The owner should have paid the price for corner pieces. It makes a huge difference in the look. I wouldn't spend so much time cutting all the pieces for an exact fit. Variation in the grout line width and filling in gaps with small stones makes a more realistic looking stone wall.
First off, whats wrong with the scratch coat? Everyone does it different. I used a notched trowel for mine, but I know many guys in my area that just put it on like plaster. Too each their own as long as they get the required thickness per manufacturer's spec's.
Second, maybe the homeowner didnt want to spring for expensive corners. I've had to do it before. Its not fun, and you do what you can with what you got.
your installers just gave me an idea for a new business; it's called following them around and getting the re-do when these walls fall apart from sub-par install methods.
and even though it's veneer, it's still supposed to look like stone, not stone wallpaper.
