I went to the house this morning to open some windows and fire up the portable heater. There was a considerable amount of condensation on most of the second floor windows and some of the basement windows, so I used a stack of napkins to wipe up as much moisture as I could.

The stucco contractors were already hard at work applying the finish coat when I arrived. They were working as a concentrated group on one section of the exterior wall. That seems to be the modus operandi because they continued to work that way throughout the day, doing one section of wall at a time.
