Is this stone veneer?

Having trouble identifying this type of siding. Could someone please help. Thanks

It is basically like stucco construction.

What Stephen said and set like brick veneer.

It kind of looks like some kind of molded on the wall masonry job, then painted heavy, to me. The units look wet mortar wiped to me…could be the paint., tho.

What did it look like at the bottom here?:

These look similar, so maybe not molded on the wall:

I actually saw that! I couldn’t make sense of it though.

Are you referring to the bottom of the wall I asked about? Have any close up pictures?

Or, the electrical service drop?

Looks like a faux stone veneer. It is a cementious product similar to stucco.

The electrical drop.

The service drop is improperly attached to the home.

What’s the mechanism between the service drop and building? Square device?

If you mean this, it is an old used porcelain insulator.

The old riser is covered by the Formstone. The old anchor was pulled out to allow the application of the Formstone.

The weatherhead is higher than the anchor.

@lkage has a good eye and is spot on.

On a service drop, the two insulated “hots” bring in 120v each, and the bare neutral conductor provides structural support for the entire service drop.

In this photo, you can clearly see the bare wire support.

Your image shows the bare wire support pulled away and compromised. A makeshift wire loop is now holding the service drop, which is a very dangerous situation. Furthermore, the hot wires are now pulled tight due to the attachment issues, eliminating the drip loop.

Good Thing that Spider has been busy reinforcing Uncle Bubba’s rusted and broken bailing wire attachment to the building…
