Celene needs help with a stucco patch.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Her furniture was blown into her stucco and created a small hole about 1-2 inches wide.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

I recommend getting Quikrete\\u2019s premixed stucco patch

\\n

\\n

Since she lives in California (where there\\u2019s a lot of stucco) there\\u2019s a good chance Home Depot will have this product.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

She should also feather out the stucco patch with a stiff brush or sponge then paint with an elastomeric paint specifically made for stucco.

Today\\u2019s Quick Tip is about cleaning gutters and downspouts.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Do this twice a year, once in the Spring (April) and once in the fall (November).\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

This will prevent water from coming into your house and ruining drywall or finished basements.\\xa0

\\n

It doesn\\u2019t cost all that much to have someone do it for you, $40-$75 here in Pittsburgh.
