[papercreters] exterior covering

Hi Bobby,  you are  right lime will help but are mixing up a painted on lime wash with lime plaster.   a wash isn't even done  x2 years, it can be 5 or more years, but always safer to spray or paint on a thin coat when you think needed, and always more  coats on the 'weather side' of a house where the most wind/rain prevailing weather hits it..

 a lime plaster will last decades, and may be the best choice for long term and looks good too.
cement plaster may hold the rain water  too long and soften the papercrete, causing spalling and failure if it stays wet too long.


Bobby said:
 "One approach is something like a lime plaster that will allow the moisture to pass through it. Unfortunately, you will have to re-apply every year or two.
 
Anyone with experience with any of these?"
