 June 18th, 2014Day 10 of EIFS installation. Thunderstorm has passed and rain has ceased. The crew came in the morning and removed the tarp.
June 17th, 2014Day 9 of EIFS installation. Today the weather forecast calls for thunderstorm in the afternoon. The crew did finish base coating the entire house. They also added a second layer of mesh on all the surfaces where it is accessible by foot traffic. I wanted to have a second layer of mesh installed to increase the impact resistance of the surface. Here below you can see multiple layers of mesh besides the 3rd floor windows.
June 16th, 2014Day 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 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 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.
