EIFS installation day 6

Today marks day 6 of the EIFS installation. No work was done on the house in the last two days due to the rain. The crew from Discover Stucco Plus is here today to rasp and shave the panels installed so that the walls are flush and corners all line up properly.

The grooves between the panels are now hardly visible after foam boards are rasped and all the uneven spots between panels are now removed.

The Roxul panels cannot be rasped like the foam board. So uneven spots are shaved off.

Today is probably the worst day in terms of EIFS installation. The rasping of the foam boards cause these small foam piece to go just about everywhere.

After it is done, it looked almost like it just snowed. As much as I like the EIFS finishes, I really wish there’s a better way that wouldn’t produces all these foam particles.
