    First post!! I would just like to say I find this forum so informative and helpfull so thanks in advance! I am at blocklaying stage on ground slab of 3000sqft dormer bungalow. Myself and better half have "both" agreed on a natural stone we like and would like to have a dry stone finish as apposed to mortar joints showing. So basically we are just wondering what if any are the pro's and con's of this method. Thanks again!:rolleyes:

    Much easier for rain water to penetrate to the inside of the stone, so just make sure you have a backing block instead of using the stone as a leaf itself. If done right it can give a fantastic appearance, very textured and with the right stone it looks very natural.
