The sad part of all this is they are all pointing the finger at everyone else.
http://www.edmontonjournal.com/Busin...207/story.html The biggest finger pointer is the city. The city does the code inspections and have the authority to order the work redone if it does not meet the code. If it's not in the code then it must not be used and the code inspector must order it removed. In my opion if the inspector has the authority he also has the responsibility.

I have only seen two homes where it (EIFS) was installed correctly at the time of construction. We have whole neighborhoods with EIFS installed wrong. "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill |

The need to look real close at how the moisture barriers and flashings were installed and quit blaming stucco for all the problems.
