The detailed woodwork on the porch adds beauty and detail to this project.
The shutters also change the appearance of the house.
A close-up picture of the corners. The wide return of “L-Shaped Thin
Veneer Corners” gives the illusion of a solid thick stone wall, like
they used to build 200 years ago. When you see some returns
ranging from 5 to 10 inches it makes the stone wall look very solid
and strong. 50 years ago a customer wanted her stonework to look
like it was structural, rather than veneer… thanks to her decision,
because it created a vision in our hearts for amazing corners and
now our customers receive what they deserve even without asking for it.
Even though the “Weatheredge Limestone Ledgerock” has all been
sawn to 7″ heights, with the mortar joints brought close to flush
with the surface of the stone, and because the stone has some
chipped edges, some mortar was pressed into some of the indents.
This took away the total perfectly sawn edges appearance and
added age to the laying style giving the customer the look they wanted.
Stonework around the vent. Notice the added detail under the roof.
Imagine how happy the stone mason was to get to lay this project
with the Weatheredge Limestone, all cut to equal 7″ heights. Also notice
some of these pieces even after being shipped all the way from Canada
to Tennessee… are still up to 2′ long. A mason’s dream for high speed
laying. I am sure he was happy since there was over 10,000 sq.ft.
awaiting him when he entered the project.
