This is in a lightwell. There are holes on the walls. There is damage behind the stucco (the framing), these holes were made to make some repairs and to determine the extent of the damage. Here are some pictures of the holes:
I need to cover these holes before it starts raining. My plan is to board the walls and seal them with caulk. So this is what I'm planning to do:
I was given advice on another board and I'm a little confused about some things.
I was told to get three different types of plywood. At different times and by different people that I need pressure treated plywood, or "exterior" rated plywood, or "Marine" plywood. Which is it? Is there a right answer or is this my choice of any of the three? Just so you know, of course this is not the answer to this problem. I just need to cover these holes while this problem is properly addressed. How long will I need these holes covered? It's hard to say, I've had a hard time getting people to come and take a look at this, so I don't know when it will be properly fixed. I'm hoping for summer 2024 but I really don't know.
I am getting galvanized screws since this is outside.
Is my plan of attack correct? What type of plywood do I need?
I would appreciate your help. I'm a newbie at this and I want to avoid paying for this. At least I want to give it a shot myself BEFORE I call an expert.
Thank you.

- Get some plywood.
- Attach it with screws.
