Sorry about the order of the pictures...I always seem to forget that they are in the right order when I upload them, but then when they go to blogger they reverse.
So, bottom pictures first...PJ finished the black tar paper and then moved on to the mesh wire. Lots and lots of little screws for the wire, as this is what really helps to support the rock. Then, after the wire, came the layer of mortar. Benjamin just loved helping daddy with this. He was constantly using a stick of some sort to try to stir up the mortar in the wheel barrel. After mortar was done and dry, it was time for the rock and brackets for the sill went up. The first day proved to be a bit difficult and frustrating, as the rock was not sticking. But, then PJ got it figured out and things were sticking just fine. Plus, a neighbor friend, who does this kind of stuff for a living, came over and gave PJ some pointers on different adhesives to use. PJ got to work putting on the rock. It took a bit to get the rock sorted out right and in the right positions on the house, but he got it done and it looks very nice!
