Here is a job that was done by someone who did not know how to properly apply stone. The job is about 3 to 4 months old. This is new construction. Notice the dark brown area of the wood? This is the start of wood rot. Flashing was incorrect, the wrong moisture barrier was used, The metal lathe was not coated with mortar. The installer broke so many cardinal sins concerning water control. If this problem was not revealed at this time, this home would have had to be rebuilt.
If you plan on applying stones or any exterior siding, get some professional advice or let the pros do what they do best, install the product. This is what I call "the price of non conformance." What would be the total cost of the home if you had to build it twice?
