Great job Ed. Love the way you calmly persevered. I would have been consumed with panic, anger and frustration about a minute into the grouting phase. (The language would NOT have been TH-cam appropriate!) Love how you hung in there and brought it home, and with great results. Also, your finished product sold me on option #2! Looking forward to seeing the finished product! Well done. 👍👍
Good afternoon Ed, my wife does all the tile work in our house. She had a similar experience working with travertine. It took a little more sponge work to get the excess grout off, but like you we are really happy with the finished look. We enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing the experience.
Hello Ed! Nice save on the grout! When I saw it completely covered I was.. afraid. But it turned out really nice. Maybe look at adding a "T" moulding transition around the outside edge to allow for expansion maybe in wood or metal. Looks fabulous
Chicago bricks are famous because Illinois has sand. Mines of all different types. We even export, the white, fine silica sand to places like the Bahamas for their beaches, since the seashells and sea life that dies is no longer sufficient to keep their beaches covered in white sand. So it’s only natural at Chicago would have the finest brick because Illinois has the finest sand.
Ed nice video. I don't know if this will work but you could try using a sander with different grit sandpaper. Maybe you can get a little more off to show off the bricks . Happy new year to you and Ann
Hi Eddie, questions: do you like your reciperating saw as much as you are enjoying your mini-chainsaw?😅 Advice: your neighbor is left-handed...in case you want to remove the excess cement. Comment: I thought the same "why are you getting rid of the floor boards?" Compliment: your smooth editing is seamless AND it gives an unreal time lapse...i think it will actually take 10 minutes. Thank you, Eddie. Happy New Year one & all!!!!
Thanks for taking us on your journey. Did you end up keeping the "artwork" in the right hand side of the chimney? The live you did showed that. I was thinking you were going to use a floor scrubber machine to clean the bricks off on the floor. Looks good!

Thank you, Margaret! I do love that multitool! Shout out at 14:12. 🤣
Comment: I appreciate your hearth pattern matching your outside pattern. AND thanks for the shout-out!!! Your final brick cut is a thing-of-beauty!!!!

Looks good!
Thanks! Yes the “character” is still there 😄
Pattern is Harringbone
Did you get the look you were looking for? If you decide to remove the haze on bricks, maybe you can use a wire brush attachment on an angle grinder.
Yes I’m very happy with it! Thanks!
