Call it how my DNA works.People do not do their own surgery; you find a qualified doctor even if it takes more than one opinion to find someone.

Crews will typically provide their own china and silverware or just make due with paper plates and plastic sporks.

They are 60+ years old and waiting on a major leg surgery and have various health problems.

In Georgia, the HVAC company plops down a plastic pallet and puts the AC condenser on it.

You are not dealing in plastic monopoly houses, and you are setting the stage for real people to live their real lives.

It would be PAINFULLY obvious when a fake doctor walks in to perform surgery that they aren't who they say they are.

If not, plan on it costing more as there will need to be plastic laid out for 20 feet from the structure, signs posted, and the painter will need to wear a spacesuit, respirator, and gloves.

It means going through a lot of rolls of plastic to seal surfaces.  

They just informed me now (March 2, 2023) that one of them is having open heart surgery (pre-planned).

Maybe the water is getting in from behind the front bricks and in front of the inside bricks.If the walls are a sideways brick thick, they may be a double brick wall back to back with tie bricks holding them together (old fashioned way of building) vs modern veneer.Sometimes during construction the first floor is made with even wider walls to accommodate future upper stories.The layers of bricks will not have mortar between them (most likely, but who knows).So if you have water intrusion up higher, it may come down there and leak out behind the stucco and when it freezes bingo stucco pops off.The intrusion could follow an old window casing down and leak in a hidden spot under the sill and flow down, or on an angle.If you are using a good stucco contractor and he is baffled, this might be it....or it might not be it....Maybe affixing metal lath to the area might help--but if it is a water issue,,,that water will have to go somewhere, and if its bundled between the bricks when it freezes...the bricks might pop.Maybe shield the areas really well with plastic duck taped up there, and if the brick is wet or the taped cover holds water when you open it after a storm...you may have figured it out.
