure why they decided to eliminate the plywood above and below the window. However, it became beneficial for me because it gave me a chance to explain what to do in this type of situation. In the 50’s through to the 80’s open stud framing was common in southern California. In 1994 we had a major seismic event in Northridge California which led to some new major code requirements. One of the amendments to the code was to install plywood over the stud walls to act a shear wall in the event of an earthquake. I explained the benefits of shear panel (plywood) in my video.
@20:55 you discuss the illustration where the OSB is installed hanging over the side of the slab causing a potential entry point for insects. Couldnt uou just apply stucco in the underside sealing the gap or fill it with some other agent? On some job sites, the problem example is exactly as shown, what is your preferred method?
The installation of ½ x 1 inch L-metal flashing at the bottom of the shear panel prior to the application of the weep screed is a good option but not in all instances because the concrete slab is not always straight. In many cases I will fill in the void with stucco. I’m sure there are other ways to approach this.
In my opinion elastomeric or any other type of paint conceals underlying issues that can go unnoticed until it is too late, like a roof leak, as explained in my video “Don’t Paint Stucco” ruclips.net/video/TFk8AvtjjEk/видео.html . A painted stucco soffit under a deck will conceal a deck leak as well. The only recommendation I can offer is to have your roof and decks checked at least every one or two years by qualified licensed professionals in those fields.
I believe you may be thinking of roofing. In the stucco industry a square yard is 9 square feet. In the roofing industry, a roofing square is 100 square feet. A 100 square foot area of roof makes a roofing square. However, a “square” is not 100 square feet of roofing material. It is the amount of material needed to cover 100 square feet of roof.
This video is so professionally done! All of my concerns and questions were addressed. Many I didn’t anticipate were addressed. THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful!

Excellent, thanks. Clear and concise.

Great job on this video 👍 you really know what you're talking about.
What program did you use to create the animations?
Thank you for the kind words. For animations I use Maxon Cinema 4d.
GREAT video but I was hoping to figure out what kind of drip screed to use over 1" of foam board. Maybe I missed it. I'm a scroller :)

Why would you not frame the window openings with plywoood, instead of stringing wire for the lath wire? I've not seen this previously.
Thank you
Thank you for watching my video!
Hi nice video. Can you please explain why there's a need to do separate scratch and brown coats? Why can't you just place a 3/4" thick single coat?
Thank you for your complement; unfortunately, applying a full ¾” coat of plaster would begin to sag and eventually fall off of the wall.
why didnt you flash the screed then overlap with the paper ? that is common practice on every jobsite ive been on
I'm into the old homes back a few months ago not sure what happen to only thing that change was the inside 💠
I think I'll keep the origam wall and just pant with thunder
Our builder painted our stucco with an Elastomeric paint. Is this the exception when painting stucco?
In my opinion elastomeric or any other type of paint conceals underlying issues that can go unnoticed until it is too late, like a roof leak, as explained in my video “Don’t Paint Stucco” ruclips.net/video/TFk8AvtjjEk/видео.html .

But I'll look want to see looks cool
Like a barn house
Isn't a Sq yd 100 Sq ft

A Sq yard is divided by 9? isn't it 10
