Touchstone fireplace install 

Great job guys, such a joy to see husband and wife teams making it happen...

In our 60s, my husband and I are planning to Owner Build. We will be in British Columbia. I found you through Pinquest. We have renovated houses before and I have a Design Drafting background (Electrical Design for Oil/Gas) but how you people have carried through with your dreams to Owner Build has been very inspirational. I love how scrappy you are (never give up). That is difficult, to keep that going with kids and all that land. Deep respect and thank you for sharing from someone who is shaking in their boots to break ground. 😅👍

Loving all your videos so far, you guys are a real family and it's awesome to find relatable DIYers with great tips!

This would be a great video for Touchstone to have on their website. Real people with a real installation = free product. Love the comment "did you want to say anything profound". No pressure Farmer, right? lol

Nice tunes! 🌞💥⚡️

Nice job

Video did not show electrical attachment. Was the fireplace unit just a plug into a wall outlet type?

The baby in fast forward motion is pretty funny.

just bought the same in the 50" version. can the frame that the fireplace is mounted to be constructed from 2X4s or do they need to be 2X6s? The surround is going to be 16" deep so there will be plenty of clearance behind it.

Does it have the ability to make the crackling fire noise too?

Thanks for the video looks nice . Quick question : does it come with plug ? No wiring needed ? Just plug and play ? Thank you

Did you add the crystal embers or use the faux fire log.?

Thank you for sharing. Personal preference prefer to not hear music in the background

Why on earth create such a large structure for your fire insert and television? Is the space behind those items a secret room or something?

1. The TV is way too high. You cannot properly watch TV when the bottom of the TV is 60 inches above the floor. 2. One major flaw with this design (as with so many RU-vidrs DIY-ing electric fireplaces) is attempting to create a traditional looking fireplace with electric clone while adding a TV above. 3. Electric fireplace is not traditional; therefore the mantle (and hearth) serves no purpose. The mantle added at least 24 inches of unnecessary height to the TV mount. The design guideline should be “mantle or TV” but not both. 4. If you choose mantle route, you should just skip the TV altogether. Otherwise your hard work will only result in neck pain. 5. If you choose the fireplace/TV combo. You should follow the rules that the TV should be mounted no higher than 42 inches above the floor. This means that close to 90% of the RU-vid videos regarding DIYing fireplaces are misleading their audience. 6. I am so surprise that very few comments talking about the flaw with electric fireplace+mantle+TV design. Neck Pain is just not worth it.
