Bad Stucco

I have personally seen builders try to replicate the look so the top matches the bottom. I have also gone behind inspected homes the client thought was block all the way due to what they were told by realtors and those who inspected the homes based on that assumption.

They were quite shocked in the days that wall construction mattered on wind mits when I informed them more than 1/2 their homes were stick

I have seen a few like that, but it isn’t cost effective to frame out a bunch of 2 x 8 walls. It is a lot easier to do it in block.

I have also run into several homes that were listed as cbs, but were either frame, tilt-up, royal wall or something else besides cbs.

Looks like some kind of improper, hollow sill stucco’d over.
