A good client of mine would like stone on two sections of his house. The stone would be a 1" or so veneer. My thoughts are to put on a vapor barrier then lath, scratch coat and stone. One question I have is should I remove the batons so the lath is snug to the siding. The batons are spaced about 12" apart. Obviously I should secure the lath into the studs - what type of screws should be used? Is this even a good idea?

Any advice on the best construction methods would be appreciated. I am attaching a photo sorry for the poor quality.

The cement board has two sides...smooth and rough. I put the smooth side towards the wall and left the rough side faced out. I was planning on putting the veneer stone on that, but some other masons told me to put the wire mesh up with a scratch coat. Is this really needed for an inside fireplace? ]]> Masonry bstormes http://www.contractortalk.com/f48/veneer-stone-cement-board-68311/ F/S:Sunflower oil for USD250 Per Metric ton,Jatropha Oil for USD250 Per Metric ton http://www.contractortalk.com/f48/f-s-sunflower-oil-usd250-per-metric-ton-jatropha-oil-usd250-per-metric-ton-68294/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:21:55 GMT *OIL SUPPLIER COMPANY Best Option is a technology driven,One of the biggest oil producing company. customer focused company engaged production and export of biodiesel and Oil.

I am looking at a job that will require the construction of a catch basin on top of a concrete floor. The option is either concrete poured or concrete block.
I would prefer concrete block. I have heard that there is a gasket material that can be put between the lower row and the floor to provide a water tight seal but I can find no info on same.
Anyone know of this product?

It will be a 2 row 8" wall 100 feet long with 6 corners, longest wall 23'.

Thanks for any info on this. ]]> Masonry lineareagle http://www.contractortalk.com/f48/seal-68282/ Had fun today http://www.contractortalk.com/f48/had-fun-today-68256/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:10:20 GMT Had to set up this....

To take care of this....





Less than 20 years old and full of moisture.
Tear down and rebuild.
Tomorrow we'll find out how much water's in it when we demo.

I think i'm getting too old for this crap.
