i was thinking about putting either a stone or brickface on the exterior of my home. it would go from the ground, up about 4 ft and around the enteir house. this part of the house is a cement foundation with a cement or stocco finish. any ideas on a material to use?
thanks

Hi, birch

Well, first you must know if you really have a real foundation, of concrete, and its dimension.

The material could be brick, stone or concrete blocks (stone finished), but it needs to appear as an unit with the whole house.
