Day 8 of EIFS installation. Today the base coat is being applied to the now flat and smooth surface. They put a fiberglass mesh on the surface and apply Flexcrete to create that cementitious surface. This is the south-east corner.

 June 16th, 2014 June 14th, 2014Day 7 of EIFS installation. Today all the holes from the fasteners and any other uneven spots left on the walls are being filled. And all the meshes around the window / door openings are being folded and secured to the panel itself.
June 13th, 2014Today marks day 6 of the EIFS installation. No work was done on the house in the last two days due to the rain. The crew from Discover Stucco Plus is here today to rasp and shave the panels installed so that the walls are flush and corners all line up properly.
June 10th, 2014Day 5 of EIFS installation. The crew worked on getting the rest of the panels installed. By middle of the day, part of the front of the house that is EIFS cladded is all covered.
June 10th, 2014It’s has been a month since I applied for new water / sewer connection from the city and I’m getting no where close to get the work to be performed. Meanwhile because I have a flat roof and the inside plumbing is not done yet for the roof drains the water are pouring into the house every time it rains. So I decided to get some temporary remedy for it. I bought some soil pipes from Home Depot and hooked it to the roof drain.
June 9th, 2014Day 4 of EIFS installation. Blue shield application is now completed over the entire house’s surface including the 3rd floor area. The crew then started to attach foam boards to the sheathing.
June 7th, 2014Day 3 of EIFS installation. Today the real work begins. For the blue shield installation, they used the left over typar and covered my front shade and rear balcony surface first so that the deck won’t be blue afterwards.
June 6th, 2014Salman Ibili and the crew from Discover Stucco Plus is here setting up the rest of the scaffolding for stucco. Okay I call it stucco because that’s what it looks like when finished and a lot of time that’s still what people call it. But this is really an EIFS or Exterior Insulation Finishing System. I will refer them by their proper name from this point on. Today they’ve got the scaffolding completed and they will start the EIFS work on Saturday.
June 6th, 2014Got the rear entrance door installed today. It has to be installed so that the stucco work can complete on the back. The area around front entrance door will have wood cladding. So the front entrance door can wait until later. This is a very heavy door. Thermally broken aluminum door with a dual pane tempered glass. A 60″ vertical ladder pull is used as the door handle. The ladder pull is offset toward the middle of the door to give access to the lock. For the lock, it is paired with a digital lock that accepts a normal key, a key code, or a RFID tag, and it has an electric motor that will automatic lock / unlock the door.
June 3rd, 2014Today Salman Ibili and the crew from Discover Stucco Plus is setting up scaffolding here in preparation for doing stucco in the coming weeks. The plan is to have all the scaffolding done by the end of the week so that the actual stucco work can being the next week. This is how much they have on the north side.
