@Kalyb Coats Now what fun would there be in that?  

The steps he recommends:1) carefully peel and/or cut off any peeling or damaged spots. 2) use lightweight joint compound or one time spackle over the damaged areas, let it dry3) sand the damaged areas to blend in.4) use a high quality oil based primer over all of he wall paper.5) paint over primer with two coats of high quality latex paint.Good luck!

Special screws are made for this application and are coated and the threads are course for the best grip.I have had problems with guys not putting enough screws in and trying to save money and the other is using the thinnest cement board over spongey framing.

2) in a coat or shirt breast pocket, Not sure if I want him close to my heart.

Skim coating the damage is easy enough but matching any existing texture is the tough part.

A little power washing and a coat of paint can last you 10 years. take the siding money you saved and just do soffit and facia .    

My response was to put on a sweater or coat and I will call someone tomorrow.

Electricity would also finished the panel with all of the individual fuses connected to the wiring and then labeled.The HVAC person would also be finishing up his installation with the vent covers and anything else still missing.Outside the stucco would be getting its color coat if it wasn't previously applied.

@Jacob Coates I did go and speak with her face-to-face in January.

We use primer on the ceiling as the final coat.
