We might get cold about the time we need to stucco the ski cabin. Can I use Hardibacker, tape the joints with thinset and fiberglass tape, then color coat over it? What kind of wrap do I use (Tyvek)? How much will it cost (my rough calculations indicate that it might be cheaper)? Will it be faster (at least we will need fewer warm days)? Can I get and use stainless nails or do I have to use deck screws? Will the inspector buy it?
Thanks, Eric

I think that it would work. Let us know what the inspector says.
If I was to do that--
Stagger the joints.
Leave enough gap to be able to force thinset in between the joints.
Install 15# felt backing.
Moisten before applying any cement.
Do not cement or mud in direct sunlight.
