We're about to have some stone accent veneers added to the front ofour new home. We've been putting this off for more than a year sincethe house was finished, and we're finally doing it. Question is...What can I expect this to cost? I already know the stone is costing$2,800, but I don't know what to expect for labor. Our mason told usit will take four of his guys 10 hours (40 man hours) to lay thestone. But he still hasn't gotten back to us with a precise estimate(he's on vacation) and we need to plan our finances. Can anyone giveme a ballpark estimate of what 40 man-hours would cost? This is small-town midwest and these guys are well regarded but not considered "highend" contractors--just good. They have trucks with fancy graphics,and good reputations, but they generally just do small jobs in ourrural area, like brick on the front of ranch homes, stone accentwalls, repair old stone houses, etc. I know you can't give me anexact amount, but I'm just looking for a very rough range to help usplan.Thanks,

You think you are asking a simple question, but you are not.I would _strongly_ suggest you stop this line of thinking.It will only come back to bite you and your contractor.Any number you get from anyone other than from your mason will bemisleading.Your mason will not be on vacation forever. Wait for them.R

Hmm... Breeds of dogs likened to people from different parts of theWorld... Interesting analogy.

Yeah pretty bad eh, I figure she'd put out for $50, but the thread drifted. Ken PS: What do I know, I'm unique, I haven't had sex with Anna Nicole Smith.
