Personally I think it will look so naff, she'll want it removed next
week. Then you use the Angle Grinder....

Now's the chance to throw them away and do something funky, eg:

Paint the number on the wall in theatrical UV paint, then install a dirty
great big blacklight tube over them

Or remove the rock, mill out the number into the surface, fill with resin so
it is invisible but run some fiber optics into it and illuminate with a
hidden LED bank, laser or something else stupid but cool.

Or just install a laser to scan your house number onto the wall.


Why bother at all? Even though you legally have to display your house
number (or name) loads of people don't bother - usually when they have
their half-decent wooden front door replaced with a uPVC or sometimes
a similar "metal" thing. They even occasionally omit a letterbox...
