I spent a few hours on Sunday completing the second step of the outside finish: the stucco fill coat, also called the "brown coat." That is, I spent several hours on the wall, and then even more time cleaning up the huge mess that I made.
After troweling stucco onto the wall, I used a 1x6 screed board to level it out to approximately the same vertical plane as the existing walls. When I apply the final, color coat of LaHabra stucco next weekend, I will again screed the board across the wall to make it as perfect as possible.

Because of the dry weather, I need to spray a fine mist of water onto this stucco several times a day – for the next two or three days – to help it hydrate and cure into a strong wall. |
