In the last blog I mentioned I was out of business because the stucco sprayer broke. Well the parts arrived and I'm back in business. I stuccoed another wall making me 60% done with the stuccoing. The results are shown in the pics below.
This time I completely disassembled the sprayer and cleaned off the stucco.
I have also started thinking about paint and have decided to paint the facia, drip edge, wood gable ends and doors blue. I will never paint the stucco. I bought some Sherwin Willianms weather shield paint which protects against cracking, mildew and algae. It also can be applied to metal and wood.
Even though I have less than 400 square feet to paint, I also bought a Wagner airless paint gun for the job. I figured it would make the job easy especially where the drip edge overlaps the facia. I was set to do the paint job this weekend but it looked like it was going to rain so I pressure washed the back of the house instead.
In the back is the cedar covered porch. When I was pressure washing, I though that right before I stuccoed would be a good time to re-coat the cedar with oil since I don't want it to get on the new stucco. FRo the most part it does not need it but there are a few areas (mostly the sun exposed areas) that do. This means next weekend I will try out the Wagner paint gun with the oil. It has a paint and stain setting. Not what I originally envisioned using it for but I think its going to work out really nice.
That's all for now.
Happy Building,
The Dr
