Webbing

Exterior walls are my first webbing task.  I don't know if any of you remember but I really like the idea of having stone exterior walls.  Well, unfortunately they aren't very common.  I have seen lots of homes with stone accents, but not many newer homes with the entire exterior walls constructed of stone.  To give you an idea of what I'm talking about consider the buildings located in Indian Springs (Jackson, Ga).  These stones were quarried from the Stone Mountain area.  Monticello even has several building built from those same type granite stones.  I am going to try to get a picture of this great house that I have always loved.  This house actually looks a lot like what I want in my home one day.  Anyway, it has been a challenge to figure out about the stone so I think I am just going to assume that the exterior wall system needs to be able to support stone because that is really what I want.  My contractor friend assures me that the stone veneer will look great!
