Is cracking like this in stucco normal? How do I maintain or repair this? (hexbear.net)

No, hairline cracks in stucco are not normal. The finish coat stretches. The lath underlayment secures everything from movement. It is cement, but not the same as a slab, walkway etc.

I was a plasterer for a decade or so before i left it to be a plumber.
