Photo 1: a base coat (blue) for the new EIFS siding has been added to the southeast corner of the building (auditorium area).

Photo 2: at the very top of the building, a crew member applies a weatherproofing coat (black) at the edge of the roof and side walls to prevent water intrusion. Weatherproofing will be applied at all seams of the building.

Photos 3 and 4: on the northeast corner of the building (auxiliary gym area), stripping of the old EIFS is well underway.

Photos 1-3: up on the scaffolding, crew members burn off the remaining styrofoam, while below, others mix the "mud" that will be placed over the exposed walls.

Photo 1: a crew member builds up the scaffolding near the HVAC mechanical units at the back of the school to prepare this area for EIFS removal.

Photo 2: in the first area (theater), nearly all of the EIFS styrofoam layer has been removed.

Photo 1: scaffolding and netting now wrap the full corner of the auditorium building for EIFS replacement. The netting keeps the removed EIFS close to the building.

Photo 2: crew members work along the scaffolding to remove the EIFS.

Photo 3: removing the EIFS requires scraping off the top hard coating, then the styrofoam underneath.

Photo 4: the remaining glue along the side of the building will need to be scraped off before adding the replacement EIFS.

Scaffolding surrounds the corner of the building where the first section of the EIFS siding will be replaced.
