You will be fine i have the same unit in my 24x22. I added a ceiling fan to drive the heat down. My garage is old and not insulated well also.

I go through a few pairs a day! haha working with silica and burnt cermic fibers you change them often. Id say your good for a few days, if they are provided and free then its up to you.

The stucco has also been painted so id have to blast it for a surface to adhere to. A nice plank siding fits in more in my century old neighbourhood.

Im a bricklayer by trade and id suggest putting foam rope in there then a caulking bead to seal it up. Will allow for expansion and contraction.

Not an option sadly.
