Got a few other things done like outside plumbing and electrical. All the cabinets and doors stained and finished( just ready to install them now). Also the floors are ready to put the clear coat on this evening after work.

Had a bald eagle land in the yard while we were working. He was 50 feet from us and stayed around for a while.

What did you use for the stone wainscoting and how was it installed. My wishy washy wife is starting to talk barndo again. At least for a while.

The stone is man made stone, they make it out of cement and dye it. Where the stone is, there is no metal it's all wood with a moisture barrier and mesh. Then the stone is attached to that. Basically just like bricks on a house.

Does the stone come in panels or individual stones? I've seen both where they attached it to a plywood backer. Do you know the manufacturer?

That's nice. Will stay tuned for updates

It is individual stones. I believe most stone places around where I live make their own. They can make any shapes you want. Call around different stone places and ask about man made stone.

Thanks for the info. Did you need to use anything like brick clips to hold it up and avoid peeling off the wall? How about the bottom, is there any support ledge (such as angle iron) bolted to the posts or bottom board? I'm assuming you didn't pour a brick ledge when you put in the slab? Did you go with stacked stones or morter between them like a normal install? Are they as thick as bricks or just 2" thick? Sorry I've got a million questions. Looks great BTW. We're waiting on moved in pictures.

Yes we made a brick ledge when we poured the slab. There is a wire mesh type stuff that you morter the stones to, it holds each one in place. Also there is morter between each one like any other application. Stones are roughly 2".

Waiting on an elevation certificate, then an electrical inspection. In the mean-time I'm going to play around with some trim. I think the wainscot came out looking good.
