Liz the Squeak	BS: what do you know about stucco? (36)	RE: BS: what do you know about stucco?	13 Sep 10
So is stucco like pebbledashing? A layer of plaster/mortar skimmed over a house and small pebbles pushed into it whilst wet, drying to form a rough textured coating? Great fun to do (literally dashing or throwing pebbles at a wet plaster wall) but a pain in the ass to patch or paint. Not too bad if you can get enough pebbles (how many shingle beaches did we lose due to the craze for pebbledashing in the 1930's) but crushed rock often has nasty sharp edges just waiting for the unsuspecting drunkard to lurch against it... I lost a huge chunk of skin off my cheekbone that way once - and I was sober! LTS
