yep, but I have another set to do. I'm seriously thinking of building a wall over that orange foundation and then doing this stone on it..about 25' feet. problem is that once you do somethin new, the old stuff looks like crap...never ending

 

I like the dry stack look with no visible mortar in the joints. Guy that did the front, mortared the joints to match the original foundation. When I remodeled the basement , 35 years ago, I stripped one of the original foundation walls. I Did 20' feet of it in the family room. it had been plastered and painted over. I got it back to the original stone and cleaned out the mortar joints. This the "real old time stuff"..over 100 yrs old

 

Nice looking stuff if it's done right.

 

I don't see the orange foundation.

 

yep, it's really popular now. My price on material was about $10/s.f. Don't know what labor would be for a mason to do it.Twenty years ago, I used to pay $7 a s.f for brick work, materials and labor. Works out to $1 a brick. I'll have to ask what the going rate is now.

 

Different pic...

 

You talking about the rusty rock?

 

Steps were an orange brick that I did 40 yrs ago to match the foundation.

 

yep, that was a very popular stone around here many years ago, Called West Mountain stone. It came from a local quarry

 

Maybe it looks worse in person. Doesn't look bad from here.
