Stone Work in Progress

The stone masons arrived yesterday and began to lay the stone siding.  We chose a color called "Marble Falls" and a light mortar.  It is manmade but looks very natural.  The stones are darker than on the samples used for the selection, but the light mortar lessens the effect.  We are very pleased with the result.  The stone rises about one-third of the way up the wall and will extend all around the house except for the screened porch.
