RE: Stone Skirting

I think I will be trying the stone facade. I have to design my frames to allow for some slope in the property and I am contemplating some cement pads to work off of.

Stone Skirting

I was thinking of making a stone skirting for our home by framing out some hardiboard and cementing thin stones on top of it. We have 25 acres of rock out here so there's no shortage of materials! :?

Shower trim
