Home RenoVision DIY I 2nd Roberts thoughts. I see everybody bitching about the corners, and understand their point, but since it’s real stone if the stone dust from the cut was removed I think it would be minimally noticeable. Most people don’t notice things anyway and it looks 100% better than before.

@jack8162 4 года назад

Tip from a stone mason: Alternate your corners when faking them. You overhang off the main wall on one, then overhang off the short wall on the next. It really does make it look a lot better. You don't have to measure how far out they go and then cut them all perfect. Stone isn't meant to be stuck like tile because the edge just looks weird. If you alternate the corners, it is very hard to tell that you didn't use actual corners. Cheers!

@jack8162 4 года назад

@@frwjbeb25 also, your next one after it should be done the opposite way, so that the "joint" it creates is alternating. If you look at it from the front, you should see the joint only every other one. If you get them very close together it blends in well.

Just a word of advice, spray water on cement boards before installing tiles. Cement boards due to it's nature, absorbs lots of moisture and tiles/stone may not stay long on the surface or crack upon walking on it.

I just bought a portable saw at a thrift store for 25 bucks. Did not know you could use it to cut 45s. Learn something new every day. Of course, that's why I watch your videos. Now if you'll come to Mississippi and help me level my floors/house, That would be fabulous. ;)

Thanks so much for sharing this project video!! We just bought a house in Arizona, and it has a wood-burning fireplace that has no mantel and what looks like very nice grayish 12” x 12” tiles around the firebox and then a nice hearth. We both really think it needs some stone for definition, and we wanted something we could do together.

@DadYouNeverHad 4 года назад

One thing you can do if you're avoiding the mitered corners is to chip the cut edges with a pick/awl to create natural - not smooth cut - edges.

@charlottetrotter2975 6 лет назад

Thanks for your video, very informative. I looked up how to install for myself because I had a contractor install it and there were many cracks in the stone. He stated this is how it comes and is normal which I find hard to believe. As stated in the end of this video damage stone should be returned, which is what I would think. Also, there were areas where it was not leveled leaving gaps, I have halted the project and now that I watched your video I have knowledge of the right way to install this stone. Thank you so much. I will be showing this to my contractor in the morning.

You can touch the sides of one of those blades and it won't even hurt. Touching the edges likely won't even break the skin unless you stayed against it. Not like a regular saw blade.

If you do not want to go thru the hassle of mixing thin set mortar, you can buy a quality pre-mixed acrylic mortar designed for stone installations. It comes in small and big buckets and you can move at your own pace without worrying about the thinset setting up on you.

@alec1113 Год назад

My five cents , it best to to hydrate the backer board ( wipe with damp sponge ) do the same with ledger stone , this will give you more time with the mortar/ thinset as the materials if dry will suck out the moisture. Second , permanent marker can sometime migrate to the front of the stone if you are using a softer stone ,for example marble etc , it may to a few weeks but eventually it can come through and leave black lines on the surface , ive seen it happen . All the best

@brianwoodruff2736 3 года назад

Horizontal/vertical notch lines do matter. Their purpose is to evenly dry the thinset. You want them perpendicular to the tile. These pieces are nearly square, so it doesn’t matter as much, but technically they are wider than they are tall and notch lines should be vertical to provide better air flow to the thinset. Get the proper amount of thinset in quick. It starts curing right away and you don’t want to keep adding mortar as you mix. MOST IMPORTANTLY: you need to let your mix slake. After getting your mix to the right consistency, you need to let it sit for a couple minutes, the. Mix again. Otherwise it starts drying to fast and gets a crust on the outer layer as you spread. You either end up re mixing several times throughout the install and only being able to spread small amounts at a time(if you’re aware this is happening) Otherwise, you’re sticking tile on that appears to be bonding to the substrate but will actually be breaking loose from the mortar as it dries. Always pull some pieces out randomly as you’re working to make sure you have a good bond and coverage. Dang! Good luck homeowners...

@neomacchio4692 Год назад

Shouldn’t the tile be slid back and forth (90 degrees to the trowel lines) while pressing it into the thinset? This collapses the ridges, and allows the air to squeeze out, providing MAX coverage. I’ve never seen anyone explain this vital aspect. WHY A TROWEL IS USED. The trowel creates peaks and valleys. Without this, there would be air pockets galore. The trowel allows for 90-100% coverage and no air bubbles behind the tile. This isn’t as important on a wall. It’s very important on a floor. If there are air pockets in a floor, if someone drops a hair dryer, a pot/pan etc on the floor, the tile WILL break… revealing the air pocket.

40 yr stone mason here. If you didn't have the corner stones You should have at least staggered the corners to break up the straight joint. You never want to see a straight vertical joint or sawed edges .. Surely they sell corner stones. I know they are expensive but you just gotta have them. The difference is night and day . But great video

@Durfenhurf 5 лет назад

I have this exact stone and I can tell you, they certainly do sell corner pieces for it (it's Trevi Gray at Home Depot). If you see this, maybe you could let me know if I am okay putting this stone directly over brick using heavy tile / natural stone mortar. Three different folks at HD said "oh yeah, no problem" but a 40 yr stone mason would boost my confidence immensely.

@picklemetimbers3003 5 лет назад

I currently have a client who wants this stone on the face of their fireplace. I told them they should do all 3 sides with the corner stones for the best professional appearance They are still pressing only the face of the wall due to cost.. If anyone decides to use this product don't be cheap. The appearance of the finished product will be night and day. 10+ year stone mason and business owner.

Pickle MeTimbers planning on doing this on my fireplace...and I will get the Conner for sure... I have dry wall now, do you install the cement wall on top of the dry wall?.. right?

@TheAcenightcreeper 5 лет назад

My stone mason actually mitered the corners into 45’s and it looks great, you cannot even tell. They dont sell corners for those mosaic stone pieces, please send me a link for non-mosaic travertine stone corners... so folks end up with straight and exposed edges. The equivalent of running cut tile to the edge and not putting a bullnose or edging piece in. Then you have the cheap folks who only want to do one wall...it wasn’t even a question for me, not only did i do the wood stove wall, I had him do the entire connecting wall to make it look like one solid stone wall that went into the ceiling and I had him wrap the stone around the behind the wall where it was exposed to the other room to make it appear solid. I don’t get why he abandoned the 45 simply because it took a while...unless the homeowners did not want to pay. it honestly is the correct way to go for real stone...my fireplace is real travertine stone, my mason did all 45’s in the edges and it blends seamlessly. I get nothing but compliments on my wood stove stone work. It cost me 7k to do about 250sq/ft in labor and stone, but its done right. I am a believer that if you cannot afford to do it 100% correct, no shortcuts with the best material then you shouldn’t do it at all. Everything else is just a compromise, so why not save up until you can afford the right way? Those mosaic stone pieces are a real garbage product meant for DIY flip reno’s. They look good from far, but are far from good. If anyone wants to do this, go to a stone supply store and get a quote on non-mosaic stones, get a stone mason who will custom cut everything on site for the project.

@bobloblaw7465 5 лет назад

@chrispearl1473 Год назад

Thanks for being super honest with the saw commentary. I'm going to be doing a stone fireplace wall unit soon and will probably buy a saw as opposed to renting it due to the cost of renting vs buying, then maybe resell the saw for 50% off or something. I wanted to miter the corners, but that looks like that may be a problem for two reasons. You showed one with the rental saw and two, I may not even have a perfect 90 degree angle which would pose a problem. We have a brand new builder spec house and Ryan homes took a dump when it came to building it nicely. It's a builder spec home for sure, but ain't nothing perfect or clean. Thanks for the great video, I will remember the words of wisdom.

@clintonbubb3187 6 лет назад

Great job as always Jeff.... you've got a unique presentation style that is both informative and friendly.

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 6 лет назад

Just taking a look into the real life of a homeowner! There are definitely better options out there but they all cost more money!

Did you try to use a cold chisel to make the end cuts? Perhaps a fractured stone edge would look a lot better than the cut off a tile saw? Jeff, great tips otherwise, but please go to Ottawa Fastener and buy a few $6 pairs of safety glasses and flip them onto your forehead when you aren't cutting. Not trying to be a safety troll, just want to be able to see more videos while you can still see to make them!

Thanks Don, I have them and use them regularly when needed.

"Its almost perfect"...adds like 3 times more mortar...😂...mixing on a wood deck without protecting?...

This dude doesn't know how to install this brick

@turrimuguz6101 3 года назад

Totally agree. This dude should stick to just talking and maybe take some deep breath’s cause he is running out of breath by second row. No protection on flooring, no protection on deck, doesn’t even know how to mix the thinset. Has no level, knows nothing about this type of work...

Agree with you comment at 20.01min .. 😂😂 Jeff I have seen many of your videos .. they have helped me tremendously in my DIY home Reno’s .. it is awesome how detailed you go. One of your bathroom room pan installation video instructing to peel the protective plastic covering at the drain hole was very impressive.

Where are your eye protections bud?

That’s some nice looking stone work around that fireplace. I think I would want to put some wooden trim around the corners, eliminating the need to play puzzle.

Looks beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻

@Imwright720 Год назад

I have a similar saw since 95. It still works, didn’t burn it out. Yes it’s slow and you sit off to the side or get soaked. I cut marble 1” thick and it’s slow but does it.

I like this video. Now that I watched it, seems like maybe one more thing a person can do to prepare to apply the stone is to layout all of the stone on the floor, in the position it will eventually be installed on the wall. This way, if there are any imperfections, they can be identified and replaced before mixing and applying the adhesive.

I’ve seen this before. Jeff is definitely good at this. I have an 8’x6’ tall putrid old red brick fireplace with a cheap gas insert the original homeowner did. Currently remodeling and getting out of here but I’m wondering if I should just prime it and do hardibacker then faux stone but trying to keep it cheap but look attractive
