It appears we may have found a source for the exterior of at least part of the house. There is a place just a few miles away from the construction site called Stone World Outlet. They are the sister company to one that makes and sells the forms to actually make the ’stones’ - which are actually formed out of concrete and made to look like stone.
We drove by the last time we were in town and took a look at their samples, and they all looked fairly nice. Our plan is to cover the bottom portion of the house in this, and the top in James Hardie cement fiber siding - the exact colors and design will be influenced at least in part by the roof decision, but our front runners at the moment are the ledgestone designs.
The price is right at $2.90 per lineal foot for both the flat pieces and the corners.
