Adding exterior trim around casement windows
I'm working on renovating a 1960's era house with stucco siding and single pane aluminum casement windows. I'd like to add 1"x 3" pine/fir trim around the outside of the windows to jazz up the appearance of the house a bit. I'm wondering about what is the best way to attach the wood trim to the stucco. Is there some kind of adhesive out there that works good? Or do I have to use some sort of concrete anchor set up? Or something else? All input is appreciated!! thanks

As near as I can tell, the stucco (chicken wire reinforced) is on the outside, with, what appears to be sheetrock directly under that, followed by black paper under the sheetrock. Then comes the 2x4 stud framing, with the interior wall covering (sheetrock).
