I didn’t appreciate the importance of stucco until I walked into 286 Chestnut after the asbestos abatement process was finished and noticed how drafty a house is with its skin stripped off. Makes you appreciate what the pioneers must have felt when they built their log cabins and before they found material to caulk the cracks!
Here’s a gallery of “during” and “after” photos showing just how involved the abatement process was.
