Interesting Construction Technology!

My real estate contact in Texas, sent me this article I though of interest to this group.

Many newer homes are now being sided with artificial stucco siding, or EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems). This is essentially polystyrene foam with a base coat, reinforcement mesh, then another base coat and then a finishing coat of stucco over the top. This is a terrific product, as it adds insulation value to the home, not to mention classy looks. However, it can also be a serious and very expensive repair if it isn't installed correctly and/or water gets behind it. There are several manufacturers of artificial stucco, and many builders installing it. Having it inspected allows you to know if there is a problem, and even if there isn't, you will be aware of the areas you need to keep caulked, and what to look for in case of trouble. Get more information on improperly installed EIFS right here.

This type of infromation is of public interest as well and might represent opportunities in the future for businesses to sponsor Just Trade Leads blogs and events.

Meeting tomorrow will be at Russ' on River (North Side)!

I will see everyone tomorrow at Russ' on River (North Side), at 9:00 am. Please, attend and bring someone new with you. It is very important, as our group needs to reach "critical mass", before we can start having more flexibility and skip a meeting here and there. HEHEHEHE :-)

Last week we decided that each one of us was going to post an article of the group's interest in the month of January 2007. Please, post your valuable contribution, as we need to make this JTL blog a "place to hang out" to attract and retain visitors. That is when we will start getting some extra leads that will come from the "outside world."

Take care, and I'll see you all tomorrow!
