Stone Foundation

May 12 - Day 97

And so it finally happened. . . a trip out to the house only to find something we did not like.  If you'll remember from a previous post (Stone Link), my husband was very particular about the size of the stone used in the foundation.  We made special contact with the builder and the mason about the look we were going for.  We arrived at the house Tuesday night to see this:

Now I could have lived with it, but not Daryl.  He immediately sent our builder a text that was answered by a phone call just a few minutes later.  While Daryl was explaining what he didn't like about the stone to the builder (stones are too large, mortar is too thick), the mason pulls in our driveway and after a quick chat promises to make it right.  This, my friends, is what you call good business.

Our big pile of Tennessee Natural Fieldstone.

Ready to put those bricks on top of the stone foundation!

The revised stone layout with smaller pieces and less mortar.  LOVE it!
