Apply Natural Stone Veneer

Start mixing some mortar. Type S mortar. Uh, I was actually got that instruction from the guys at the stone place. Type S works really well for stone. So, we were not that wrong. Or did we use type N on the previous one? I don't remember. I think it was type S. In my brain, I was like, "Type S, type T type super." So, the pros told me this, and they said I could use this as my grout as well. So, typically whenever people install stone on the exterior, and by the way, I'm no professional at this by any stretch of the ma imagination, so don't hold that against me, is uh on the side of the house cuz it's OB, they will put a um what do they call it? Carbon paper down. And then they will put uh metal lath over it, which helps kind of stay keep the mortar on. Uh then they'll do a scratch coat which basically creates grooves along horizontally. It stays on. Uh and I've tried both and definitely the scratch coat and lathe works perfectly. However, we are on a time crunch. This is supposed to be a 5day build and I'm not going to lie to you guys and tell you, oh, we did this in 5 days. When really it took us a week. So, we're going to skip on that. This is concrete. If I work from the bottom up, hopefully everything will stay and not shoot ourselves in the foot. But we'll see. Anything can happen. You just have to wish upon a star. I think we're ready. Nothing to it but to do it. Trick that a stone guy once taught me is that you spray some water on the stone to keep from moisture from escaping way too quickly, therefore not drying off your mortar too quick. Put about an inch down. Spread it out. Clean up our edges. And then we're supposed to do one little squeeze out. And that creates a vacuum pressure. Looks good to me.

That's my sweet neighbor across the street, Rob. He uh we don't know each other that well just cuz we've lived here for only like about 6 months. And uh yesterday he knocks on my door and he asked me, sweet old retired man, heart of hearing, asked me if I could hang a picture in his house because his wife won't trust him. He has some elderly issues. And uh…
