The rock came with the house, but as a stepping stone. I wanted our house address etched into it and called around. The quotes I got started at $150.oo.
I wanted it done so I tried using "Cricket" vinyl numbers. (Big laugh here :) With my house facing south, the were off in an hour.
So I used the "Cricket" vinyl number stencils (the left-overs from removing the numbers). I traced the numbers on my rock and painted them using craft paint that I already had.
I finished my project by spraying a protective coat over it. I used the inexpensive KRYLON Crystal Clear Flat spray. (about $3.oo at Wal-mart). It is an indoor/outdoor paint.
I did this 2 summers ago. It has held up - wonderfully. I do re-spray it several times a year.
