Looks great John, nice work! I can't get over that base you built for the horse, that whole project turned out awesome, IMHO.

Well John, we will just get that wood on the way. That room is far more important than the money. I have learned in my 50 years on this planet that money seems to get in the way of far too many important things.

i found out i can replace the halogen light with a LED bulb,but that aint happening soon,26 bucks,lol.
all thats left inside is the trim and marble tile window sills,i had the black marble left over from doing the window sills when we bought this place,but im going to have to be very careful,because i have just enough ,and they need cut in half with a wet saw,and marble breaks very easy with the grain. i cant wait to finish this room,lol. i just found out our faux stone is SUPPOSED to be shipped tomorrow,heck its been almost a month since we ordered it.john |

well,we finally got our stacked stone panels,made out of closed cell polyurethane,the 1st pic is of 1 panel laying n the floor,and the second is 2 pieces laying side by side,im pretty impressed with this stuff,you have to see it in person to really see just how real the stuff is,and its very,very dense.

Re:room addition/porch, faux polyurethane stack stone 12 years 7 months ago #60993

thanks ron,the panels are 2x4 feet,and interlock,and are attached with liquid nails glue and screws,im going to go out and trim around the large window with vinyl brickmold as soon as the grass drys up,i hate wet feet ,lol,lol.
then i will start installing them,i also intend on caulking all the seams just to be sure.when i install the liquid nails i will put it on vertically so IF ,any water does get in it can drain out. the first row will hang 3/4 of an inch down past the sheeting ,so it acts like a drip edge. we were very worried about ordering this stuff just from a picture,but now that i have it in my hands,it really impressive,and i have been building and remodeling homes for many,many years. lorraine wanted the concrete faux rock,but i was worried that it would be too heavy to just hang off of mesh and screws,at about 8lbs a square foot,this stuff is about 8 lbs per panel. even the fellow that sells the concrete stone told me the same thing. and the concrete faux stone company does not want it attached to osb,because it will pull out the screws. now if i were going to install it from the concrete porch floor and up,i probably would have done it,but 3 sides of the addition it would just hang from the screws,because you need a vapor barrier over the wood. |

Re:room addition/porch, faux polyurethane stack stone 12 years 7 months ago #61000

i guess if you would use the heavy stone panels you would need to put around a 6"x3' deep footer up against your foundation.

yep,ron thats the only way i would do it.
i have also seen videos of the concrete faux stone having problems with water damage,especially the dry stacked look. dont get me wrong that is what i wanted too,until i poked my nose around the internet. thanks bob,its made of closed cell polyurethane ,they even use it in fountains,and its been used in canada and alaska, its from a miami company called Antico Elements,they have a website at AnticoElements.com ,they even make a wood look siding. |
