Stucco

Not only did the cinder block replace the old damaged adobe, when it reached the roof line it the contractor tied or connected the roof to the new outside layer of brick so that the whole building is tied together.

On the front or north side of the building where they did not need to go all the way up with new cinder block there places where you could see how the old and new bricks all came together, where the old stucco had cut away.

I was surprised how thick the stucco layer was over the top of the brick.

You can see where a lot of the wood had been removed from under the roof, all the trim was also removed. It ended up being stored in the chapel until we had Living Home Construction & Design, come out to sort through everything.  Some of the trim was damaged when removed and some was too weather worn to reuse.  The good stuff was cleaned up and had a primer coat put on it until time for it to put back on along with the new milled pieces.

The wood trim will have to wait until the new stucco has been completed though.  The first layer of which went on last week.
