Great video! I am currently building a new house and want to do exactly what you did. Can you tell me where u got the stone veneer and maybe the stock number or what type/name? Would also like to know what kind of stone that is on the hearth if possible.
I had always thought the method was apply mortar with a 1/2" x 1/2" square notch trowel to the wall, then a thin back butter on the stone panels. Whereas you only did the notch trowel to the stone panels. Seems simpler!
The stone already has gaps the way it comes from the manufacturer, so once it is all done the gaps are not noticeable at all. Thanks for commenting Bill.
that is soo cool I am so glad I subscribed! sooo helpful! step one is i need a fireplace first!

Thanks Yulya
Good job!
Awesome video! Helped a lot 🙌
Thanks Peter
How did you do the corners?? Thx 🙏
Hello, what did you use for the hearthstone?
I am using heavier stone (not veneer), what backing do you recommend instead of drywall
Cement board would work, but if you already have drywall up I would recommend nailing the metal mesh over drywall and then skimming it with mortar.
Is the drywall strong enough to hold the granite? How come you don’t use cement backer boards?
Yes, the drywall is strong enough to hold any veneer stone like this one.

Another question, how much u guys charge for that job?? Thx 🙏
All the small gaps where you put the wedges don't matter? seems like they would stand out?

At the very beginning you put something down on the hearth. What was it and why did you do it.
This particular hearth wasn't level with the sidewalls, so we added a layer of mortar to level it out.
Will the thinset/mastic damage the drywall if you ever remove the stone?
Yes, you would have to scrape the mortar and skim the wall to get it ready for paint.
If you're putting stone veneer over drywall, you're doing it wrong.
Ya que no explicas ,hubiese sido mejor un video mas lento para ver el trabajo de las esquinas y así poder ver bien los detalles
I would rather listen to you on how you do this job then listen to this music!
