you got the hard part done. roofing demands a straight chalk line/roofing nails/tarpaper/shingles/stapler and beer.

stucco demands a true professional.................tar paper/staple gun(one handed whacker type stanley bostich/3/8 staples..................beer.

next schicken wire. good shears for cutting schicken wire/above stanley bostich whacker stapler and a about half a billion staples 3/8 or 1/2".................beeeer.

buy portland ceeeeee-ment at $6.78 a bag at home depot/ big rental mixer(30 bucks a day), somebody really big and stupid to mix mud. lots of beer for him. mix mud maybe 8 bags(if ya have 4 mud daubers) and add water to correct consistency, more beer, pour mud on pre set up tables and start trowling mud on. bottom to top. this is yer first coat. more beer.

next let dry for awhile/ mist some water on finished stucco to harden. drink beer.

mix more mud and repeat with second coat/ your type of finish-smooth/rough/drunk finish. drink more beer.

end of story. well forgot one more thing............save this until its 115 degrees out, youll feel like superman after yer done.
