Hey, quit letting the Cat out of the bag, would ya----

[Carl Brown]

I must have missed the cat what bag was it in?

It must have been in the foam bag the guy was sitting on and got out the other end.

Probably put that top piece of foam out of that bag on the wall with his but print in it and it will make a low spot in the wall or cause more rasping to feather it out.

What are the REAL advantages with EIFS considering all of the maintenance costs over the approx. 20 year system life?

I'd really like to hear his replies...

I will ask him exactly those questions Barry, lots of us would like to hear the answer. If anyone else has questions... send 'em to me!
For some reason I don't always get notified of replies to message board threads.

Yep lots of bad stuff here along with examples of things done correctly. In the area with no kickout we cut away the OSB so we can spray it with water and watch it leak.

We're going to install more ledger over the completed EIFS, then overtighten the bolts and partially crush the EIFS. There is a lot going on with these walls, pretty fun to design and put together!

This is going to be an awesome course Kenton. I can't wait to take it!
