The house was built by an architect, and has lovely details, but some
construction was badly done.  They have had a leaky roof - flat, of course -
for some time, but when it was repaired this time - not the first time - it 
was
found that water had leaked down inside the walls and rotted out the plywood
behind the stucco.  He had just replaced some large floor-to-ceiling 
windows,
but when the stucco came down these were damaged and must also be
replaced.  He is in the middle of major repairs and reconstruction.  And his
wife really wanted a more 'trendy' house in a development.  Oh well.  She is
his problem, not mine.

Auralie,
Maybe November will be warm like it has been for the last few years.
That way he can complete his project. Did the stucco need to be replaced
due to hail or birds?
