June 2016 - Masonry Veneer Complete

We have finished up the exterior masonry veneer system on the two towers. As a reminder, we are using the Enduramax system that we got from our friends at Adams Products. We showed the foam panels and clips installed in a previous post, so here are a couple of images with the masonry units in place and the mortaring underway. David and Parrish from Adams were kind enough to drive out to the jobsite and bring us a mortar gun to use (and show us how to use it). The mortar gun was a BIG help, I can't imagine having to do all this with a mortar bag; my forearms ache just thinking about it. Adams made the units for me in a standard gray block color, and we are using a stack bond and charcoal mortar here like we did in the basement.

This is the largest panel of masonry units. Here they are installed, but not mortared in yet.

Here is a shot of the front with the front entrance tower mortared in place.
