My new addition foundation is insulated from exterior with 2" XPS
sheets glued to the foundation. How do I cover these sheets to finish
the foundation? The foundation is moistly below grade with between 1'
and 2' above the grade. It is already back filled so I do not have
access to entire perimeter down to footings.

I did some google search and found Foundation Coating Cement. I have
never heard of it before. The house will have hardi board siding.


Stucco is often used for this. Has to be flashed carefully, and if
there are termites in your area you will need a termite barrier.
