        "text": "Exterior stone veneer installation involves several key steps to ensure durability and proper adhesion. First, the existing wall surface is prepared, often involving cleaning, repairing, and applying a weather-resistant barrier and metal lath. Next, a scratch coat of mortar is applied, followed by a second coat where individual veneer pieces are set. Grouting fills the joints between the stones, and finally, the surface is cleaned. Proper drainage and flashing are critical components to prevent moisture issues, especially in exterior applications.",
