The Garage Gets Stoned (but not Papa)

The first picture shows the garage face covered with Typar house wrap to repel water.  Not shown, a layer of waterproof felt and wire is added to the face.  A layer of mortar, or scratch coat, is placed over  the wire.  After the scratch coat dries, the stone can be buttered with mortar and stuck to the scratch coat.  Four masons with two helpers completed the stone today.  Tomorrow, the grouting of the joints will begin.  What do you think?
