Mid November stucco
Another Chinook and we are able to use every day available to us to finish a major stage of the exterior, the scratch coat. The current plan is to wrap up the stucco this weekend and then demobilize the scaffolds and return the rental fencing. At this stage of the project the rental fencing is just a huge hassle to deal with. The rental fencing is basically universally hated as a useless obstruction. It somehow became necessary to use due to concerns about safety. My view is that anyone who trespasses into a jobsite can suffer the consequence of their travels. And anyone who intends to trespass into a job site can open a fence. The situation is just another ridiculous cost applied to inner city building.
And the scratch coat is done as of mid November. I think it is the latest I’ve ever been able to do stucco. Heating and tarping the entire building is possible but that is a lot of work and expense we’d rather avoid. We do have the issue of the acrylic finish coat to do and that may wait for spring.
