Another first for me. Stone with a drainage plane installed.

It's installed but it ain't pretty.

Nice! I wish I would see that, for the first time, behind a dry-stack installation. That system really makes me worry.

I just did one the other day (new construction). I insisted that the buyer, require a copy of the manufacturer's specific installation instructions along with affidavits from both the builder and the installer stating that it was installed according to those instructions. I told him, he needed to be certain that the manufacturer could not later declare that any warranty was null and void. Those docs will also come in handy if the system becomes a problem, and to offer to the next buyer. The builder did comply with a very nice folder including everything asked for.

I am making every one of my buyers insist upon that documentation. I tell them, if a builder hesitates, you know you already have a problem.

It's too bad they didn't properly flash those penetrations and properly detail that vertical transition joint as well.

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!
