I've been a general contractor / wood worker / DIYer for 20 plus years. The Wainscoting Layout Calculator has changed my life forever! The math / layout is always the worst part of the project for me. THANK YOU!!!
Great to hear!
I like what you did.... Something different than the shiplap
Thanks!
You did a really great job. I'm looking at doing my family room similar to this.
You can do it!
That was a great video. Very helpful and informative. It definitely gave me the confidence to try it at home.
You can do it!
Looks amazing. Great job❣️
Thank you! 🤗
Great job
looks great. good job and thank you for sharing..
Thanks for watching!
We are in the process of building ours but not sure how we make sure the edges are seamless where the plywood meets. Any suggestions?
I really like this. I would stop at the ply wood stage and frame it. The battens are optional right? Thanks though, I’ve been trying to figure out how to spice up my rental! U laid everything out so perfectly.
Absolutely!
Very helpful video. Can you give a link to your laser level? Thanks
Thanks, here is a amazon link a.co/d/e6XNRB2
What was the final depth on the side of the build? I’m considering side cabinets.
Subscribed 🤙🏽
Thanks!
I am looking to do something similar. But was wondering is it possible to create something similar without ever poking any holes on the walls?
Maybe a longer extrusion from the wall and a wider base on the floor?
Possibly, but if you want it to reach the ceiling I would attach it to the wall. They sell TV stands with built in fireplaces on Amazon. Would be cheaper than building one yourself.
Nice job but shouldn’t you prime before painting?
It was a paint and primer in one, worked well for me.
Can you come to Columbus Ohio and do some for me . Is it possible
Super cool, I want to build almost the same cinewall do u know the dimensions of the wall? And what fire brand do you use. Greetings from holland 🇳🇱
The fireplace wall is 7 feet wide, 8 feet tall. I have a dimension breakdown in the description. For more information on the fireplace insert you can watch my video on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/AjUWcS9KAHU/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for watching!
What is the height of your mantle from the floor? Great job!
Thanks! 44.5 inches to the top of the mantle from the floor.
@@thebuildsociety Thanks for the response! Just built an entertainment wall in my basement and trying to decide whether or not a mantle will fit well, but it would be right around that same height so that is reassuring!
what size tv do you have hanging there ? thanks in advance
65 inch
How much did it cost you in total for materials for this build. Love it!!
$750 give or take a few $
I know I can do this. I just need all the tools 😒
Start off with a circular saw and you can build almost anything!
Want to do this in my rental so bad 🥲
Thanks for watching!
