| Wood and cement are not a good
match. The wood needs to be separated from the stucco or concrete some
how or you will have to expect some sort of damage to the building
latter on. The stairs in the picture above look like they where built
after the building stucco was done. One of the problems here is the
white arrows pointing to a water wood problem. When it rains the water
that hits the wall will roll down in between the stairs and the wall
going under the stairs with no place to drain off to. The water will sit
in this unexposed area creating mold and mildew creating a musty smell.
