I often wonder...

how things get done or made. I can always use my discoveries in my writing. At the end of my street they are re-stuccoing a building.

One of the men put on the stucco in a pretty pattern. Then the other smoothed it. 

No big thing knowing, just a moment of "oh yeah, that's how it's done." 

You have to click on the photo to see the pattern before smoothing.
