Howdy, guys and you two gals; this video explains how to apply exterior lath on walls before installing instant hot water or electrical boxes.
 
I use 2 Ply Kraft. This means a 2-layer spot glued, so they stay together.
 (Grade D) for my weather-resistant barrier. Its function is to prevent water from contacting the plywood sheathing and studs. Wet wood will rot, while metal will rust. Therefore both must be kept dry. No one wants to deal with mold or mildew.

 The idea with 2 layers is that 2 layers offer a built-in drainage plane for the wall system.
 So water can escape.
 Bad stucco wrap can cause water intrusion in walls, which leads to mold.
Another reason is if the outer layer fails, you still have the inner layer. 
Plus, 2 layers are easy to apply because they’re spot-glued and won’t separate as you staple them.
