Brian, how hard is it to work with that chicken wire to form everything? It looks like metal rods forming the corners and hooking everything together? :scratch:

The framing gets wrapped with building paper and then the lath gets rolled out and stapled in place with 1.5" crown staples every 6". The corners are then nailed on to give straight edges and set the appropriate thickness for the stucco.

The wire rolls are heavy, the paper rips easily and your hands are constantly bleeding from getting poked.... other than that it's easy peasy?

And by “smoked meats” he means Arby’s. And “premium beer”, he means ONE beer, and what ever is on sale at Costco.
 
Check your pH...you might need to add floc!

and clarifier....lots & lots & lots of clarifier!
The poor pool... It's gone from concrete to mud, saw dust, to roof tile, wire lath, and now to stucco.

Without question The Worst by far was the polyurethane rafter Tails when I had to cut and install them. The dust was a microscopic fluorescent yellow color that traveled all throughout the neighborhood. All of the neighbors thought it was some weird strain of pollen but the guy behind me knew better. We laughed one day when he said those rafters took you half a day to put up and it's taking 3 months to go away?
