Matching faux stone outside house Alex 04-15-2007
Hello,

The house my wife and I are looking at buying has what I would call faux
stone on the outside of the front, and at some point they added a hole
to the front living room (next to front door) for an A/C unit. I would
like to patch this up, but I am not sure how to match the faux stone on
the front of the house. I looked through my photos of the house and
found these two pictures (ignore the cat...).

In the first picture you can see the window unit near the front door,
and in second photo is a closer look at the fake stone. It appears
they used brick mortar or similar for the stone, so if I could just
find a replacement for the stone and match the colors (variety of
colors on the house), then that should work. Problem is finding a
similar stone to use.

Any suggestions? The are is only about 3'x2'. Also if anyone has
other suggestions on how to 'hide' this on the front porch so it's not
so apparent, that'd work as well.

Thanks for your time and help --

Alex
