CheckItOut Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Some builders here are starting to install a weep screed in the cultured stone (wood framed wall behind stone). This house (new const) has one but they buried it in mortar. Better than nothing at all. Click to Enlarge 57.79 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randynavarro Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I really can't see what that is for sure. Is it actually a screed or an attempt at some sort of control / expansion joint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobC Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 What you are looking at is a garden variety drip flashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenT Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 There should be a flashing to allow water to drain. If the irregular shape is a problem, cut or arrange the stone to create the straight line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
