You have the BEST home improvement channel. I can’t thank you enough! I’m a 32 y.o. woman who bought a beautiful 102 year old Victorian. I knew NOTHING before your channel. Thank you so much for what you do.
Hey Jeff I just want to say I have been watching you for couple of years maybe and I just appreciate how much clarity and technical knowledge you bring to your youtube platform through your construction expertise. Top notch work.👍🏻
No one smiles and enjoys talking about every little detail for the benefit of the DIYer like you do! Thank you for all that you show us how to do, and from the one person, two hands perspective. ❤
I'm not a professional carpenter by any means. I am however a professional home owner now that I've watched so many of your vids. Your tips and tricks have really helped me along the way. Thank you!
Your channel was my go-to for years while I renovated our 1950s ranch house that had NEVER been updated. Not only is the education fantastic, the sound, lighting, and video are great, too, and getting better all the time.
Thanks for these videos. Especially your subfloor series. Gave me the confidence to take on a shed build a few years ago. Then a major bath remodel this year. Both turned out great! A huge part of the success is thanks to you! THANK YOU for the great content!!!
my goodness Jeff that really looks sharp, when i saw the thumbnail notification i thought it was a new movie coming out..big budget & celebs to match. its clean & flawless.
My husband and I were just talking about how to build one for our old farmhouse earlier today. Perfect timing! Thank you for walking us through the process.
OMG I just literally finished my shiplap wall and was wondering "Hey when's Jeff going to post a video on this?!" I always look forward to your advice, tips and tricks!
Thank you so much for your DIY videos. I am grateful for the way you explain the little details of what you're doing. Most people doing these video's don't. I especially appreciate the video you did on drywall joint taping. It has been a game changer for me. I never understood the reason for the tapered ends of the sheets. I have been struggling thru this task for years. My latest hallway project at my house was a piece of cake following your instructions. The joints look amazing and so much less mud and time. I know where they are and still cannot see the joints. Thank you so much.
I love the simplicity of the project and how great it looks in your living room. Time to plan a similar project for our great room with an electric fireplace insert. Thanks!
My wife and I are working on finishing our modular home (horrible timing as far as prices go, but this is a dream years in the making). This video couldn’t have come at a better time for us though as we have the fireplace to finish but don’t know how. Your videos are extremely helpful and give me the confidence to try new things I can do but didn’t have the know how to get started. Thanks for all the videos and advice!
Funny enough I am doing this exact project and was not sure what to charge and this video appeared! perfect time and thanks for showing how simple it can be!
My wife and I enjoy your videos; we have well aligned French doors, and soon we’ll have Alside Ascend insulated siding thanks to you. One question for you -- What color are the walls painted in this video? Blueish steel blue? We want it in our laundry room!
mine too came original with the house... 1915 red clay brick that can be found in any town older than 1910 in north america and the UK..... THEN in about 1935 Mrs. Carrinder wanted a huge brick fireplace so it got enlarged to 7ft wide 5ft tall with a 4ft by 3ft fire box... huge granite mantle piece.... and it's cracking on the outside... this may not be cheap to fix
Hi Jim, if you use porcelain tile as a face around the fireplace with metal studs and cement board you can get a very similar look. you just need to be code compliant with combustibles nearby.
Jeff- first of all- you rock. great information etc. You made a video about you starting a buyers group. I now can not locate that. Are you no longer starting a buyers group? If you are I'd like to get active in your group. LMK- thanks for the quality videos.
Awesome project Jeff! Thank you! Pleeaaase add a video or give advice on connecting this to an existing chimney coming from an old wood fireplace in the basement. What was yours? Cheers!
Hi! This project is really helpful. I am wondering why in your project you are not concerned about how close your trim and shiplap are to your heating source. Did you do something that allows you to eliminate any concerns about combustion? Thanks!
This is good stuff dude. I have a fire place with slate square stone that we hate. This would look awesome. The MDF is heat resistant? That miter joint trick is great.
38:21 or you could pre drill those holes and use a proper socket so you don't strip the head off like you did with your impact ;) In my experience (about 20 tv mounts) most of those screw heads are a pozi heads which are like a Philips and a Robertson combined so you have less cam out
I agree with drilling pilot holes. It prevents breaking up the MDF board like that. I always buy my own Spax lag screws with the T-star washer head like I did when I mounted all my 70" TVs in my house. I've never liked those giant lag screws that come with the tv mounts.
Hello Jeff. I am going to repaint my mobile home this summer. Can you advise what I need to do to prepare for painting (how to clean - pressure washer or ...?) Thank you Jeff.
Jeff, I hope you see this. If I have carpet, do I have to remove a remnant for framing if I’m attaching the framing to the ceiling, wall and flanking bookcases? If I ever remove the fireplace, I’d hate to have a hole in the carpet but I do want to do what’s best.
Great question. I would suggest you see the fireplace as a 50 year fixture. remove the carpet so you can attach the framing. if you don't the screw can grab the fibers and make a run right across then room. Cheers!
Hi Jeff, Do you happen to have an example of a fireplace insert installed inside the wall? We can’t build out because there is a vent fairly close to our wall. Thank you
Hi Jeff, awesome looking fireplace! I’m going to be installing a shiplap accent wall in my bathroom. My question is, what’s the best way to paint shiplap? Would you advise using a sprayer or rolling with like a small 1/4” roller? Also, can shiplap be installed using only liquid nail (I.e. without actually nailing into studs?) Much appreciated and thanks for everything you do!
11:10 if the neck of your screw only has a 1" with no threads how does it sandwich? You would have to have thread ONLY in the block in the ceiling and neck in the frame and drywall for it to sandwich. so like a 2 inch neck on the screw no?
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Well if there is a thread biting into your. structure and into the block in the ceiling it can't tighten and sandwich. Is that not the whole point of the neck of the screw not having threads on it so that once it tightens it can pull itself down to the other piece of wood?
About to do this and was hoping you had a video! A lot of hack DIY vids out there. Have a recessed gas tile surround fireplace and the tile above the center gets pretty hot. Any concern with shiplap there or suggestions?
I am doing a similar project in my living room. My house was built in 1930. I have had the mantle torn out and it used to be a fire place that was closed with concrete. At this point considering what you said about the fire place and the tv, should I recess it into the wall or build a box like you did?
Jeff…. Wanting to put shiplap up on a metal studded/ drywall covered wall. The shiplap is the mdf type, as I’m looking for the clean/ smooth look. Researching basically finds 2 camps ….. trim screws or using an air nailer and adhesive … some say brads, some say finish…help me out… I only want to do this once!!
What does “zero clearance for combustibles ” mean? We’re doing a shiplap fireplace and removing the prefab mantle and tile surround of our current gas fireplace in our new 2022 home. Trying to see if we can take the shiplap all the way up to the fireplace or if that will violate code ?
Hey Jeff, I painted my shiplaps that semi-gloss looks horrible with orange peel texture. I want to repaint it, should I just paint over or remove the old paint first?
Jeff can you make a series on leveling floors, I am working on a flip that has a newly framed room combing parts of 3 old Rooms with 3 different floor heights. I assume shimming and sheathing is my best approach but I wouldn’t mind seeing how you would do it. I am using what I have learned from your channel during this flip. Feel free to stop by my channel to see my progress or to make suggestions. WV Renovation. Thanks
I heard someone a month or so ago just mention about having a problem with a new house build about this. The builders only put in electrical outlets next to the fireplace and there were no outlets anywhere else as they didn't want the tv over the fireplace. They had a previous house like that and the tv went out after a month or so due to the heat causing damage to the tv. I'm thinking that was in 1 of your videos but not sure exactly where I heard it.
There are tv's that don't have to be hard wired to your cable now? What does one do about wiring for using old dvd players or surround sound? Guessing just run them same time as you run the electrical wiring, yes?
Jeff for quick mail framing smaller projects using 2x4 studs what size nails would I use for nail gun. I found regular framing nails often split the wood? Will be finished off with nicer finish nails when I skin the project.
Shouldn't there be non-combustible material above the opening of the fireplace? Loved this video as I'm looking to do a very similar build for my fireplace. It's just my installation instructions for the fireplace box talk about non-combustible material X-amount of inches.
Hello Jeff and Team including Max I have watched so many of your videos I have lost count...I actually need your help with a very important question. I am considering buying a house with a faux fireplace. It is ventless. The insert is just brick faux wall. There is no apparent firebox at all. No screen. The logs are sitting on a floor hearth with nothing in front of it. no apparent turn on switch for electric. Would this be considered a fireplace? The fuel is propane. It appears to use a grill lighter to start it.
Get what you get... Lowes was out of the normal 2 gang boxes... had to spend an extra $2 on the "heavy Duty"... they were out of most rocker panel light switches.. had to use the cheapo toggle switches
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I have moved my remodel project as two less remodel as needed. The back bathroom here the drain fell off of the shower so rather than $15 to fix it I’m going to do a down and dirty remodel of the bathroom. I was going to put new drain lines in but not now because it’s still hard to find plumbing parts. The few I’ve had to get I’ve had to hunt for or stock with has been low at Lowe’s. So rather than move like the toilet so it fits in the room a little better along with the tub shower combo and vanity. I can’t really comment on the cost of raw materials as I’ve had plenty of extra two by force does sitting out back and a pile of sheet rock still
My husband and I recently looked at making barn doors out of mdf for our barn door business! But it’s pretty weak as a structural component. Was that “floppiness” of mdf an issue during this project?

Hi, love the corner trim work. May I ask what we’re the measurements you split the board into to make corner pieces? Thank you.
Hi Jeff love your work and detailed videos. Wanted to know how much did this project cost you for materials.
What is the best way to cover or fill the cove joint between a basement floor and walls? Any simple fix? We are not very handy.
There are tv's that don't have to be hard wired to your cable now? What does one do about wiring for using old dvd players or surround sound? Guessing just run them same time as you run the electrical wiring, yes?
That was my initial thought. There are TVs now where one cable connects to a box. The box has all the connections (power, cables, etc).
Jeff for quick mail framing smaller projects using 2x4 studs what size nails would I use for nail gun. I found regular framing nails often split the wood? Will be finished off with nicer finish nails when I skin the project.
i use 3 1/4 " and start further from the end and nail on an angle
Hey Jeff! Great stuff! You provide an excellent source of info for us DIY’ers! Question, what putty are you using to fill those nail holes?
Your the best!!
Have a qst, I was putting up barnwood and taking down the bead board and there's osb behind it, what should i do? Sheetrock?
What was the pink goo that was used for the nail holes? I usually use caulk but it never quite fills the holes.......
When installing shiplap should you start at the bottom or top?
Love your channel, hope you Canadians are doing ok under Trudeau!
We have survived many storms up here.
Shouldn't there be non-combustible material above the opening of the fireplace? Loved this video as I'm looking to do a very similar build for my fireplace. It's just my installation instructions for the fireplace box talk about non-combustible material X-amount of inches.
Same question as Stu. How can combustible MDF be allowed that close on the top?
Nice wood watch! How do keep that thing looking clean with all the dust?? lol Love your channel!

That's a fantastic way the finish a fireplace. Could you do that with a wood burning fireplace?
with wood you need a little more clearance to combustibles.
