Outdoor stone work




This is a photo of the wall, mortar and the stone. The original outside walls are wood. Then they are covered with black felt paper. Then a wire mesh is stapled onto the wall. Then a layer of mortar is applied and let dry. The mortar is actually the moisture barrier, not the stone. Then the stone is applied with another coat of mortar.
The other photo is of some completed stone work on the front of the house.
