and the facade goes on

The cement board has many steps. The first step is putting a liquid primer on the masonry blocks - as seen in this photo.

The second step is adhering the Grace Product Perm-A-Barrier to the block. While this is being done the treated lumber that frames the window openings is being capped with a matte black metal capping. We worked with a local metal fabricator to get the exact profiles that would fit over the wood.

This photo shows the finished metal capping.

Then comes the metal furring strips.

As the cement board is fastened the scaffolding is coming down exposing the finished facade.
