lol... Affordable == not a lot more $$$ than a sheetrock finish.  
Waterproof sheetrock would be the ticket.  Green-board gets a thumbs 
down... will crumble just like sheetrock with constant exposure to 
humidity (so I am told).

An empty lot.  Wallowing in the ever-enjoyable 'decide which builder is 
not pulling my leg' phase.

Real stucco?  Or synthetic stucco?  The real stuff never crossed my 
mind... I forgot it existed, to be honest.  Synthetic is about the only 
real option I have found.

Indeed.  A dedicated heat pump and a Thermastor Hi-E dehumidifier are 
already in the budget.
