Pay up for bonding adhesive and mix your type S with 20 percent bonding adhesive and rest water and brush bonding adhesive on wall and stone, would be the best 40 dollars you could spend, l won't do any stone job without it,, and just use type S mortar don't mix any sand and Portland with it,,

Whats the total cost of this part of the project, material and labor? Out of curiosity, I know things differ from a lot of factors

I can’t believe you’re not using something like Arden x5 or x77 in place of the cheap cement when you’re sticking something so expensive to it.

That's a good product but not really necessary for an exterior veneer like this in my opinion. Maybe if it were in a fountain or shower, something continuously exposed to wet conditions.

What are you considering for light switches and automation? I used a Lutron RadioRA2 system for part of the build - I'm no expert, but if you going that route we could chat about the experience. Just a homeowner, that's all, but I do have a B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering, not that the degree would get me a cup of coffee, but does give me some cred in my current occupation! Take care.

Going simple to start, standard rocker switches and dimmers. We will have a PoE camera system. Probably will do a fancy integrated system once we do the addition and change everything out to be common. Electrical videos are in the editing pipeline 😉

Hard for me to understand how all this weight is supported. It just seems like soooo much weight. I want stacked stone veneer on top of my existing hardie board, I am told by masons that this is ok as long as all normal steps for putting over something like plywood are followed.

@georgespangler1517 Ай бұрын

It is to much weight and too many places to fail, old technology,, l use cement board and apply bonding adhesive to the wall and stone and only apply mortar too the stone and even mix my type S mortar half water and half bonding adhesive, I've tried to knock the stone off with a hammer and can't,, then I put exterior screws between the stone leaving them 1/2 inch out for the grout too grab onto and mix grout half water and bonding adhesive, it really faster stronger and cheaper than wire screen,,, think about it wire over tarpaper with a thin layer of scratch coat is weak and old technology,, listen to your mason sounds like he knows what I do

@georgespangler1517 Ай бұрын

You have really gave it two potential fail layers l would have used bonding adhesive and then scratch coat on block,, I've see the galvanized wire rust and deteriorate , it's just a galvanized coating you cut off fitting it, pay up for stainless steel if you have to use it,, l use cement board now with no scratch coat just brush on bonding adhesive to wall and stone and apply mortar too the stone only giving it no extra layer to fail,, screen wire is old technology and I've did it before cement board,, it's better faster stronger and cheaper with a 50 Year warranty.. think about it wire is usually over tarpaper with a thin layer of scratch coat, that's asking for trouble, trouble.

@georgespangler1517 Ай бұрын

You could have glued and screwed cement board to plywood and block and been ready for stone everything you did was counter productive and not as strong as cement board and it has a 50 Year warranty

@georgespangler1517 Ай бұрын

Ever heard of electrolytes, stainless steel screws on galvanized makes current and the weakest metal will eat away, learned it with boats and useing stainless steel nails with aluminum fascia, lve been building houses for 45 years and I know from experience all the mistakes you have made with just this wall thinking you know more than engineers and manufacturer,, yes it was a big mistake applying the membrane the way you have ad well as 2 layers of wire screen and people are seeing this thinking its proper, even your slab pour , l can give you many reasons not to do it that way,, lve built over 50 homes and never had a call back.

Incisive... You talk to much you worry my pet. I know I only watch for the entertainment value. I find I can watch without sound. I know you won't change because you're programed to do what you do. I do enjoy your show. I can't for the life of me understand why a person of your mechanical training is wasting your time on this project. You're way to educated. I watch a lot of DYI home builds and you are the only one that truly know and understand what your doing.

@@danielterry382 He is doing a magnificent job. You should ask him about the 800 pound stairs he built. I've been a building inspector since 1982 and I've never seen stairs built connecting the interior of a garage to a living unit. Of course, a 2 hour fire wall could suffice for seperation. Living units are forbiden to exit into a garage through a stairway. Oh, I know the inspector is the one who will make that call, but you should at least ask.
