FIG. 18 is a bottom plan cross-sectional view of the weep screed of FIG. 10 taken along line 18-18 shown in FIG. 12.

The broken lines in FIGS. 1-7 and 9-18 are included for purposes of illustrating portions of the weep screed or environmental structure that form no part of the claimed design. The weep screed is shown with symbolic breaks in its length and in the height of one of its flanges. The symbolic breaks are depicted using dash-dot lines and brackets. The appearance of any portion of the weep screed between and including the break lines forms no part of the claimed design. In addition, it is to be understood that the regions between the dot-dot-dash broken lines on the surfaces of the upper flange and the dot-dot-dash broken lines themselves are unclaimed surfaces that form no part of the claimed design.
