This whole HVX testing is not the clearest at all for me. In the past I had on a total of 4 hostas with full-blown HVX indication of HVX during tests. I just tested 6 hostas because the Hosta Library pictures showed similar markings as I see on these 6 plants. None of the tests with Agdia HVX test strips indicated that mine have HVX. The first test strips I received 8 months ago, so they are OK to use, the last 3 I used I just received in the mail. All tests showed the Control line, that means tests are valid. There seem to be a lot of other virus around which create similar symptoms. 3 of the tested hosta leaves had ink bleed, see the link. As I read in those links of the Hosta Library, HVX can be in a plant for years before there is a symptom showing. Some hostas never show it. HVX tests might only work at full-blown HVX as in the above photos. My plants have only symptoms covering 5% on a leave. It seems even if my quarter size sample is 100% with symptoms, the virus concentration might be below the trigger for the Agdia test to indicate HVX. So I will do nothing yet.

I still don't see how water on the inside sill could be caused by the stucco installation if flexible self-adhering flashing was properly installed over the nailing fins. Has that been eliminated as a cause yet? I am suspicious that self-adhering flashing might not be used in this location. IMO exposed sealant is little more than a gap filler in the long run since the sealant will eventually need to be removed and replaced. Such details are inappropriate for buildings that will not have on-going maintenance programs, budgets and building managers. There is a price to be paid for clean modern minimalist facades and the systems are changing so fast its difficult to understand how to install them. It wasn't so long ago when window manufacturers refused to provide installation advice but then they discovered they could use it to void warranties. I think they are by far the poorest source for that kind of information. If they knew how to build buildings they would design better windows.

I cried a little at that. He's such a class act. Best wishes to him. Thanks Jasdip for posting this.
