" Right now we're installing a new man made stone from Owens Corning and let's say hi to Mark Murphy about mark -- to see it. This is looking very good we've got a crew of eight guys here they're doing a terrific job what is this particular stone calls. This does -- cultured stone from Owens Corning as a manufactured product. Designed to go right on the foundation to create the look that the entire foundation is actually built out of -- Estonia and in terms of the shading in the coloration becomes real close to some of the boulders that I've got on the -- absolutely very indigenous Bob to the area of New England if you look back and take a look at some of the larger stones what's it made out of cultured stone being a manufactured product it's made out of three things first -- we take a mold of natural stone and what we do was put in Portland cement as the main ingredient secondly we diffuse the weight Bob with a product called -- which is a volcanic stone right it lighter and thirdly you put in mineral oxides specifically iron oxides to give the -- that report. How do you make it. We make it stood in a mold process we actually extract stones out the earth we go to -- stone quarry and get a series of stones. And and we put them out and a large teflon table left they've been washed and ready to go. And we spray them what a fine mist of latex. But latex like to go into the nooks and crannies. And get some of the character of the stone Bob so that we can make it look identical to what's out in the field. And then once we've covered the entire table in these stones with this latex membrane leaflets upside down a week and -- ingredients are those your most directly related as utilities -- physical clone stones Bob and actually just -- legitimize the business for folks that don't know what manufactured stone is all about. These are both southern alleged else as you look at them very similar. Nearly impossible to tell the difference and -- pretty identical have you try to tell the difference of one on one hand. It's got the coloration. You know yeah on the same side but this is clearly a lot -- considerably -- area OK and on the backs that you can see where it's been cut. You notice that in showing -- I don't you don't -- is out of an -- that for that reason very neat. Now let's talk about installation over it. This is our foundation. Brenden is installing again a blend of dressed fieldstone to be a larger stones and our southern -- throughout this. Color your specifically is called bucks county. Southern ledge stone and dressed fieldstone. And we use a type N mortar Brenden has a type N mortar mixed up right here in back butter the stones and go right up against the foundation -- is -- tight end border. Mortar type N mortar mix is what you see here is Portland -- some mixed with approximately three scoops -- of of sand inferior standard -- It's standard if standard mortar stand out the actual picking and choosing of the pieces is something that's totally up to Brenden and and our colleagues here. They kind of create the pattern and the design as big. All along exactly that's part of the artistry of masonry work in general if you take all the stones that we ever they're all spread out and -- work area the guys will select them as they go along. And just turns out to be a beautiful look and a very artistic imprint that the individual mason can put up can you use this indoors. Regardless of the substrate Bob indoors outdoors does not matter we can go over block foundation poured foundation can go over plywood yeah the main reason I -- is the weight factor if it doesn't weigh much I would think you'd be able to put -- on inside -- partition and not have to worry about structural close -- you can see here at the bottom were actually bracing it up just to get our core started but there's actually no need for -- There's no need for you ledge or any type of angle iron because there's no load bearing at all I think that when it's taken away and we bring the grade up to normal. That'll just sit on -- what fuels are right on Braden pretty much everybody the look at this project -- think the entire foundation is actually made out of itself what about the cost mark. The cost relatively speaking when cultured stone is installed is roughly 50% the cost of natural stone."
