Great video! Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Thanks! Me too 😁
Absolutely loved it. This is exactly what I want to build in a few of the rooms in the house. Thanks
Awesome! You’re welcome 😁
Love the build, and the great explanation here. Thanks for all the tips. Can’t wait to see the finished hearth material you used as well as what you did to tile or finish the outside. About to start that myself.
Awesome! Thank you! Good luck with your build 😁
Looking forward to seeing the mantel and more!
Coming soon, hopefully… lol
This was very helpful, thank you!
You’re welcome! 😁
wonderful
Thanks Frank!
Nice. Good job man!
Thank you 🙏
Very nice work brother
Thanks Thomas! 🙏
Really enjoyed the video. Gonna try to build one for electric insert. Could you share the dimensions of each level of the build.
They built all the homes in my neighborhood with regular painted drywall around all the fireplace (in 2002). I'll replace with the type of cement board in your video.
Great video! Looking forward to seeing this fireplace when it’s completed. Do you know what the mantle will be made out of?
Thank you! Probably oak 👍
Dogs are the best helpers!
Couldn’t agree more! 🙌
Great video. Friendly tip. Never put pipe dope on the female side of a fitting. As you tighten it, it could restrict the gas flow.
Thank you for the advice! I will make sure not to do that next time 🤙
Grest video as im looking to build this myself. Although, you should specify that the type of Teflon tape used is not plumbers tape. There is a specific type of tape to use for natural gas, propane, and butane. For the everyday DIYers watching this video.
You are absolutely correct 👍 Thank you!
They sell teflon that’s for water and gas too! A little more pricey but nice to have around the house :)
Nice video. Did anyone else notice why did he use a stud finder when he could had marked their location. When framing/filling in the old wall OR after taking down the top drywall for the electrical?
I didn’t know I was gonna be removing the drywall at that point. And the wall studs were above the fireplace header, so I didn’t know where they were when I was framing the lower wall. 👍
What stove did you install? What is the depth? I like the recessed mantle. I think that is good for the health of the tv too. Tks.
Thank you! You can find the fireplace model and specs using the link below.

Hey, great video. When you did the joists for the bottom initial box, what spacing did you do? 12'' or 16". Just trying to see your proportions compared to what I would need to do at my house. Do you have 8' ceilings or taller? Thanks! Can't wait to see how you finish it.
The joists are 16” on center and I have 8’ ceilings. Thank you! 🙏
Anyone else ever have a pipe burst? Definitely not a fun experience, but at least it turned into something beautiful.
Yep. On a trailer one time. I slipped and fell in the tub and hit the shower faucet. Thought nothing of it. Got up in the morning and carpet was soaked. Flex seal does not work on pipes!
Just FYI you need to put a separator or replace ir with combo box above the fireplace. You cant have 120volt and low voltage/communication lines in the same box. 😊
Good to know! Thank you very much 🙏
Do you have a build sheet/list. Id like to do this this summer !
Unfortunately, I do not. Sorry.
Hi, is it possible for me to make the marble decoration according to the measurements and in the end put the fire plus device, knowing that my chimney is ready made of cement?
🤷🏻♂️
What fireplace insert did you go with? You said it plugs into power and doesnt utilize a battery...
This is the model I went with www.woodlanddirect.com/empire-innsbrook-ventless-gas-fireplace-insert---28/556742.html
This was great! I now feel like I can conquer making a base. My question is, how challenging is it to build a base on carpet as opposed to hardwood floors? My living room is carpeted and I’m nervous about the leveling part😬
I would not build this on top of carpet. I would cut the carpet out in the area I was going to build.
@@EverydayBuilds ah ha! That makes sense!! Thank you so much.
What was the model/make of the fireplace?
Empire Innsbrook Ventless Gas Fireplace Insert
VFPC20IN33N
Where did you get your gas log insert?
Woodland Direct
When you extended the gas line it looked like you installed an elbow into an existing valve which subsequently got buried behind your new construction. I was expecting you to install a new valve where you could get to it instead of a cap. How did you turn on the gas?
There is another valve in the basement for this line as well. And also a valve on the actual fireplace. So the one behind the wall will just stay in the open position 👍
And how about bracing the gas line behind the wall horizontal
It is braced 👍
Nice build I feel like that reciprocal was pretty high
Thank you! I wanted the outlet just above the tv mount. 👍
@@EverydayBuilds ohh that makes sense
@@EverydayBuilds I’m in the AV industry I know some homeowners put TVs above fireplaces all the time but sometimes the tv is up higher than anticipated and then call back to bring the TV lower.
I have a beautiful electric fire place an I don’t want to cover it up all I need is a riser to lift it up off the floor
Electrician here, u did great, it's not rocket science. Yeah there's "codes" like a staple after 6" off a box n blah blah blah. If the wire is secure and not to close to your heat source where it'll melt then its good. Now a days you get ppl gate keeping saying oh NO u did it slightly wrong u need to hire someone, nah I focus on the connections, if you do them good where u pull on each wire after your done in the box and they don't come undone you've avoided a potential problem. There are people tho that do electrical that scare me but that's just lazy people, your obviously not lazy
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words and support 🙏
You're not concerned that he buried a junction box/receptacle with a cord set plugged into it in the chase? Yikes.
@@pacificfireplaces not at all, he knows where it is and this is exactly what I'm talking about, don't scare people off from trying to do shit themselves. People live in houses with nob n tube so yea a buried box shouldn't scare anyone... how often are you going into your boxes that aren't buried in the basement needing to fix a connection... never?
What tool are you cutting sheet rock with… no dust!
Cement board scoring knife 👍
I've been a builder all my life but over 50 homes and learned all the trades, l laugh at these people making vedios, like this guy
Typical boomer mentality. Thanks for contributing nothing. Move along now 👍
@@EverydayBuilds LoL,, typical millennium just can never get enough attention and can't handle rejection. l usually don't comment but your know it all attitude was too much.
Sooo ... Finished product and how ??
In progress…
Should’ve waited to close up the wall and tested the gas line
All connections were tested with soapy water 👍
Instead of burying the gas shut off behind the wall, why not put a keyway in the turn off the gas
There is an alternative shut off in the basement 👍
Good video. But remember, those safety glasses are for your eyes. Not your hat!
Haha, right? I do my best to remember. To be honest, I have gotten much better about wearing them 👍
20 years in a cabinet shop, I know that challenge! Kudos on the other safety gear. How much cubic space was required for the ventless insert? Were there any concerns about fire/heat proofing the area behind and around it?
Ventless? So where does the exhaust gases go??

they don't show it in the video, but you aren't supposed to run these very long, and you should have a CM detector.
Gasfitter here. They go into the house. Ventless (called flueless here in New Zealand) are not ideal and almost never used here anymore. If you have incomplete combustion you risk producing carbon monoxide, which goes directly into the house. They also produce water vapour as part of combustion, which also goes into the house, as well as consuming oxygen from inside the house. In New Zealand there are strict requirements on the room size when installing a flueless gas appliance. It is much better having a flue for the combustion gases. May cost more but well worth it. It is also illegal to do your own gasfitting, if you don't know these things you can really get yourself into trouble (and your family). We also have to pressure test any new gas pipework to 7kpa for 10 minutes, not just soap test it. The gasfitting in this video worries me as it really simplifies something that needs much more understanding and caution.
@@spoonywood thanks for the explanation....sounds kinda dangerous.
@@alexc7641 it can be for sure. Doesn't take much of a google search to find instances where gas has caused an explosion or where people (and the worst, kids) have died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Can't put an outlet or junction box in the wall!
How do you expect it to be plugged in then?
He's talking about the one at the bottom. I believe all junction boxes have to be accessible (i.e. it can't be behind drywall).
As a Nationally certified technician qualified to install fireplaces. you should be letting your viewers know that most fireplace manufactures require the fireplace to be installed by a certified technician or it will void the listing and warranty on the fireplace. your insurance company will also most likely drop your insurance policy for not fallowing manufacture requirements. informing the listener that the should be checking with there local codes. not all states allow you to install a vent free fireplace. putting gas line compression fittings buried in a wall without a access panel is also usually not to code. consumer be ware. The fireplace needs to be installed by a qualified technician.
Nooooooooo I wanna see the finished product 😔
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hopefully coming soon! 😁
@@EverydayBuilds Ok 🥲
I'm starting a build like this this, but with an electric fireplace. Unlike you, I will be 75 this week, but I do not have any health issues. If I did, no way would my wife let me do it.
Good luck with your build 👍
@@EverydayBuilds Thanks, I'll do it. We have a new house. We moved in on June 5, 2019. Shortly after, I took the crown moulding in the dining room down. I was going to lower it and put adjustable LEDs behind it. That did not happen. So recently I put it back up. Our ceilings are 10' so I had to work on a couple of scaffolds I own. I do not recommend installing crown alone. If I didn't have special hooks to hold it up while I nailed the other end, I couldn't have done it.
It was easier than you thought because that IS NOT a fireplace.
It’s a place and it makes fire 🤷🏻♂️
wow you could of just built a frame for it, isnt a real fireplace better?
I do prefer a real fireplace, but would have been a lot more work.
