    Nice. Here in Bulgaria (Eastern Europe) this sort of sprayed stuco is really common. People just spray it and do not try to smooth it over. It is extremely durable. Houses 40+ years look like new.

      @@mchuo7834 I can see the benefits of wood. It is fast, you got a lot of it and it is efficient. US people seem to move a lot, so longevity is not high in your list. Here we use to live our entire live in a single house, very often even one build few generarations ago. Concrete as a matter of fact has been adopted in the past 70 years. Before that brick, wood, cob and stone were the norm. Honestly I don't know which is better. I guess it is all about cost at the end.

    Just a note for your consideration. We have a townhouse in Florida that’s stucco over block. The contractor then painted it with latex paint. Apparently (this all happened before we bought it), the stucco with latex paint wasn’t waterproof and water was migrating through to the block and inside. The fix was to repaint with an elastomeric paint. That stopped the water intrusion. Future paintings can use regular latex.
    By the way, great channel. Have been following you since your appearance on some of those early Andrew Comarata videos. Your depth of knowledge and skills for a young guy is impressive.

    Great job, Jesse. I don't miss my days as a plasterer rendering houses. Looks like a great material to use and very similar to our K Rend we use in the UK. Can't paint it, and it does have a tendency to go green if trees are close to the building and the alge grows on it.
    Thanks for another year of interesting and varied content

    I agree with you. The finish coat looked far better as it was when spayed and without knocking it down with a trowel.
    On a box house that lacks any architectural detail or large (main floor) windows that would take the eye away from so much uninterupted surface area, flaws in the stucco will be much more noticeable.
    Otherwise, job well done.

    I have worked with this kind of job professionaly. What you shold do now to get a perfect finish is to get the colour sandmix product. Now I live in Sweden so I dont know exactly what products you have there. But this colour sandmix use to be able buy blended and ready to use in buckets. You spray it on. Leaves a very nice structure and even surface. Use to be several colours to choose from.

    First step you need is a plaster hawk and flat trowl. Than always start appling from bottom working your way up and down the line vertical left to right or vice versa depending on your dominate hand.. ☝☝ This will keep your drop waste down. The stuco must have the consistency of pudding or thin icing. To be able to apply it in a thin manner. Plus there's no need to apply a first coat before the mesh. It should go right onto the foam and smooshed on vertical with one coat at 1/8" to1/16" thick. 👍👍👍👍To do a knock down effect for spray on you need to lightly skim the trowl downward over the high spots knocking them flat ONLY with light pressure.👀👀It's the same as you see with plaster effects in many Hotel's. A light swipe is all that's needed.

    That mesh should help make the stucco last forever, and if there are any cracks, they will be almost invisible. Your eaves are well above most of the trees, and you have no roofing granules so the gutters should stay fairly clean. But when they do stop up, the telehandler will make short work of it.

    I’ve used the same sprayer to do texture on drywall. Best thing I’ve found is to set stop on trigger where you like the amount of material coming out. Next thing is to stand alittle farther away it avoid it being botchy. It’s trail and error to get all those dailed in. It’s drywall texture verse stucco but it’s still spraying mud on a wall.

    You can always paint on stucco if the discoloration doesn’t even out

    The blue hopper sprayer is actually for spraying popcorn ceilings.

    The stucco will stick to the foam just like that?

    friendly neighborhood stucco guy here, this was hard to watch lol but you got it done and it looks good! Stucco takes about 6 months of doing it everyday to become professional speed and quality. I know from training several guys over the past 6 years of being in the industry. You did a good job! Saved lots of money doing it yourself that’s for sure!

      Yea I am sure it takes all of 6 months to train for one style, and even more when you start doing different styles.knockdown, smooth, sand finish. Could take years to be efficient at it
