It is time for my daily constrction question. Aftre I put my siding on do I put the black building paper on. Or do I just put on the stucco paper and wire. Some reason I though I hve seen it done with the building paper and then the stucco paper. Thanks Hat

Hat, I hope you mean sheathing, not siding. After your sheathing, put on two layers of Grade D building paper. If you can't find Grade D paper use two layers of 15# tar paper. (It comes in a double layer roll.) Then put on your wire lath. Then stucco.

Sorry that's what I meant. Sheathing. Do I put windows and doors in before I wrap? Thanks Hat
