Great job Doc, looks amazing. Always look forward to watching your videos. Bring on spring and yard work again

I agree w/you regarding the stone, it really makes the house pop, gives the finished appearance and is beautiful. Jeannette

Hey Doc, you vision for the farm house is outstanding. From how it looked when you purchased it to now is just remarkable. Good work!

Well done. Thanks for your straight forward, no BS approach

Looks great.I have been a mason for over 25 years.The key is use the right motor not the pre mixed motor were you add water but the kind you mix yourself with sand.Its all about the right sand to motor ratio.I have never had a issue.If there is more sand to motor ratio you can rake it out with your fingers after it's set up.But the way your doing it is fine.More than one way to skin a cat.Keep up the good work.

WOW!!! The stone looks great with the house color! Good job, guys!!

In the process of building a barndominium just west of Waco, Texas. It in limestone country, I found a limestone veneer and was looking for a better way to adhere. Looks like you answered my question. You earned a subscriber.

The stone looks amazing-great job!

It DOES look amazing! Great decision. Nice job!

Do you have a link to the product you bought at Lowes? The stone veneer?

Looks amazing and I like your thinking on the double adhesive

Looks great! You could save yourself a lot of time by using a 2x4 on edge to lay your first layer of stone on.

I built a mailbox out of similar stone, it looked great and was so much fun!

Hey brother I’m a mason and I gotta say that’s a classy looking veneer. Cool way to apply it too I would’ve never thought of glue. Great job brother. I got some videos on stonework. Really nice job on that foundation!

"I don't trust anything" - this is very good advise, I've tried new products like this in the past and have had serious problems. Best to wait and see if they're still around in 5-10 years. Also, that's extremely slow installation in comparison to a veneer mortar installation. Depending on the climate and area you live in, there are bonding/glue agents that go over etched paint and form a monolithic surface in a matter of an hour or two and are incredibly strong. We've been installing stone this way for over 30 years and have never had a project fail. In fact a home we installed stone veneer on 12 years ago, the home owner wanted to change the stone to a modern look. It was an absolute nightmare getting the old stone off.

Exactly how I would have approached glueing the stone on too!!! Having a contingency approach helps eliminate any problems down the road!!!!

This video made me so happy. :) Great job!! It looks so sharp. Not to mention your remark that covering the foundations upped the price tag on the house. About to do the same thing myself to my little cottage in SC. Hoping to take this little money pit and make it a real lovely home. :) Cutting my own veneers from salvage brick and now using STICKY STONE!

The project looks great and thanks for the tips

I agree adhesives have come a long way. Look at most new cars now and you'll see the seams are glued instead of the long welding beads of yesteryear.

I thought it looked great. Excellent choice of stone color!

Great job. Thanks Doc

Beautiful job guys !! That house looks amazing. Subscribed .

Looks beautiful Doc. The earth tones look outstanding next to the red paint. Sounds like you didn't get your Buck 🦌 this year. Well maybe next year.

Looks great Doc

Looks great doc

You got to paint your storage shed the same color as the house, when you have time. That red looks good. Great choice of color.

Looks amazing!

Wow what a difference!

Doc , I've also have used Landscaping Adhesive with great results.

Great compliment!

Looks Awesome!!!

Looks great 👍

When done I think you’re going to forget about the beach house… Great work

Great job!!

Beautiful work 😊

Thanks Doc. Good info.

ARDEX MORTAR is really good stuff.👍🏻🇺🇸

It's important if you use mortar use the right stuff, I generally use spec mix with a good ratio of adhesive added for two reasons, first is for strength of bond and secondary it gives the mudd some flexibility and waterproofing properties, I do a test each time I'm laying where I install a stone 2 inch by 2 inch take lunch and try to remove it when I get back, even after an hour or so it takes a hammer to remove it and it's bond strength is impressive.

sold. im building a concrete house with rocks embeded and some of them didnt bond well in the pour. i think i will try this out thanks for the video.

looks Great!

I’ve seen Rosetta Stone used a lot as well.

That stone looks great with that house paint color! Would love to know how that adhesive holds up a few years down the road. We're starting a build this month and looking at saving $$$ where ever we can but don't want to use products that need replacing in a short time span.

Have you ever tried polymer modified mortar? It’s really good stuff. We had to take off stone after stuck it would literally take of the cement board with it. I’ve laid it on CMU, and wire lath also but never had to take any off.

Its never a good idea to cover the vents, but I agree it looks great.

Could you please give of the color and manufacture of this stone, it is beautiful.

I wish they made that stuff in a small tube. I could use some to repair my concrete pavers and planters.

That looks Beautiful 👏. Our home is painted concrete block and i qould love to do a stone or beixk finish like this on the whole exterior. Any recommendations? Thank you for sharing 👍. Stay safe healthy and happy ✝️ 🇺🇸

Sticky stone is the best expensive but worth it you actually skip two steps wiring it and scratch coat

You also need ear plugs. The red in the brick really brings this together

Yeah, for some reason those drip edges are always beat to heck!

I learned a few things, so thanks, but I'm still going to pay someone to do my house. I have no experience with stone, and I just don't want to work that hard! An experienced crew can probably do it in 1/4th the time it would take me.

🤩 Nice 👍

Nice video and very informative. Would sandblasting the old foundation be an alternative and faster ? Thanks again

Should have put some sills in tho still looks nice

Nice!!!

Thank you! Can this adhesive be used on stucco?

Can we use this method on an inside old red brick fireplace? Thank you

Can one use Sticky Stone on hardiplanking around a modular house?

What kind/ brand of stone veneer did you use

impressive! my foundation is cement block with cement veneer. will the 'sticky stone' stick to the veneer?

Look way better, what about a sealer?

For inside installation can i use the polymer modified mortar ( like the tile cement) ? Thank you.

Is that crawl space behind that block foundation wall? I hope so

How much would something like this cost looks amazing I have blocks foundation

WHO TOOK THE BLAE GAURD OFF THAT ANGLE GRINDER! LOL!

Asthetics definitely helps to sell.

15:38 Please give the exact name and a source for the instant tack/insta-tac (or whatever) product, the one that sets in 5 seconds for interior use. Thanks!

Curious how well the adhesive holds up. Would be very easy to repair I suppose. Time will tell

What was the stone brand ?

There is a reason that metal lath is on back of stone ........its for mortar adhesion!!! Use the right mortar and it's not an adhesive problem.

How’s the longevity of this adhesive?

We used mesh and mortar

How do you think this product would work on plywood

Stone from Lowes, brand name?

What cut off wheel did you use?

it’s crazy what they charge for it.

We have used this stone, falls apart when you cut it also

Well first off this is a thin veneer stone, not conventional stone. Wether adhesive applied veneer stone will last as well as traditional stone layed in mortar will take time to tell. I dont personally think that the lick and stick method will make it. As for the moisture getting behind it, isnt that why you installed the flashing under the siding? Mind you now i agree that the ( fake ) stone we see so much of today looks very nice. But like so many other things today we will just have to wait a few decades to find out how it holds up.

Please answer the people's questions? What brand of veneer is that? Do you still recommend not over other brands?

Nice. Where you get the stone from?

Can’t beat some type s mortar

Yup.dry pack.

Laticrete platinum 254 or 255 works faster and is waterproof.

Are you gonna rent it?

next time lace the corners

What's the cost

So, over time water will get in between the stones, then when it freezes, it will pop off. I'm not a fan of mortarless stone.

You haven't laid any of those break yet have you please tell me you're not

The corners reveal that it’s fake stone

First

Looks great 👍
