Jose is applying the styrofoam trim to the front of the parapet walls. The top one is 4x4 inches set 8 inches down from the top of the parapet. The other is 2x4 inches set 12 inches below the upper one. The wall is prepared with a layer of bonding cement, with the foam stuck to the wall. Then a layer of yellow netting is bonded to the foam and wall, making the entire structure strong enough to stand up to the elements.













The top trim is ready for final stucco, the second awaiting netting and the final layer of foundation cement. You can see the difference in the sizes of the trim pieces.
