This past month has been mostly siding, the last few bits of roofing, applying stone facade to foundation, porch, and chimney, and the rough electric/plumbing/HVAC. Here you see some pictures from a couple weeks ago where nearly all the siding has been put on. We chose Hardiplank siding for durability and ease of maintenance. The stone facade is actually brick that is fashioned to look like stone. The type we chose has the coloration throughout the brick so that it can be chipped to size like real stone. We also chose the optional "spotters", which are the larger, rounder stones. The spotters break up the rectangular ledgestone pattern just enough to give a natural flow to the overall look. These stone-like bricks are very durable and economical for foundation coverage.

Do you know what the brick/stone is called that you used? We are in the very early stages of buidling this plan and are looking at exterior options. Using a combination of fiber cement siding and either brick or stone. Really like the look of stone, but learned that installation (not necessarily material) is quite a bit more expensive. Is that still the case with what you used?
