We have purchased the stone and can't return it so that is why we are trying to come up with a solution. They are 4-5 inches thick so they'd still be 2-2.5 inches if we cut them in half.

what if I cut all the rocks in half?

total weight is about 5,000 pounds after all said and done probably 5500 with mortar. Not counting the brick that is there. The house was built in 1952 and as half inch wood sub flooring with one inch hardwood. Weight seems a lot. Is there a way I could cut all the rocks in half to help cut...

It's an outside wall. Yes, full size stones. :confused:

The top of old brick isn't supported at top and the basement is finished. The opposite side of house you can see floor joists sitting in footer.

We are placing stone in front of the brick but are now concerned about the weight? Please advise.
