Thanks to all. Home is in El Paso Texas. Rain not really an issue. The
settlement will go to fix all the inspection findings, not the aesthetic
change to the exterior. Guess when all is said and done, we want this
house to look different than what we originally bought.... just into the
looking stage at this point, not ready to proceed at this time... your
comments about getting the bad issues fixed are a must.

Thanks Again,

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.
