I mean, isn't there a way to calculate this with a given quantity of water passing through a given amount of soil to determine its porosity by timing it and then using a standard scale? (Or something like this.) I want to decide whether or not to lighten soil by adding sand or compost to it or make it more dense by adding topsoil.

I have stucco board as my siding. My friends told me that systhesis stucco (eifs) is in big trouble and it hurts the property value. My inspection report has the stucco board as a different check box than eifs so I think these 2 are different. Can somebody tell me whether these 2 are the same or different for sure? And if they are different is there any complaints about stucco board as siding material? Thank you.
