My new garage.

It got a real bad name back then. Dryvit Systems, Inc

Yup, Dryvit got a bad reputation, but am not convinced it was the actual product's fault.

IIRC, Dryvit was a type of stucco on home exteriors. Problem was the overall system where many installations were not correct. Problems occurred when either foam or wood backing extended below the plaster and allowed water to wick upward, or flashing was not correct and allowed water to gravity feed. End result was soggy wood backing. If termites did not get to the wood first, it rotted from water and would also compromise the walls. Repairs were expensive, but once done *correctly*, everything was good.

I've heard similar stories about SIPs.
They have a lot of issues, most of which are lack of attention to detail.
