This step by step tutorial is detailed orientated, the result turns out to be very nice looking. Thanks for sharing, as a female DIYer, I do get inspiration from you. Looking forward to your more projects.
Why did you put mortar on the entire wall at once instead of doing it in small sections as you went along? The mortar will dry out and not adhere well to the stone.
That stuff in particular takes forever to dry
@@samml3836 I'm questioneing the choice of mud also. The mud should be applied with a half inch notched trowel, and the product should be a fluffy more wet mud. Oh boy...
This was a rather sloppy DIY job.
Mortar was mixed too thick
Mortar wasn't troweled consistently- dry spots
Too much mortar applied at once- guaranteed that mortar skinned over within 10 minutes
Each piece should have been back-buttered
Things that go crash in the night.
Removed a section in my camper where the entertainment area is and installed. Works great. Instead of propane furnace heat, I can use this czcams.com/users/postUgkxATHBlMJwipGgVWseuAFKvDQ_5R4_lywo to heat the camper as long as it's hooked up to shore power. Only thing I do not like is there does not seem to be a thermostat. I'm presuming it has a built-in one so it does not overheat. Really like all the other color options it has to offer.
My big concern is that it appears to me that the contractor/and his assistant tiled over the trim of the fireplace which now may effectively encapsulate the fireplace unit; what happens if the unit fails and has to be removed? my experience is that the fireplace components are reachable through a horizontal panel near the floor, which is removable but its not clear that that panel or the fireplace itself can be removed if needed for service or replacement after this DYI project. so... potentially not thought through.....
Yes, I was wondering that myself. It does not seem to be a good idea to cover the edges of that insert unit...
Love it! This is exactly the look I'm going for.
Thank you so much! You can do it! Hope this was helpful and let me know if you have any questions once you tackle your project! Sending some sunshine your way!
You’re so cute doing such hard labor lol
Coating the entire area first as well as not coating the back of the tiles could lead to premature failure. Dont follow their example.
Thank you
Great idea!
Thank you! Made a big impact on the focal point!
thank you, hope it was helpful! Totally changed the focal point!
Great video
Good job
Thank you. I truly appreciate your feedback! Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas.
Nice job
Thank you so much! This client recently hired me for another project & they still love the fireplace, that made my day! Have a beautiful week ahead!
What is best way to finish the stone edge? What did you apply to the edge which meets drywall?
They left the exposed edge and simply painted it. If it was me, I would have taken the extra time and knapped the edges.
Im doing something similar.. any issues so far?? Something i should maybe keep in mind?
Do not start each row with a full panel.
just seeing this comment, sorry for the late reply. I recently went to this client's house for another project and no issues. He is extremely happy, which makes me happy. It is a lot of walking back and forth to cut the tiles. Make sure everything is leveled! Wishing you the best on your project!
You have done an awesome job,keep up the good work Beautifully done.
Thank you!
Super 🌷 👍💜 🌷
thank you so much, means a lot!
I don't know if you still respond to this thread but I understand the mortar application and use but I see in other places it mentions using grout and it looks like you didn't need to use any grout and that the tiles fit up against one another. I am using similar if not the exact same tile so I was wondering. Thanks and great job!
Hi, thank you for your feedback! Truly appreciate it. I have not been on CZcams for at least a year if not more. Theses tiles did fit seamlessly together. We used the adhesive that was recommended for these specific tiles. I also, checked with 2 different contractors, because it is important to me that projects like this are done right! I hope you have a beautiful week! Did you end up finishing your project?
Congratulations, we are planning to do the same, what is the thickness of your stone
That type of saw you can use inside doesn’t throw a lot water , instead going in and out up and down
All done! 11:10
Do I have to use backer board if it's just an accent wa and not a fireplace?
I've seen many other videos on this subject and the recommendation is to use the backer board for heavy stone. I you use a thinner, lighter manufactured stone-like product, then drywall is fine. Real-stone requires the backer board because the thin-set adheres to it best. I also learned that if your feature wall is higher than 10 feet tall, the recommendation is backer board no matter what product you use.
*Very easy to set up and use, attractive but be sure you understand the height--it's not tall. The heat is not overwhelming, but steady and pleasant fireplace **fireplace.homes** . It's quiet, too. I like the possibility of easily moving it from room to room in the event we want supplemental heat elsewhere. Definitely a good buy.*
WOW !
Your ideas and imagination are cool.
Your team awesome.
Skilled,patient and efficient.
Good luck.
Doors are wide open for you ahead.
Thank you so much! That is so sweet. Client was very happy!
Is it said that if the height is less than 8ft, its ok to put the stones on your drywall..... true of false?
Yes you can do a small area. But remember the weight factor . 1/4” cement board is very inexpensive, and will give you a perfect surface to adhere to.
@@stevenmorris2293 I have a customer who I originally thought just wanted tile around her fireplace but she now wants stacked stone like this.
Can I just install 1/4” backer board over the drywall? It’s a pretty small area, just around the firebox.
Or do I have to demo the 1/2 inch drywall I have already installed and put up 1/2” backer board?
How many boxes do you use
How you going to mount the tv?
Typically you mount the TV mount before setting stone but rookies don't usually plan properly
He had told me he does not want a TV in this room, so didn't have to take that into account. Just wanted to create a focal point for the room and update the space. Wishing you an awesome day!
What kind of wet saw did you use?
Looks like the Rigid tile saw
Hi! I used a Ridgid Wet Tile Saw. Wishing you an awesome day!
@@heartfelthomes3460 thank you so much
@@notchyouraveragesewist turns out you were right ! Thank you
Los laterales de la fireplace no lo pasan como li pegaronjijiui
She wears no gloves??
Them stones will definitely be falling off the wall the way they was put on the wall and that thin set sucks
What a mess 🤣🤣
The sound varied so much between different parts of the video!! Also, lose the music!
Great process, adorable brunette babe... Hire a professional
Stop the music!!!
