So Sam and I pulled the trigger on getting the exterior of our house redone. It definitely needed something to happen. With siding not being an option, we had to pick between paint or stucco. We choose stucco. We didn’t have too many options for stucco here in Cleveland, but after some research we found someone well reviewed, who knew their work, got a good estimate and got the work started.

Two days of pressure washing and scrapping the paint off our house and things were doing good, unitl our weather broke. Went from 80 degrees to 40 here overnight with rain, hail and snow. Can’t work with stucco during that weather. But having removed all the downspouts, and with on and off torrential rain showers, we started having water pool around our house.

So we needed some creative solutions to manage the water run-off. I think we did pretty well.
