So old fashioned and doesn't go with the style of this house. you are correct, they don't go with this façade. But stacked stone is timeless. Just not the rubbish that comes in sheets.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This stuff comes in individual pieces and starts at 150 bucks a square meter (installation extra). This takes time and an expereinced stone mason to install properly. Both are stacked stone. One is horrid. The other is timeless.

Do you have access to NCC Part 2 or can you download it?

Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7565 |
