What happens here

Begin by carefully placing the first interlocking stone veneer panel. Ensure it is perfectly level using a long level and that its interlocking mechanism (e.g., tongue-and-groove) is properly seated. Once the panel is positioned correctly, use a cordless drill or impact driver to drive exterior-grade screws through the designated fastening points or pre-drilled holes on the panel to secure it firmly to the wall. Continue this process for the entire first row, checking for levelness frequently to establish a straight base for subsequent rows.

Goal: Securely attach the initial row of stone veneer panels
