You can see in the second and third picture were there was once a planter bed because the weep screen dropped down lower in those areas (sorry not the best pictures). Nice stamp work but same problem.
If you say "screen" in your reports and in conversations with your clients and builders, it makes you look ignorant. The term is SCREED.

Here's a course you should take: http://www.nachi.org/stucco-eifs.htm



“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
