Jerry. What can I say your a master of exaggeration.
My comment mentioned one whole. Where did you get the HI going around poking holes? I would think the Liability would be a lot more if Scott failed to identify the EIFS than one tiny caulked hole. I actually posted the awl thing to get some feedback as around here I have only run across EIFS twice and wondering if this is an option. Obviously you say no.
