I ou know from your own experience that home buyers "shop" on the streets. Every enduring stucco job that keeps its good looks is a silent salesman for you. And the more such jobs there are, the higher stucco volume will climb. Make every house you build a "demonstratort' for the beauty and weatherproof durability of stucco. Here are more of the rules for doing the job absolutely right. See that the structure is rigid and well-framed insist on a good base . protect horizontal surfaces with pro. jecting trim . place non-corrosive flashing at all points of possible moisture entrance position reinforcement so that it will be completelv embedded in the mortar use only stucco made iith pitrtland cetnent or unter-proofed portland cetnen, t'or all seals-rnb(sfl, applied and cured according to approved methods.
