not bad, i could do better

Sir William:
I'll be keeping this for inspirational purposes...I think it is time for me to start planning that sort of thing.  I know, I know...I'm the world's worst at starting stuff.  RK, love that tile...love it.  Wow.

Sir Edward:

One idea I had was to do it the way people make stone facades for Halloween displays. Basically, screw 1/4" plywood panels onto the wall (so they're removable), and then glue onto them "stone" slabs made from foamboard. The foam can be cut and shaped pretty easily with the right tools, and can be roughened up on the surface with spray-paints (they "eat" the foam to some degree). This keeps the panels light-weight and removable, and they can still be painted with latex paints to look very real.

Sir Wolf:
glue will eat that foam too!! foamwould be so much cheaper i think.

Sir Edward:

It depends on the glue. Liquid nails or silicone should be safe to use.

Sir Patrick:

It's actually cultured stone.  Looks very real in person.  We're using some of it in the office.
