jack lines on the corners thats how you get a plum wall and what about some type of drainage system behind the wall, if thats in a northern climate then when the heat from the interior makes it way through the wall to the cold stone veneer there will be condensation which will need to drain otherwise it will freeze and thaw over the years cause efflorensce and the stonework will fall apart

Yea, i don't see wall ties. Then it's too much formal kind of stone-split and cut to honey comb forms, looses it's natural variations. I have 10 years laying masonry in Russia, then 10 years . I see lot's of a little bit crappy jobs there and here showing on U-tube. But i did see a really really awesome good looking masonry jobs in Russia. Unfortunatelly can't find those houses any where on internet. And i'm away from Russia already as 15 years. Then i've seen good jobs in US magazines.

this varies from traditional masonry. that is, you don't have to be a mason. dumb ass! thanks though. its because of guys like you, Real stone masons and bricklayers will always have work. fixing your cheap slops and errors, saving lives a hack endangers.

Get some training, guys. I hope your unsecured wall doesn't fall on anyone and kill them.

If you dress the face right all you need is a measuring tape. use your level on the corners only
