A house I just bought has a four foot brick wall on either side of the stairs at its entry. The brick walls have been covered with wire mesh and cement smoothed over. It isn't stucco, just smooth cement.
The original walls are not in that bad of shape. Only one has damage.
Should I remove the semi stucco and try to repair the original walls underneath, or put some thin brick over the stucco.
How about 20 photos and an architects and engineers report First. It amazes me how stupid people can be to assume anyone can even try a half assed guess without even seeing a property let alone a photo. Get Real and hire a local pro..
m Ransley,
You've spent way too much time in your crawl space and its made you grumpy. Perhaps you should leave this newsgroup for a while. You may want to take some of your own advice and "...see a pro", if you get my drift.
I dunno, a fake brick wall over a cement facade over a real brick wall?
Sometimes, it's just better to start from scratch.
Greetings,
Put thin brick over the stucco if you are SURE IT IS WELL ATTACHED.
Quick and Dirty: You could also opt to, don't laugh, paint brick onto the stucco.
Hope this helps, William
