Looks nice. My goal for my basement is to remove old parge and expose the stone and have the stones re pointed but leave the stone exposed. I really want that old time style basement, so when I finish it and the walls exposed, it will give you old vibes. I’m trying to go for a Lord of the Rings bar setup lol.
Because it was not necessary. I would be risking the integrity of the structure by removing perfectly good and settled grout. I only wire brushed the loose grout because it was deteriorated and so I could fill it with stucco and give my mix more strength by not only doing a skim coat but actually getting into the wall as well. Less chance for cracking and more likely to hold the stucco better.
Hi, it took me at least 4 hours. I never looked up the cost to have it done by someone else. It costs up to $50 per sq ft so I’d charge around $700-$800
I used an exterior concrete paint to seal it after I applied the stucco. I painted the stucco before it was fully cured so that the paint had time to sink into any cavities in the patches. I’ve read some articles about this method and multiple sources have said it’s a viable one. Hope this helps and sorry for not getting back until now!
@@thepuresaltchannel hey so this mix your using is a better option then quickrete cement I have this issue and I'm trying to figure out how to do it right
@@atownish1488hh Good question. It depends how deep the spots are that you’re trying to fill. Cement would be good if you have deep deteriorated cavities in your foundation walls. Stucco is more for thin coats rather than trying to fill craters. Also, If it’s a part of the foundation below grade and absorbs water, Stucco is the more breathable option that is more suited for water escaping and not settling in the foundation!
I’ve noticed that my local Lowe’s no longer sells this product as (Mortar/ Stucco mix). It’s just called Type S Mortar Mix now. It’s the same product, just a different name.

@@higherho1540 I have to say I’ve never heard of that approach. Best of luck to you!
Looks way better then before, nice job 👍
Thank you very much!
Being stone shouldn't that have been a lime parging?
Sorry, just saw this. This mix had lime pre blended in it.
After a year, how has this held up
No issues with water or deterioration. Still in great shape.
Nice what kind of paint should go over this?

May I ask why you didn't take off the old grout in between the stones and put new one?

How long did it take you do. How much would it cost you if someone did it for you.

Did you apply a bonding agent before applying stucco?

@@thepuresaltchannel ok sounds good thanks
@thepuresaltchannel brand of that exterior paint?
Is the stucco/mortar mix necessary? I’m only finding mortar or stucco individually available in my area.
