In meantime, we desire to change the exterior appearance of the house. *We

or brick veneer right over the stucco? *What would be the benefit of full
brick over brick veneer?

Thanks,

It would cost alot more than you think becuase its alot of work and
material. To start with the brick needs a foundation below grade it
doesnt have to hold the weight.
