I am looking at doing this exact thing. We were opting to no cement board either because it is in a recording studio with 2" thick drywall glued together attached to the wall. The cement board screws stop at 2-1/4" and there is not enough blocking in the corners to secure another layer so I thought a not full securing cement board would be less strong than drywall. Everyone says dont do it to drywall but noone has shown one that has actually failed just that it could. The house we moved into has 2 walls done right on the drywall before we moved in. It looks like your dad has done this before so was nice to see someone do it on drywall successfully. I see that he doesn't use cement board, so I am trying to convince myself not to either, what is his reasoning for not using it (because he could have easily in this scenario) hoping his expertise and reasoning settles my nerves about my decision lol Thanks!
Beautiful, you should have gotten the finished corners for the end of the wall. We just did our outdoor fireplace and kitchen with the stone veneer and the contractor said to get it for the finished look. Really is so pretty when done. Congratulations on your wall. ❤
That brick wall came out so beautiful. Great job!!! I was scared for pops though i didn't want to see him get stuck in the wall. Lol but it really came out lovely Jenn.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I have a Chimney Breast sticking out my sitting room feature wall and was planning on doing something like this either on the Chimney wall that sticks out or maybe even the two walls that jut in if you get what I mean, think it would look amazing. Loved the job your Dad and Hubby did ❤ from England
You're supposed to install concrete board before you add this type of stack stone. Faux (fake stone) is ok to stick on with thinset but natural stone weighs alot more and requires concrete board (aka Backerboard). Fyi I still gave a thumbs up because it looks really nice and I'm not being a troll lol 👌🏽👍🏽
Hi I’m attempting to do this same project this week already bought my materials and the same cement glue you showed in this video.. just wanted to double check how are the stones holding up? Thanks again!
Did the fireplace trim fit back on with the difference of the thickness of the stone? I am going to do this but hoping I won’t have an issue putting the stainless trim around it back on. Great video, exactly what I was looking for,
If you watch from minute 20 you’ll see the cardboard trick my dad did to help with settling and prevent from being an issue when getting the trim back up. So, they put up the stone while the trim was removed and then just needed to use longer screws to fit back with the thickness of the stone.
This was don incorrectly. Too much weight on the wall. Those stones need to be attached to cement board. Those stones will fall off over time due to lack of support.
The wall looks fantastic, however attaching ledgestone directly to drywall is super dangerous and should never be done. This is a huge short cut that should never be taken under any circumstances
Thank you! My dad has done many stone walls using this method and they are all perfectly fine and have lasted 10+ years. This technique is no shortcut. You have to know the proper amount of product and timing of getting the stone up. Thanks for watching!!!
"Typically" you remove the drywall and replace with cement board, hardibacker, etc. made for the water-based mortar, weight of the stone, etc etc.. but every situation is different, depends on the existing structure, weight of the stones being applied...
@@fuelboyno need to remove the drywall, just install the cement board on top of drywall with proper screws to the studs, that should be sufficient to hold the weight. But you have to know the widths of studs of course. I could be wrong but the screws should be between 6-12 inches apart. Google it. Cement board recommended because a load of the weight is distributed vertically and it provides a better adhesive to the store or tile, than a "coat" of paint. If you think logically, the marble tiles are sticking to the paint coating and not to the drywall directly. Very often during new construction, drywall guys sand joint compounds and don't clean walls from the dust properly. The painting guys don't clean walls, they paint over the surface passed over to them. If there is a sign of peeling paint, I would not use this method.
Hello, I saw your video and it's beautiful. Just one question, how much money does the material cost per box? and how much did you pay for all the boxes. Thanks

Great idea!!
Beautiful job. I'm in the middle of doing the same thing to my Living room wall. Just a unbelievable transformation!!!
Thank you! It’s really makes a huge difference!
Oh my goodness I LOVE this look!! Incredibly gorgeous!!!!❤️
thank you so much! ♥️
That brick wall came out so beautiful. Great job!!! I was scared for pops though i didn't want to see him get stuck in the wall. Lol but it really came out lovely Jenn.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

thanks for the thumbs up! my dad has done these types of walls plenty of times and so far all are still great 😊👍🏼
Thats what I thought too.... but was wondering if that particular morter he used remedied that?
@@theqcrew24 did the type of morter your dad used remedy not needing to use a backer board?
Looks great! What’s your take on maybe leaving the baseboard attached?
i don’t think you could do that because the stone wouldn’t be stable and be able to rest on the baseboard. thank you btw!
Love it! Its beautiful.
thank you!
That looks so nice
Looks great. You picked a good color
thanks!
Looks nice. No concerns with any shifting or buckling from the weight?
Thank you! None at all!
Hi I’m attempting to do this same project this week already bought my materials and the same cement glue you showed in this video.. just wanted to double check how are the stones holding up? Thanks again!
No answer 😂 not a good sign, lol just kidding )
Still up! 😊 Best of luck!
Hi Jenn. Congratulations 10k views! Must do some more.
Hi! Thank you!! I have some more home improvements I plan to do in the near future and will definitely be posting those as well ♥️
Amazing job Al!!!
he’s the best!!!!! ♥️
Did you not use cement board for that?
Thanks for the video, how much time it taken to build, dry up and the cost of all material ?
Thank you for watching! We were able to do the entire wall in one day. The stone for this size wall cost us around $1,000.
Nice work,
thank you!
Amazing job! Did Lowe’s cut it for you? Or did your dad have the tools to do that?
You can rent a tile saw from any rental place almost.
Finally project start after 18 minutes
My content comes in vlog form ☺️ thanks for watching
@@theqcrew24 Thank you for replying for next time if you need more subscribers and more viewers no talk just a little bit explanation only .
Shouldn't that installation be done on a cement board and not on drywall due to the weight of the stacked stone tiles?
the wall is still going strong without the cement board
Looks great. I really like the look. Can these stones be removed or replaced from the wall in the future without damaging the wall ?
thank you! no, it cannot be removed without damaging.
Did the fireplace trim fit back on with the difference of the thickness of the stone? I am going to do this but hoping I won’t have an issue putting the stainless trim around it back on. Great video, exactly what I was looking for,
Hi! Yes it did, I believe my dad measured it and did it a certain way to make sure it did, I can touch base with him and let you know 😊
If you watch from minute 20 you’ll see the cardboard trick my dad did to help with settling and prevent from being an issue when getting the trim back up. So, they put up the stone while the trim was removed and then just needed to use longer screws to fit back with the thickness of the stone.
Just replied with my personal YT account, still me, sorry.

lol wall still good though 🤷🏻♀️

So what should be the ideal way to install stone ?
"Typically" you remove the drywall and replace with cement board, hardibacker, etc. made for the water-based mortar, weight of the stone, etc etc.. but every situation is different, depends on the existing structure, weight of the stones being applied...
💯

Beautiful ❤️☺️
thank you! ♥️
Your welcome! Loved your video inspired me to do same 💞
@@DaughterOfGodSisterCas Aw, yay!
Hello, I saw your video and it's beautiful. Just one question, how much money does the material cost per box? and how much did you pay for all the boxes. Thanks
Thank you for watching! I can’t remember the price of each box but all material came out to about $1,000.
Thanks for answering you are so gorgeous person.
I like the wall.
thank you 😊
Is there a video on installing fireplace?
thanks for watching! unfortunately, no not it’s own video, but in this video you do see the fireplace removed and placed back on. hopefully that helps
Is that a recessed or wall mount fireplace? Looks great!
How is it holding up?
still strong lol
How much was all that stone??
Thanks for watching. I am not including labor price but price for all materials was roughly $1,000.
Could you ask your dad what he used to cut the stone with?
Of course! He used a wet table saw
@@theqcrew24 what did he wet the saw with ?
@@LeoHernandez-xk6gm water? Are you dumb?
@@LeoHernandez-xk6gm ummm.. water.. duh. look up how to use a wet saw? 🤣
@@LeoHernandez-xk6gmurine 😂
Imagine all that weight on drywall.. standing next to it and then it falls on you from not being able to support it
still up and strong 😊
I thought you were making this from cement
Should have back buttered the rock.
Too small
🤣
Spoiled! I just did this totally by myself w out a man. U should have got ur hands dirty n helped.
Your mad😂
@@dylanfromdabay2142 not mad, self sufficient!!
LMFAO 🤣
