I’m thinking of doing this project in my fireplace. This video helped me a great deal. Now I want to see the application of the mortar between the rocks. Awesome job! Thank you for publishing this. Boo to the haters!
Yah, NO. Please don't fallow this guys advice. That mortar was way too thin. It should be thick like peanut butter. When you put it on your trowel, you should be able to turn it sideways and it stay on the trowel and come off with one flick of the trowel. Now putting the mortar on the brick is fine for this type of brick as it is already a very rough surface. It may not have needed a scratch coat. but if it is smooth or glazed brick, use metal lathe for the scratch coat to adhere to.
I used similar stones, and spaced them the thickness of your thumb. Then went back and did a mortar grout, so part of the entire wall was to see the stones spaced apart with a nice mortar. Gave it a nice finished look. One thing you should've done was to wet the brick so the porous brick wouldn't suck water from the mortar.
Don't need a scratch coat on brick, don't need to tap it, simply wiggle it around until you get suction. Start at the corner, but don't build the corner all the way up.
Any chance that somebody who is actually a mason has made any videos on this??? Not sure why he didn't just put them on when he did the first coat of concrete
They make a product called "thinset" which is made to take the place of that mortar you used. Need some medium to heavy sanded thinset called "LHT", trowel it out and put your stone right to the brick the same day....
Hi, I know this is a very old post so really hope someone is still monitoring. Anyway, I have a super ugly whit glazed wood burning brick fireplace and have wanted to reface for a long time. Will this method work on glazed brick?
got news for you: You did not have to scratch coat that brick. That veneer would have adhered fine to the brick. Especially a brick with groove lines in it.
Where did you get your stone veneers from? That is the look I have been wanting to do on my fireplace, but, I haven’t been able to fine those stones. Also, would it be okay to use a rubber mallet to tap the stones into place? Your video is very helpful. Thank you.
Gorgeous! This is exactly what I want to do to our fireplace and an ugly white-painted brick wall! How well did it all hold up and grouting if I may ask?
You should of had a stone lintel over the fire opening, or used a key stone to lock it, as it could fall apart, also it would of looked better with mortar beds and joints which you could of pointed as you went,
Dude empty that room and tarp the area. Working next to that cream colored sofa is asking for trouble. Plus thin plastic is slippery and will rip when the stone sits on it. I’d be amazed it things were not scratched or stained all around that project.
Apparently there's tons of people in the comment section that know how to do this better than you...lol They don't even know how to wipe their own _ _ _!! Great job!! Looks great 👍
@Ernesto Pulido all this guy does is scroll RUclips videos to make comments like this. Havent seen him post any videos on how to do it the right way though.
I'm a new DIY'r but even I can say that there are better ways to do this, plus the safety issues in here are cringe-worthy. Hey and next time, please get the lady a tissue. Constant nose-sniffing is quite irritating.
(1)Prior to applying the adhesive,the tile back should be dusted off with a wetted sponge. (2)Adhesive should be spread of the back of the stone and wall (which should be free of dust) with a 10mm-12mm notched trowel. (3)A rubber mallet hammer head should be used to tap the stone in place. (4)No way would one use a short level less than ameter long to check levels
buy a tripod or monopod to support your camera

4runnerColorado just was gonna day that. This guy is a clear amateur and is very inexperienced
We’re all amateurs until we do it once. I think he did a great job for his first time.
Any chance that somebody who is actually a mason has made any videos on this???
Not sure why he didn't just put them on when he did the first coat of concrete
That's actually the correct way to do it. You want the concrete to bond to the brick first before installing the stone.
They make a product called "thinset" which is made to take the place of that mortar you used. Need some medium to heavy sanded thinset called "LHT", trowel it out and put your stone right to the brick the same day....

You may need get the surface etched or abrasive surface for mortar to adhere. Also try using special mortar specially for real stone veneer.
the blair witch project camerman
Patrick Roth lmfao hahaha
Omg that shit was annoying the shit out of me 😭😭😭😭
got news for you: You did not have to scratch coat that brick. That veneer would have adhered fine to the brick. Especially a brick with groove lines in it.
What if the brick is painted? Someone told me if the brick is painted you need to put backer board over the brick first.
I'm curious also. We have a brick fireplace that the last family stupidly painted white which looks horrible. We need some nature back in this house!
Feebass if your brick is painted your going to want to scuff the brick at least and use a premium modified thinset to make sure it bonds
How about if i have tile and want to change it to stone
tapcon the mesh on it.. keep screws every 6 inches.
Dude you are correct, but there is a cost, plus all the time you put into it. You do have to be more careful when it comes to doing exterior work.
Those 5 vertical joints in the middle looks terrible
No they really don't. You're being petty. Besides, it's his house and if he's good with it, that that's all that matter.
way 2 much work and it actually doesnt look good enough to me,but as long as your happy
All depends on the install... too loosely stacked, and to many misplaced stone.
Shouldn't you use a rubber mallet instead of a hammer??
One would think lol
WHO IS HOLING THE CAMERA A 1 YEAR OLD ? SO MUCH MOVEMENT
How many boxes of airstone did you use and what were the dimensions of the fireplace?
could you please tell me name make color of this stone!? Well Done! ~ Much appreciated
Why wait for mortar to set?!?!? Also less water
Everything you say and do is wrong.

scratch coat was a little too wet.
Посмотри как мы на Кубани это делаем!)))

Don't need scratch coat on brick or concrete. Also that scratch coat is too wet.
Looks great...
how did you get a corner shaped veneer at exact specification also? Thanks
You buy the like that I have a video coming soon
You should of had a stone lintel over the fire opening, or used a key stone to lock it, as it could fall apart, also it would of looked better with mortar beds and joints which you could of pointed as you went,
Dude, you ruined that perfectly good brick fireplace.
Not nice
Dude empty that room and tarp the area. Working next to that cream colored sofa is asking for trouble. Plus thin plastic is slippery and will rip when the stone sits on it. I’d be amazed it things were not scratched or stained all around that project.
Great job!!!!
No wired?
You have too many straight joints
Not a fan of this to be honest. Appreciate ur talent but end result I didnt like
The camera person needs a tissue. That sniffling sound every 10 seconds is annoying
Could you tell me where you purchased the stone? Color?
You did a great job!
thank you comrade.
corners first???
Yep
I think it looks best when the joints are a lot tighter also you had the faux painted stone returning into firebox which is no good
no shit, stone is going to turn hot pink
This is a great video thanks for posting.
Do you need some kind of grout in between these veneer bricks?
What’s the of veneer stone and how much per square foot
Is this air stone or what? Because I wanna do this
Does anyone know where these veneers are purchased ?
Where is your hawk and trowel
its BIG PROBLEM REMUVE KAUCH HAHAHAHAHAAA
ĐO AMERIKANAC fuck off
Great job except no one wants to hear the sniffles and the breathing 😜
I was very annoyed with the sniffles 🤣😂🤣
Wow shoulda hired a pro
Thank you soooooo much
pull back the camera so you can see full shots, i feel cheated
Truth Inspector
Apparently there's tons of people in the comment section that know how to do this better than you...lol They don't even know how to wipe their own _ _ _!! Great job!! Looks great 👍
No stepping! 8:24
like big
Thank you for this video!
It look like crap. Too many gaps.
Where is the angle grinder blade guard? otherwise DIYer keep it up.
If you've ever had one come apart you'll wish you had that guard... don't ask me how I know.
Cementing
Fred Flinstone would be proud
Nice job, looks good. U da man!!
more Russian construction. Wtf?
+Ernesto Pulido nope
@Ernesto Pulido all this guy does is scroll RUclips videos to make comments like this. Havent seen him post any videos on how to do it the right way though.
Good job.
Ruined a totally great fireplace. My opinion.
وحش
Great try for a beginner you tried at least
What style of veneer stones did you use??
shit stone
resembles shit
The type of stone is called assholio stone, resembles the look of an opened asshole
its.hard.enough.to.work.and.teach.plus.talk.let.alone.hold.the.cam.the.way.they.do.up.in.hollywood.then.after.all.that........sit.here.and.read.such.great.reviews..jajajajja.enjoy.life.fellas.dont.work.yourself.till.kingdom.come
Angle grinders with NO GUARD are also great for cutting nice jagged slices into the sides of your hands and fingers! Good grief!!
It's a diamond blade for tile... Must be from cali.. Good grief.. So soft handed.
He would make a decent laborer. If you can't shape your shit with a hammer then you should make sure the stone is stocked and Waylon or Coe is playin
Don't talk just do it!
I'm a new DIY'r but even I can say that there are better ways to do this, plus the safety issues in here are cringe-worthy.
Hey and next time, please get the lady a tissue. Constant nose-sniffing is quite irritating.
joints are to tight. damn near dry stack
I think dry stack looks better anyway if you want a more rustic look
He barely knows how to lay stone he's the last person who should make a video 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The brick looked better
rodney day I like what he did. you're just an idiot
I agree.. brick looked way better.
The brick looked so much nicer than this hack job...
