SB: Re: Stucco breathability issue help



In one of the articles at this site  <A HREF="http://www.swarthmore.edu/es/strawbale.html";>Swarthmore College Strawbale House 
Project</A> they mentioned that moisture is a big issue with Straw Bale 
construction and walls that are completely sealed can hold moisture and cause 
the straw to rot or break down. Is there a stucco that breathes so this 
problem doesn't occur? The school took the straw bale house appart and found 
moisture related problems after a few years. It's an interesting article. 
Thank you in advance for your help.
