fqp25 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Warranty Inspection, noticed missing pieces of the stone veneer right by the roof. There is a fascia strip, but I don't think it provides enough protection. The Tyvek is exposed. Should the builder (or somebody) try to cut a piece of stone to fit, or can they get away with sealing this up somehow? Does anybody think the fascia provides adequate protection? (It is aluminum and very flexible) Download Attachment: fqp1.JPG 92.49 KB Download Attachment: fqp2.JPG 117.73 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It is aluminum and very flexible) I doubt that the missing bit of fake stone will make any difference to anything. Tell them to mush that crappy piece of aluminum flashing back against the stone and enjoy their ugly-ass house. - Jim Katen, Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Hi Frank..Why not just tell them to fill it in with mortar? Yes that is ugly an flashing attempt. It looks like it needs a barber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Now Now we do not know that the rest of the place is ugly,as they may have some lovely Barrier EIFS covering the rest. More likely though it will be the same as that beige siding on the neighbors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap on Crap. (Starting with the once fertile farmland which they ripped all the good topsoil off and filled with Crap) Katon is right, but it's business... If I had a choice I would rather inspect the cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Peeples Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Frank, Go to http://www.culturedstone.com/technical/flashing.asp and download the cool diagrams. That site will answer most every question you can come up with regarding fake rock and all the ways goat ropers (to quote WJ)can screw it up.
