Wonderful job. At the end of the video, it would be nice to see a completed project showcase set of views from multiple angles including a wide-angle shot that shows as much of the work as possible.
I would have NEVER thought to lay some stone over the existing fireplace brick. What a relief!! No demo, no installing heat tolerant cement board....awesome!! And I was "today old" when I learned about Kerdi!
Your son's are so lucky to have a DYI dad, major props to you sir for showing them all rhat you know. They will have the knowledge now to pass on to their children as well.
I agree 100% with the "no casement look" at the top. And you know... the reason many would have to because they're lack of workmanship would have forced them to due to a un-necessary gap. Another great video, guys.
I couldn't believe that I hadn't subscribed yet when I watched this video. I've been viewing your videos for weeks now! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and expertise, Stud Pack!
100K BOYS!!!!! WOW! WAY TO GO!!! Whiskey bay mention! If you’ve ever driven to NOLA coming from Houston you know Whiskey bay…..if you’ve got tools in Whiskey bay….they gone! Great usage of existing fireplace.
Stumbled across your Channel .... & I was hooked!! you guys killed it! Totally informative, quick & too the point without being too technical & impersonable. You guys make a great pair!! Can't wait to watch more and thanks for sharing your knowledge
The brick look with a German war is very popular right now brick is beautiful it just needs some love some new mortar !! That would of looked so cozy and beautiful 😍
I actually came to this video because I thought it was about mortar-washing brick. Lol! But I stayed to watch the fine craftsmanship you did on this fireplace. I'm so impressed with the work along the ceiling! That's the work of a master. Beautiful work that you make look so easy. Well done!
This fire place in this video is legit the exact fire place in my home right now. Built in 1983 too. Thanks for the videos, definitely helping me out with the projects I’m working on in my home.
That fireplace came out like a 2 trillion dollar fireplace good job there stud pack you work good with your child keep up the good work I'm still learning watching you so keep recording I'm going to keep watching this is probably my 7th video this evening 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🙏🙏
I have done a few dozen of those for customers so far. Your techniques are perfect and well explained. I would just add to not let the customer select the stones are the quality varies greatly and the bad ones are such a nightmare that you should decline to install them. Also price yourself to include grouting touch up for gaps. Trust me, you will need some grout here and there. You will also need to air clean the whole wall with air from a compressor to really clean it (you will be amazed how much stone dust will come out). Then brush some stone sealer over the whole thing. These last three steps (grout, air, sealer) will make the wall look like a million dollar job.
What will make your videos more watchable is showing more of the visual process of the project and techniques in detail shots to teach others this is why people look at projects to learn the skills to replicate on their own. I know you love your Dad by focusing your camera mostly on him most of the video. But well done to both of you Fireplace looks amazing…❤
Production value particularly with the music choices for me was off the charts. LOVE the variety of music styles. Big props, my dudes. OH, yeah and you forgot the money shot...uh, big reveal to see the final result...is what I meant.
You guys are awesome together. Your youngest would be well advised to tag along on the regular, he would find that these skills will never not be marketable. Carry on dudes!
I am currently exploring options for covering the brick that is halfway up the wall on my fireplace. I’ve noticed people either love it or hate it!! For now, the red brick is staying….. 🙂
I have a curved beam above my gas fireplace. Not sure how to tackle that. Maybe stone halfway and then a wood accent. The wood is going to be easier to cut to fit that curve. Really enjoyed the video and explanations were on point.
What did you do to finish the open edge around the opening to fireplace? I know the edge of them tile's look just as bad as the backside..showing bits of glue and not being finished of course due to the cut. I probably would have trimmed it out with small angle iron or some kind of metal sticking out like 3/4"-7/8" and painted with that same black paint and butted the cut to it. I used that same stone a few different times. I remodeled a master bathroom a few years ago and we reframed the bathroom and changed the layout and customer's wanted to add a free standing bath but with the massive shower we just built I didn't have a ton of space but had a huge hallway on outside so I bumped the wall out like a bay window so didn't take up 2 much space and looked as if was a planned detail. Customer's picked the white stone to be installed on the 3 alcove wall's and choose a spout to be centered on long wall but with the stone not being flat and also wanted to push it off the wall I made up a 2 piece block out of 5/4" Azek and step the blocks to give detail and routed the edges. Worked great. Only suck part of it was not even a yr later tbey called me back and said they didn't call to point fingers and already purchased new materials but if I can come give them a labor price to pull tub,remove white stone and backerboard and install new black stackstone bc the white started to yellow. I thought maybe it was a little in their head but when I got there I was shocked. I never reached out to msi to look into it and the only thing I could come up with was maybe due to them having well water and it having alot of iron in water. The only water that touched these walls was just maybe some moister that wasn't sucked out by the exhaust fan. The white was the only color I ever had a problem with. I also used them stones in other spots around that house..one spot was a accent wall that was 14'w X 22'h in one of the tan colors and all the other spots looked just like tbe day we left but that white looked like it was around a family of smokers that only smoked in that room with doors and windows closed for 20yrs. And this was also a smoke free home. It was crazy but maybe something to look into b4 using the white stone
I think it is great, but I worry about the join lines being so visible. My wife notices everything. We got a new kitchen put n and she walked in and immediately said the cabinets were 2mm lower down on one side. She was right, but that 's the crappy floor we have.
Hi Paul, I hope you get this...I love this project and want to Transform my Painted Brick Fireplace. I know that thin set will not bond to the paint. What can I do? I am thinking of skimming with mortar. Will that work? Or do I need to acid wash or something else to the brick? Or will I have to put up screening first? Thanks for you help.
I ❤️ the stone and granite combo. Paul, you have a great mind for problem solving-must be the years in the business. Jordan, I wish you had shown us a wide shot of the finished fireplace. I kept waiting for it 😕. Otherwise, the framing was spot on. 🎯
I was having deja-vu when you were fitting the hearthstone. I laid some hardwood in my Dad’s house, and had to come up to a hearth clad in stone that was put in when the room was carpeted. I spend an afternoon with a hammer and small chisel trimming the stone so the hardwood would slide in underneath. Looks much better than a piece of quarter-round. :)
Very nice job lads. I think I would've used the corner stones instead of black paint as on close inspection, the bricks would be visible on the return.
Love you guys. There is a product called "sticky stone" for mainly outside stoning on bricks or block walls. And for outside and inside a product called , "SRW". The SRW for inside hanging stone on sheet rock is thinner and you use a corking gun and bead the back. You're a pro so you will know how many beads according to length. Note: STICKY STONE is a sausage so you would need to order their gun for it. Either one of these products are slip resistant and dry fast. No more spreading thin set and it cuts back on time and messes. Try it out. And tell Jordan his humor enhances the shows. Be blessed and remember to give back.👍🏽🙏🏾
The only thing you guys forgot was the finished product! We need to see it all together in one single shot
I know 😔 Video almost got delayed another day due to the fact that I didn’t get any shots of it finished. Totally my bad
Absolutely, im into seein the work not guys, I don’t do guys.
24:30 shows the whole thing, just watch the whole video dude.
Yeah, kinda notice that too. I kept waiting for them to pan back for the full view, but....
Beautiful!.Job well done
That must be so cool to work with your boy and Teach him work ethic and a trade... Father's Dream!!

Much appreciated 👊
PBS has This Old House. Another network needs to pick you guys up. Fantastic work.
They could probably make a lot more on TH-cam than on public television.
Congrats on hitting 100k subscribers, guys !
Thx for the support JL 👍
Well deserved 100k mark! I'd guess Stud Pack has a really good average view duration.
I couldn't believe that I hadn't subscribed yet when I watched this video. I've been viewing your videos for weeks now! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and expertise, Stud Pack!
100K BOYS!!!!! WOW! WAY TO GO!!!
Whiskey bay mention! If you’ve ever driven to NOLA coming from Houston you know Whiskey bay…..if you’ve got tools in Whiskey bay….they gone! Great usage of existing fireplace.
Thx TJ 👊
Love some Sunday morning stud pack!!!
👊💪
I really enjoyed your video. Straightforward with no nonsense.
Stumbled across your Channel .... & I was hooked!! you guys killed it! Totally informative, quick & too the point without being too technical & impersonable. You guys make a great pair!! Can't wait to watch more and thanks for sharing your knowledge
That last bottom row angle cut to go around that corner looks 100% CERTIFIED BALLER. Amazing work guys
Clearly one of the best. Very easy to follow.
Corner stone around firebox is a MUST for cosmetic purposes,and you didn't grout under the hearth piece,8 /10
Keep it up...
Gorgeous! Stupendous! Glorious! What skill! And the bonus? A father and son thriving together. What a blessing.
The brick look with a German war is very popular right now brick is beautiful it just needs some love some new mortar !! That would of looked so cozy and beautiful 😍
I like your attitude!!! You always smiling at work!! Nice job 👍 😎
Wow!!!! I am in shock. GORGEOUS!
Congratulations Paul and Jordan on 100K subscribers. All your hard work is much appreciated. Thanks.

As a person who works with stone for a living I appreciate the detail with the small pieces
Thx Zach 💪
God job! So much attention on the details. Home owners love it! You know your getting a quality job done right!
So much better looking now!
Y'all are awesome. The dad reminds me of a reasonable and nice version of Tuco Salomenco.
Great video to show my clients what I want to have done to their fireplaces!
This fire place in this video is legit the exact fire place in my home right now. Built in 1983 too. Thanks for the videos, definitely helping me out with the projects I’m working on in my home.
Looks just like mine too. Built in 1986. Even the mantle and the angled vaulted ceiling is the same.
That fireplace came out like a 2 trillion dollar fireplace good job there stud pack you work good with your child keep up the good work I'm still learning watching you so keep recording I'm going to keep watching this is probably my 7th video this evening 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🙏🙏

You guys are awesome. Know what you are doing and have great energy
congrats on hitting the 100k mark.
Perfect explaining beautiful finish
LOVE your Videos. My Fav part is the attention to the KEY Details that can help solidify the project as a success. You are a great teacher.....

Always look forward to your videos. By far my favorite thing to watch period.
Much appreciated Cory 👊
I like how you explain everything, the good and the bad. I learn so much from every video.
What will make your videos more watchable is showing more of the visual process of the project and techniques in detail shots to teach others this is why people look at projects to learn the skills to replicate on their own. I know you love your Dad by focusing your camera mostly on him most of the video. But well done to both of you Fireplace looks amazing…❤
I agree. I would rather see the process than nose hairs!
You two are TOP NOTCH.
Awsome work. I know TH-cam, and I saw instantly that this is a good channel. Lots of quality info for subscribers. Much appreciated 🙏

You guys are awesome together. Your youngest would be well advised to tag along on the regular, he would find that these skills will never not be marketable. Carry on dudes!
This is the second Sunday i didnt go to Church .. My Pastor said he was going to call y'all .. Great Video Gents ..
We apologize to your pastor 😇
He'll get over it .. haha
I am usually a fan of the original brick spruced up rather than covering it but I have to admit that looks really good. Great work!
Agree! So vintage and goes with the old house.
I am currently exploring options for covering the brick that is halfway up the wall on my fireplace. I’ve noticed people either love it or hate it!! For now, the red brick is staying….. 🙂
Subscribed. You guys are so knowledgeable and so excellent at your craft. Here's me struggling to put some split faced tiles in my little kitchen.
Awesome, your videos have helped me immensely. You make it for the Do It Yourselfers alot easier to understand and do. Look forward for more videos.
Cool thx Dennis 👊👍
Looks great ! Great tile work. Wish you had transformed that tired old gas fireplace as well, as the title indicates while you were at it.
My aunt used to have a white brick fireplace that I always thought was really beautiful.
I have a curved beam above my gas fireplace. Not sure how to tackle that. Maybe stone halfway and then a wood accent. The wood is going to be easier to cut to fit that curve. Really enjoyed the video and explanations were on point.
Thx Andrew!
Yet another awesome video......
Thank you Derrick 👍
... "eat his milk" ... ??? Lol. Loved the video. It helped me diy my project: Tx Hill Country White Rock fireplace with built-in bookshelves (maple).
Beautiful job. You actually know what you're doing compared to most of the trades people in the area here. Keep up the great work.
Strong work. I need u guys in my life
Damn!! Great job fellas 👏 👌 👍
I love their Sedona stacked stone. Very pretty.
You guys have mad skills!🎉

100K GUYS! BIG CONGRATULATIONS!
Man you guys are an amazing team the commentary is always energetic great video editing and your craftsmanship is incredible
I think it is great, but I worry about the join lines being so visible. My wife notices everything. We got a new kitchen put n and she walked in and immediately said the cabinets were 2mm lower down on one side. She was right, but that 's the crappy floor we have.
Om Ah Houm
Great Job!!! I can't wait to see the rest of your contents :D Cheers!!
Congrats guys on 100k. You’re truly one of kind. So much knowledge shared!

Nice work. The rock looks good but so did the brick.
I like red brick. To each his own.
I love your creative ways of smashing that like button!!! Too much fun
I ❤️ the stone and granite combo. Paul, you have a great mind for problem solving-must be the years in the business. Jordan, I wish you had shown us a wide shot of the finished fireplace. I kept waiting for it 😕. Otherwise, the framing was spot on. 🎯
I agree…wide shot
You guys going to replace all the tan rocker switches with the modern white ones throughout the house?
Yes 👍
I was having deja-vu when you were fitting the hearthstone. I laid some hardwood in my Dad’s house, and had to come up to a hearth clad in stone that was put in when the room was carpeted. I spend an afternoon with a hammer and small chisel trimming the stone so the hardwood would slide in underneath. Looks much better than a piece of quarter-round. :)
Pff pro level is just put more stone ontop of it to hide the floor. haha
Wow! I have learned a great deal, thanks.
Great work. Your experience and knowledge really were in evidence on this job.
Beautiful. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. p.s. I like Hardi too!
Thx for the support Thomas 👊
Very nice job lads.
I think I would've used the corner stones instead of black paint as on close inspection, the bricks would be visible on the return.

Great video! Did you reinstall the mantel? Do you have a video for that?
Beautiful job 💕💕👏👏
Beautiful job guys.
I've done a similar project in the past, but not with this precision....excellent job...I'm very impressed!
Happy to join your FB and love all the tips you give us all!
Looks awesome! I wish I could get you guys on my kitchen remodel in Minnesota!
Thx John 👊👍
I wish there was more of a visual explaining and showing how and why you started at the top on the side pieces. But still great nfo.
Just beautiful
