I do not understand why there is not a wooden sheet attached to the outside of the studs. What am I missing? Is this explained in a different video.

Hi, wanting to know how to repair holes and small tears in the black lath paper from the inside (drywall removed). We don’t want to remove exterior stucco wall. To stop and prevent water intrusion. Any tips? Thank you!

Hi Ken, Perhaps I missed this, but how do you attach the paper to the weep screed flange? Also, will you install the Z flashing under the weep screed on the foundation to protect the mud sill? Thanks for sharing this!

Great video - thanks for posting! QQ: i have a small area approx. 3x2 where I'm adding weep screed, and paper. Question is, can I use #30 roofing felt instead? I have some of this felt paper left over from the roof of a shed I recently completed.

Great job! Quick question. What do you recommend for houses that face the Sun all day where I need to try to keep the stucco as cool as possible bc I see cracks that develop. My assumption is that the Sun makes the wood expand which makes the stucco crack. Any ideas? Thanks
