Stucco For the Bedrooms

This post has two videos (because I had too much footage) and a lot of good pics in the gallery.

The videos

The first video is about applying the scratch coat.  This actually took most of the time because we spent a lot of time trying to make everything nice and smooth over the rough shotcrete and lath walls.  After getting the wall the right shape, we would use a special tool to “scratch” the stucco so that the next layer would have nice ridges to grip on to.  Here is that video.

The second video is for the brown coat.  This is a smoother coat that we applied over the scratch coat.  It was easier because most of the work to get the right shape was done with the previous layer, but it did have the challenge of getting a nice smooth finish, which was particularly tricky because we were not out there for enough hours at a time…  Here is the video to explain.

The lessons learned

We really learned a lot of useful stuff while doing this project and it certainly can’t fit into the videos, but I’ll try to put some of it here….

I’ll come back and fill this in later (promises promises)

The Gallery

This is the part most of you wanted to see anyway…  I try to tell a story with the captions.
