Stucco lath

Day 1 of stucco siding...
Two layers of grade D building paper, then 1.5" x 17ga wire mesh stapled with 1" crown staples (which are not as good as large-headed spacer nails). There's a blotchy area above the bay roof, which is supposed to get flashing instead of weep screed -- to be corrected before scratch coat. Still passed inspection!

While that was happening, I made the access door. Hinges were left over from an earlier project. Still need some sort of knob or pull.
