Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): DDM

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

natural stone storage facility

or vice versa. or a rewritten version to suit your context.
the name Natural Stone Depot has already been hijacked by a British company, but storage ought to do

agree David Moore (X) : Hi Vic: similarly, would you use "facility" for indoors? It doesn't actually say whether it's indoors or out, but this answer is also valid.

warehouse/warehousing for natural stone

Can't see many other options...
Peer comment(s):

agree vic voskuil : fully agree when inside, but can you still use warehouse with outside storage?

I think these days "warehousing" and "storage" are used more or less interchangeably
