My concern with stucco is that every house here is splattered with the stuff and I regard it as a thoroughly crap method of finishing. I've just spent months going around my house fixing cracks, house is less than ten years old. Maybe they do it different there, which is quite possible as the construction quality here is the worst I have ever seen. Also putting it directly on a block wall may be a better base than the styrofoam-chickenwire they splatter it over here. Is there not a better method of waterproofing though? How about smooth plaster?
