Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this. I moved to Portugal and figuring out a responsible approach helps take out so much of the guesswork. Appreciate your upload. Thanks again.
Love your videos man!! The only thing my Dad would yell at me about is that one horizontal bed joint that runs all the way across. It’s a foot or 2 below the soffit. The old stone rules 2 over one and no bed joints longer than 3 stones or something like that is what he would be yelling .
Thanks for the video. Question: what is the product name of the 'stones' that you are using? I believe you mentioned in the video that they are concrete forms made to look like natural stone. Would love to find the 'stone' product you are using or something like it for an outdoor wall. Thanks again!
What did you use or how did you mix that darker, pewter looking mortar you used? Is that straight out of a bag or did you add color to achieve that darker gray look? I am needing to grout a wall I made with field stone veneer but I am having trouble deciding on a good color to accent the stone. I tried a buff but it just looks bad and I really like the look you achieved with the mortar you used to grout in with.
Hi Mason: Nice Video on Grouting a Stone Veneer Wall. I have a question I hope you can help me out with. I have a framed stone veneer chimney about 35' tall sitting against a 67 degree roof located in the mountains of NC. It is going to be really tough to get to, so I am building a wrap around scaffold all the way to the top for the re-pointing effort. The chimney is framed on the inside, OSB board overlay with lathing wire, then real stone on top. It is about 20 years old. The issue is it is leaking, badly. From the looks of it part of the problem was a poor grouting job in the first place, that was added to by a lack of maintenance, with a final issue of sloppy and poorly done repair. There are a lot of cracks, loose chunks, and soft areas you can rub out pretty easily. Anyway, any recommendations on preparing the chimney for the re-pointing process? Do I want to chisel out all the cracked areas? Do I need to use a grinder beyond the taking out what will come out with the chisel? And... what exactly is the mix I should be using to re-grout with; is there grouts that are waterproof (it rains a lot here on the mountain), or ones better for longevity, as I don't want to do this again. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank You Lee
Old stone mason from UK I'll just use a hulk and little striking tools feed in the joint pont as go so much quicker that all way dun it like that 🍺👍 way you are doing it you got to let go off A bit and then strike it I just find it takes too long like that you do nice work 🍺👍
I just had my full foundation done and finished wrapped with a waterproof membrane. I don't like the look of the membrane and would like to cover the foundation walls with stone veneer. My question is what would you suggest to put over the membrane to make a flat surface for the stone veneer.? The membrane comes up 1-2 feet above the ground surface. In other areas the membrane come up even higher. How can I cover all the foundation wall completely with stone veneer.?
Yo mason I see all them asking why don’t you point it as you go. I do it the same way bro I lay all my stone and then I point everything when im done. I point really fast so it makes sense to me to do it all at once too. Also by the time im done laying stone for the day im getting in the truck and going home!!! You the man awesome work as always
Yeah I like to think I’m faster this way lol. Right haha, I like to do everything at once. All the scratch coat, all the stone, then all the pointing. Thanks bro!
Hey why don't you joint at the end of each day what you got done or are you getting paid by the hour you'll be old man your way with all those little joints
Bro stick with block work i respect you as a mason you stick good stone theres many different ways to finish it but brother that not a real efficient method all wrong
@@FIREONMOUNTAINTOP 😊 he will figure it out brother he's all good his striking is novice stone work is on point there mant different styles of finish his just sucks and he s happy with it its all good no big deal you lay
@@FIREONMOUNTAINTOP oh yeah no I don't use the grout gun finger squeeze addition all though ive heard of hydraulic grout guns never used one groutt bag icing on the cake tried and true Bro

Nicely done! A lot of tips I hadn't seen on other channels, like wet the bag and use brushes to finish.
Makes me happy seeing you grouting the whole wall😂😂😂😂 you keep my business running great sir 👍
Great videos my friend! Its hard enough to do the work, I appreciate your extra work recording this - by yourself! I know, because I've tried.
Excellent video. Thank you. I need to fill in my rock wall today. Now I know how!!!!

I used regular stone mortar. It dries white. You can buy bags of colored mortar at most brick places
Thank you!! I did a field stone veneer wall. I used your video for help. It turned out great!! Thank you!
Nice work Mason. Thanks for the great info
Looks good
Thanks!
I owe you a beer. I’m doing my fire place

You have to tapcon wire lathe over all of it then put a scratch coat of mortar on the wire
Can you let me know name of material and brand name to

Fold the bag easier to fill
Спасибо за обзор
How do I take stone work off my house it’s real stone am I hate it
Hammer drill with the flat Jack hammer bit in hammer mode
in bucket with grout put in some dishwashing liquid maybe as much as bottle cap you will thank me later
Why didn't grout as you went with the stone mason you'll be a old man by the time you get that done grouting and tooling up
I get it done all the way to the top. Then grout on the way down. I can clean it in the way down and not have to worry about a mess
Hey why don't you joint at the end of each day what you got done or are you getting paid by the hour you'll be old man your way with all those little joints
I find this to be the best way for me
I grout way faster than i lay. I lay as much as possible everyday. Then i can grout it all in a day most times
Very helpful and simple Thanks homes! 🫡
