Missing Stone Veneer

[fqp25]

Warranty Inspection, noticed missing pieces of the stone veneer right by the roof. There is a fascia strip, but I don't think it provides enough protection. The Tyvek is exposed.

Should the builder (or somebody) try to cut a piece of stone to fit, or can they get away with sealing this up somehow?

Does anybody think the fascia provides adequate protection? (It is aluminum and very flexible)

I doubt that the missing bit of fake stone will make any difference to anything.

Tell them to mush that crappy piece of aluminum flashing back against the stone and enjoy their ugly-ass house.

Hi Frank..Why not just tell them to fill it in with mortar?

Yes that is ugly an flashing attempt.

It looks like it needs a barber.

Love it!

Yeah, Jim said it all.

Now Now we do not know that the rest of the place is ugly,as they may have some lovely Barrier EIFS covering the rest.

More likely though it will be the same as that beige siding on the neighbors.

EIFS - Nope, not in this development. Crap on Crap. (Starting with the once fertile farmland which they ripped all the good topsoil off and filled with Crap)

Katon is right, but it's business...

If I had a choice I would rather inspect the cool stuff.

Frank,

Go to

http://www.culturedstone.com/technical/flashing.asp

and download the cool diagrams. That site will answer most every question you can come up with regarding fake rock and all the ways goat ropers (to quote WJ)can screw it up.

Hi,

I believe that "cast stone" is the term that the industry uses to describe it.

OT - OF!!!
