Well, the stucco has been redone and the roofers have returned and finished their job. Result? Well, I still don't know how the stucco looks. When the roofers finished the shingles on top of the front porch, which is just below the bricked wall with the foyer window, they finished the job by putting up the flashing to prevent leaks. The flashing is just that...flashing. It is shiny, shiny metal that runs across the front of the house like a streak. When I went to see the completed product all I saw was something shiny. Hence the reason I haven't decided how the stucco looks. I can't see the stucco for the flashing.
Imagine our surprise when we realized it was also done around the "roof" of the mudroom door and all along the back covering, too. Ugh. Great.
We are not happy with the results. At all. Basically, it looks redneck and unfinished. Tide Guy has contact the builder and roofer to try to get another solution. We do have a few options like pulling it up and installing a thinner flashing. Or cover the existing flashing with paint, vinyl, or possibly stucco. So, we'll see.
After all of this is fixed we will then be able to see the stucco and see what we think of the color. We decided on Sunday to keep it the way it is until we could see it with the trim and shingles. I really think the stucco will be okay in the long run, but right now the flashing issue is much more pressing.
In national news, the stock market is still tanking, unemployment is still rising, and the economy looks bleak. On the bright side, gas at the Race Way here is down to $1.78.
We are ready for Spring!
