It's hard to tell in the pictures, but some of the wall doesn't come down far enough to the carpet and you can see a gap. I was hoping I wouldn't need baseboards, but I do. That's the next step now.
While they were doing that, Dad and I put up the top coat of stucco on the living and dining room windows. First, bonding agent is painted on. Then the stucco is applied and smoothed out. After that, with a sponge, it gets feathered to help blend with the existing. Finally, a broom is swept across it to give it a texture that should match the original.
Mom filled some exterior wall crack with elastomaric caulk. That should expand and contract with the weather and hide the crack, keeping it sealed. Dad put the wire around the door so that it can be stuccoed this weekend. I measured the perimeter of the three rooms needing baseboard so that could be purchased. All in all, a good day.
