Words of advice from Inspector12
Inspector12 who runs www.NewHomeBuildersNewsBlog.com sent me a note, with some great advice that I intend to follow:
Craig,
When you do attend the mentioned meeting be sure to: take copious notes, don't be afraid to ask point blank questions (don't accept generalized - everything, everyone, is this way) - answers to your questions, don't be sidetracked by irrelevant and minor points that you can see they will easily cede to you in an attempt to draw you away from the major problems and complaints you intend for them to address, and remember above all else; no-one at this meeting has your interests in mind except yourself no matter how loudly the builders and it's representatives claim to the contrary. Never give-up! All builders intend on wearing you down until you quit; that's money in their pockets'. And know that what you are doing here not only benefits you but will undoubtedly help others in the same predicament. Continue to post and continue to fight the "Good Fight." Good luck!
Think I will need to go get a new note pad and pen for the note taking!!

You may be interested in reading the following free report on stucco application in Alberta.

The study was undertaken to prove that 2 coat stucco performed adequately in an attempt to get the building code changed. You will note that the building code was not changed after the study was completed (or terminated prematurely?) Also, the Alberta Home Builders tried to spin this study in a positive light that it did not find any specific problem with 2 coat stucco jobs, but my reading of the study is that they actually found much larger problems with the quality of stucco in Alberta.
