A few years back a small section of the stucco on my home came away and was bulging out. So I went to Lowes and bought some stucco, wire lath, and tar paper. Fortunately our home was built using the old style stucco less prone to failures. I removed the lose stuff with a hammer and carefully fitted the tar paper and wire. Good news It was dry in there -I mixed the stucco applied it and darn if it didn't look too bad.
1. The color was off -its a bit whiter then the 25 year old original stuff.
2. The pattern is pretty good.
I was surveying casa RayinPenn a few days ago when I noticed the bulge... exactly between the first and second floor. Maybe 4 feet long in the middle of the right front field of the house. A couple inches but it is there and there is no denying it. First thought...There's no way a repair will match. Second thought...it will be a miracle if I can get away under $15,000 but we will see. Third thought ... An old man with one replaced knee and the other one achy should stay off ladders.
I think the house is kind of like me as you get older bad things happen... I've heard some stucco nightmare stories but complaining and worrying won't help will it...will it?
