Default Adequate weep screed?

I guess this is a type of weep screed but the ones that I usually see have holes in them. Anyone familiar with this type of weep screed?

John,

Thats not weep screed it is called caseing bead/66/stop/and also j-trim. It just depends on who you are talking to.

They do how ever make it with holes in the bottom and western-onecote considers it a weep then.

Here's some more pictures. I would have expected the stucco to terminate two inches above the upper deck with a weep screed at the base.

This installation just looks wrong to me but I don't speciale in stucco applications.

For me I would rather look at the 66 then weepscreed. I think weep screed is over rated.

Can you see the little oblong holes in the 66?

As per ASTM specs you are right.

These are the rest of the pictures that go with the one of the 66 with the holes in it. This house has defective stucco.

And in your pictures it looks like the windows are improperly installed as per ASTM and most window mfgrs.

I don't see it Carl.

Is that a sad attemp at counter flashing? It the moisture barriers and flashing were correct down to the rimjoist of the deck that is cosmetic for the most part. They might have known the flashing wasn't correct and thats their fix. Counter flashing with stucco doesn't work as well as it does with brick and stone.

That looks more like a piece of plastic base board trim to me just to keep them from scuffing the bottom of the wall with chairs.
