My basement is a stone foundation. Somewhere along the line somebody covered all the stone with what looks to be a plaster or concre...

Exterior Stucco and Insulation

I have a 1920s Stucco Tudor on a stone foundation in the NY metro area. The interior walls and the exterior stucco are sound and look good.

Exterior--peeling, damp. Safe to side?

My turn of the century farmhouse has a peeling paint problem mostly on the outside, but also inside on one side of the house. On that side, the house sits directly on the stone foundation.
