Bad parts of this.

- expensive...well I seem to recall something called Never Rot had a price
tag.

- If trim board is rotting, that's a nice warning that something is wrong.
Fix before rafter caps get damaged.

- If it was a no rot, rafter caps and worse, walls would be rotting and
everything would look fine from outside. Big $ by the time it shows up
inside.


Prime trim board front and back and on end after final cut.
Paint, including edges.
Always 45 cuts on lap joints. No butt joints.
Caulk overlaps and ends.
Must have drip edge overhanging trim, rakes and eaves.
Use galvanized nails
Inspect anually.

Gutters can cause havoc with trim if improperly installed.

Trim boards installed correctly won't rot.

BTW, 2x4 for fascia boards??? Usually are 1-by-x.
        1x4 small
        1x6 nominal
        1x8 large

Just my .02. I am a professional wanna-be :-)

Exterior Latex has been the standard for as long as I can remember,
its recommended and works on concrete and Stucco, Latex expands and
contracts. There are jobs ive done 25 years ago that are fine. Its
industry standard to use quality exterior latex on stucco.

I'm leaning towards that, it will be easier since I believe the
elastromeric cannot be sprayed on wood, that means I'd have to spray
the eves with latex, then clean, then spray the stucco.

elastomeric (fancy name) paint = acrylic latex.

Yes it is suitable for wood... can be sprayed... it's what I use on my
stucco.
