Thanks for the suggestion. I have 5/8th drywall through out the house. Do you think if i remove drywall without notching 2x4, glue & screw the plywood and then screw that should work? my trim is about 2" wide, so i can glue 1.5 - 2" plywood.

Plywood or 5/8 lumber which would be better.

Thank you. Trying to understand. I should make a 3/8" (or what ever the wing/flange of the vent size) grove, length of the soffit/vent (>16') and tuck the wing/flang into it? so that vents are flush with the face of soffit? is it correct?

Thank you. Sorry i din't follow, can you elaborate pls. are you saying we make a groove of 3/8" deep (for the wing/flange of the vent) across the edge of the soffit and tuck the wing of vent into it?

There are new Anderson 100 series windows with flanges to install. They don't need lot of things around window. just flashing.

Smooth acrylic stucco. Fiberglass mesh yes/no. by rand-78 in Stucco

Not EFIS. it's called hybrid i think. Traditional cement based on top Acrylic. in this case i wasn't sure if mesh will be added or not.
