Installing Cultured Stone

(click on a thumbnail to see a bigger picture)
Start with a house with old siding in need of replacement,
and rip off all the siding
Insulate the house, and buy 1.5 tons of mortar
Chainmail the house with metal lathe, a lot of decking screws
and some big, honking washers
Slather the front with mortar until your neighbors think
you're going to stucco the house
Then start applying the stones and bricks in a pleasing pattern
Grout between the stones with more mortar
Don't forget to leave room for a spiffy address stone

Done!
