    I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

    This project turned out awesome! One thing I would suggest being an AV guy would be to get an articulating mount for the TV that way you could pull the tv out flush with the stone. Great job!

    • @ChazEvansdale
      @ChazEvansdale 2 роки тому +12

      100% This. Everything looks amazing, except how far inset the TV is. Thankfully it's an easy fix and it'd make this 10/10!
      Side note: I really love the wood accent!

    Nice work man. One thing Id suggest is retire the asphalt felt for good - its dinosaur stuff. Get a small roll of synthetic roof underlayment like Dupont protec. Its light, doesnt tear easy and will far outlast any felt. And you can put it on very flat unlike felt. I know its for roofs, but it would be definitely better than the felt in any application. Always looking forward to your next vid. Keep up the great work.

    Did my man say "Herth"? He's breaking my "hert". This was an outstanding project, and honestly, I didn't see anything that a total layman couldn't build with a little planning and patience. That is how easy he made it look. Well done! The patio looks awesome.

      @Eva Karmali How do we learn? By being corrected when doing something wrong. If you had spinach in your teeth, would you want to be told, or would you prefer embarrassing ignorant bliss? We like the videos enough to like and subscribe and comment because we want more and better content. Without critique, how can you improve?

    I love what you've done with that fireplace. Looks really good!
    Looking at that space, for me, I'd have gone a different direction I think.
    I'd have still stoned the wall, but I'd have turned that into a full waterfall wall instead, with uplighting. Perhaps continued it on the floor right through the middle of the seating area as a recirculating river.
    As for tv, I'd have just installed a motorised screen on the wall opposite the barbecue and a projector on the opposite wall.

  • @tysoncurrie7745
    @tysoncurrie7745 2 роки тому +4

    Looks awesome. a few things I would of done as well was move the inside fireplace exhaust with metal fireplace exhaust pipe to the top somewhere and then install another fireplace for the outside witch would of looked killer instead of a black metal screen covering the exhaust location where it looks like a fireplace should be. And another thing I would do is stick the TV on a wall mount so you can pull it out flush with the stone wall and or tilt it up or down and turn it right or left depending on your seating location. But man what a killer idea and project you did👍

  • @johnkennedy179
    @johnkennedy179 2 роки тому +1

      I dont think he can. I don't even think this would pass code. The fireplace exhaust is not fully exposed. He can't put an electric insert in without doing the same to inside.

    Only thing i was curious about was what was the way you waterproofed the sill of the TV area from allowing water to get behind the mantel? Also, what were the 1X2's for over the siding?

  • @NathanRyan10

    Possibly put on some bifold doors on either side of the TV opening. Keep it closed to help prevent any elements from reaching the TV.

    I watch all your videos and this one might be my favorite. All of it looks great. I might tackle something similar in the near future. Also disregard all the UA-cam “construction experts” that are quick to give shade before praise.. we all have to make mistakes to learn and this project you did awesome man!

  • @billhaughenberry2917
    @billhaughenberry2917 2 роки тому +5

    I agree with everyone it does look nice my concern is safety did you happen to look up your installation man online to find out what the clearance was for the vent cap on the outside looking at it it looks like it’s an HHT product which would be heatilater or heat and Glo I am guessing a Novus 42 but I can’t tell from the video the three things that concern me the most is you’ve added the alcove to your vent location, the distance from the top of the vent to the bottom of the soffit you added I don’t believe meets minimum clearances. The way those vents work which I’m sure you’re aware of uses 100% outside air through the vent and bust the bad gases carbon monoxide etc. out through the center of that. The problem with that is how hot the exhaust gases are and then you taste them with combustible even though you’ve covered it with stone It’s still is a combustible and it’s not that you’re going to have a fire tomorrow it’s just after a few years of drying those studs out that lowers the combustion temperature. My suggestion would be to call the manufacturer or the distributor of that fireplace ask your Builder if you don’t know where it came from or simply look down below where the valve and stuff is and you will see how you are listed tag with that will give you the manufactures name and model number with that you can find them in the Yellow Pages if you can find any yellow pages in 2022 lol I think you know what I mean. Most of the fireplace companies in my area anyway will at least guide you as far as safety clearances go.
