DIY SHIPLAP FIREPLACE | WALL TRANSFORMATION

[@SpringfieldMa]

Took longer than expected because I was waiting on electric fireplace delivery. but, I copied this exactly and now 3 weeks in and I'm finally finished.

[@TheModernMann]

That's awesome! I'm glad you finally finished and that this video was helpful to you!

[@OGCJ10]

Do you have a video of it ?

[@davepritchett]

Thanks for sharing, it looks great! I just did my first shiplap project in a bathroom. I think it looks a little cleaner if you start at the bottom and nail through the tongue which is then hidden by the groove on the next board above. No exposed nail holes them to fill in!

[@TheModernMann]

That's awesome! Great advice. We will have to try that on our next shiplap project!

[@dfsdfjoidfnni1175]

Heats my whole downstairs and my upstairs hallway with no problem. Thermostat works great...beautiful flame. Quiet and easy to install

[@PALMUTTS]

That’s amazing! I’ve searched high & low and this is the best video tutorial that can be replicated!!! My next weekend warrior project!

[@alingram88]

You are the first guy I have seen do the supports on the wall and thats a great idea. My 100 year old has doesnt have a square, level, or plumb piece so this is going to make creating my mantle and making sure it looks good so much easier

[@123mjenings]

I learn a lot off y'all guts lady's DIY.ty

[@SuperChunk51]

Your video inspired me to have a go at this and 3 days in I just have to fit the ply board front to my 6ft Media wall 65” 8k Qled Samsung TV ,50 “ Led fire Great video To anyone thinking they can’t do this A stud finder ,a decent Mitre saw ,jigsaw 200 Screws And some 2X 4 and 1x6 Thanks again for giving me the inspiration to attempt this I’m so happy with the results 🇬🇧

[@locddenturedandblack5569]

Such an easy to follow tutorial. When you came back in frame without your glass I didn’t recognize you.

[@KristaCoen95]

We plan on doing something similar and already have the fireplace insert. However one thing to note is when running the electric fireplace it gets fairly warm on the top. We plan on putting cement board between the top of the fireplace insert and the wood to avoid any potential hazards! This looks great!

[@flicndills123]

Best breakdown of how to built recessed fireplace/tv wall thus far 👍🏾

[@gingereads4732]

Dj Jarvis I agree! I’ve been searching tutorials and this one just clicked for me!

[@ericpaz2854]

Nice job! But PLEASE for the love of god, when using a framing nailer or nailer of any type never hold the surface of what your directly nailing into. When you held it with two hands and she nailed it all I thought was a nail about to split the wood in the wrong direction and nail your finger.

[@Peachy08]

Oh wait till my husband gets home! He hates it when I watch stuff like this...lol. Looks fabulous and I think this will be on our to do list!

[@TheModernMann]

Haha well I’m glad our project could make it on your list! And I hope this video will help you along!

[@brax0210]

Not a big DIY home renovation person but me amd my wife will be trying this I promise super easy very for looking

[@mikewinn1484]

Love the hair cut and neck trim. Looks much better. Fireplace looks nice.

[@stevewhelan3770]

Looks amazing, great job. Ship lap is usually installed from the bottom upwards allowing you to nail the lip and hide all the nail holes...

[@TheModernMann]

Yes! Sadly this was my first shiplap experience and I realized that after doing it. Good tip though for others!

[@j.acencc6273]

Perfect video. Im a painter... minor finish carpentry... needed this for a job I have to do. 👌

[@TheModernMann]

Yeah I was just learning new things as I went! Lol

[@davidandrews8007]

Wrought iron is a good colour. Shiplap is good if a electric fireplace is installed. The fireplace is shallow and less heat. Great to keep on flame continuously without the heat.

[@mihaelachiscovici]

Yo, this thing is amazing!!! Super cute, easy to install and it adds a fancy touch to my bedroom. Perfect condition! No regrets!

[@ponchimunchy7444]

This was fun to watch and it turned out great! The only tip would be - if you wish to take it - is the camera was moving so much, at one point I just had to take a break. Just a bit more stillness would be perfect. Beautiful fireplace!

[@TheModernMann]

I took your advice and now we have 3 tripods lol I really love constructive criticism so thank you for that! And I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@ccmpursuit1]

The BEST tutorial video. Explanation is perfect

[@GardnersGarage]

Look great! Thumbs up. It’s always nice to be able to do things yourself and not have to pay someone! Good job!

[@TheModernMann]

Thank you!

[@HunnersDesigns]

Hey there! We completed our diy fireplace makeover and it was a SUCCESS! I just wanted to say thank you for this video because it gave me so much confidence to work on ours. Thank you!!

[@TheModernMann]

You’re welcome! Awesome! Just checked your out and it looks great!

[@kingsgame1916]

Great how to tutorial. Also your finish fireplace looks awesome. I sure would have liked to seeing you install your mantle. Maybe you can do another tutorial and make an example on how to put the mantle up. Thank you for your help.

[@TheModernMann]

Will do! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@BrittneyGonzales2426]

Wow so beautiful you guys did an amazing job

[@TheModernMann]

Thank you!! We love it

[@cmiller88581]

If you do a lot of diy home improvements around your house you should really think about investing in a line laser. A level and plumb laser. So helpful.

[@TheModernMann]

That’s on my Christmas wish list! Lol

[@tiffanysanchez9184]

That looks awesome you and your lovely assistant did an amazing job. 🙂

[@TheModernMann]

Thank you! We love it

[@goliathonscave9834]

Beautiful build! One issue I have with the tv/fireplace combo is that the tv is often too high for comfortable viewing. It's something I take note of because I'm a spine doctor. If you start getting headaches or a sore neck or just an uncomfortable feeling after a period of watching that tv, it's because the height of it is forcing you to arch your neck too much. The solution is to lower your tv. For my house, the center height of the tv's is less than 2 feet above eye level (while sitting). Unfortunately, that can mess with design plans when you have a tall fireplace below the tv.

[@TheModernMann]

Yeah that’s what a few people have commented on however, we haven’t had any problems! We have a reclining couch so it works really nicely! We can recline to the perfect amount while we are watching a movie and our neck doesn’t have to arch! But I’m the future if I ever mount a tv in another house, that’s something I’ll consider!

[@jdrewkelly]

We bought a MantleMount TV mount. It allows you to bring the TV out and down using pneumatic pumps.

[@darrenmurphy913]

Thanks I'm going to try this soon,and your design and approach is very accessible, I think I might pull it off :) best wishes from Ireland

[@isaacvasquez2]

Thank you for the inspiration, installed mine with your video. It really helped and stream lined the build. I got it done in a day and half. With first half day being prep work and getting the supplies!

[@TheModernMann]

Isaac, awesome! I’m glad my video helped! And isn’t it a super fun project? And not as difficult as it may seem?

[@barbkelly3524]

Great job the only thing I would have done differently is to recess the tv like the fire. Other than that looks great.

[@LifewithRogina]

Awesome job. Sending this to my husband

[@ataylor7682]

Out of all the videos I watched this has to be the best one. Very educational. Now I have confidence to do my own. Thanks.

[@gregbowe3203]

Did you ever do your own?

[@dwaynenero535]

Thanks for posting your video on this fireplace job. I am about to start the same project for someone else and it's actually the same size too. 6x8. Your tips will help me make this project a success. Thanks

[@TheModernMann]

Please let me know how your project works out! I was nervous the whole time I was building mine

[@dwaynenero535]

@@TheModernMann just wanted to say that my fireplace build came out beautifully thanks to you ( I wish I could send you pix) My outside frame was great and I assembled my inside frame first in place using very good clamps to see everything in place and then as you suggested reassembled it and attached it while laying it on the floor. Everything came out great re-attaching it to the main frame and then adding all the shiplap. The only difference was the fireplace I used, was an electric one that I inserted about 14 inches from the floor. After completing the job and as I said it came out very nice and complete, I do have a strange question, once the shiplap and trim are all nailed in and everything is painted, what happens if access is needed to the plug or if you need to change the TV or anything like that, isn't it kind of impossible since everything is closed off? In my case the people I built this for didn't have an outlet inside the area of this build but just outside the box on both sides, so we had a surge protector put inside the built box on the wall to power the TV & Fireplace and run the cord out of a small hole on the side and bottom of the shiplap, but either way, how can access be gained if needed without taking apart the wall? I thought about this afterwards when I was back home and it filled me with anxiety and nervousness, so I am wondering when my customers will call me asking this question, especially when they need to paint it and may want or need to remove the TV temporarily to do so. Sorry for the long message but was wondering if you thought about that as well. Thanks for your input, and if you would like to see pix of my build just let me know. Thanks again. D.

[@porfirio3820]

Next project for sure

[@austintozzi3017]

I about had a heart attack when she was nailing those boards together with his hands right there, I've seen so many nails come through the side of the board right where his hands were.

[@mlewellen77]

Thanks to your guys ! I did this with my house! Turned out great

[@TheModernMann]

That’s awesome!

[@eglantinafemmininefitrah]

Wow you guys are so inspiring in the way you work together and build up the foundation of the house in and out but respectively you’re relationship grows stronger as well

[@SuperDranger]

thanks for making this so simple

[@stevenrichardson7882]

Just doing a similar project myself but I decided to put the tv into a slightly oversize recess similar to your fire. Neat job though 👍

[@TheModernMann]

Oh awesome! How is it holding up for you Steven?

[@Vanessa-bv6mm]

Your video helped a lot ! Thx for sharing !

[@TheModernMann]

I’m glad it helped Vanessa!

[@brookelapham6306]

Thank you! I hope it provides some sort of help! It was my first time doing anything like this so I was nervous the whole time 😂

[@PALMUTTS]

Thanks for the video! Just finished ours! Used shiplap 👍🏾

[@TheModernMann]

Awesome! I hope it helped! We love how our turned out but we were so nervous because there wasn’t a video on KZbin on how to do a Shiplap fire place so we just kinda winged it

[@llw53one]

Awesome video, great work I will be using your tips!

[@jf9194]

Great video, thanks for posting! Maybe I missed it, but what did you do to be able to access your outlets on the wall behind the mantel?

[@TheModernMann]

I ended up adding later. I added a little access door on the side closest to the outlet!

[@thesummitofcourse]

Great idea and it looks great

[@TheModernMann]

Thank you! I was nervous it wouldn’t turn out great but we love it!

[@fnaticmedia]

Hi, what a great description video which inspired me also to go ahead and do it for my new house. Could you please share the dimensions (especially the depth) of the extension you have to make to the wall. Thanks again

[@Rarjona74]

Nice .. now shelves in each side 🥰

[@Fpcarrillo]

Always start shiplap from bottom upwards. So much easier

[@ryanridout7996]

Never put nails though the shiplap face. You shoot them through the groove and overlap. No nails will be seen.

[@TheModernMann]

Yeah after I read this comment I thought “gosh that’s so true!” My next shiplap adventure will look even better with this advice lol thanks Ryan

[@hjeffwallace]

Nope. Traditional shiplap was always face nailed. And rough. And not intended for finished surface.

[@codydonovan7356]

Fill it with wood putty and then paint it.. it’s not the end of the world

[@celia5854]

Very well done! It turned out so nice!

[@TheModernMann]

Your home layout is similar to mine. It’s open floor plan and our kitchen is in the middle of dining room and living room. I’ve been wanting to kind of split up my living room area into two. I think this would be nice to bring character tv area.

This is exactly what we’re looking to do to our fireplace! Can you tell me what you used for your shiplap? Any pics of it painted?

Thank you! I’ve been super busy lately but I’ll be posting a video sometime this week of my back yard fence build!

[@macristo33]

Very cool video and great work! I am very impressed! I am going to hire a carpenter to do this for me. I have an important question-I am kind of paranoid about fire prevention-in other words, I constantly unplug my electric heater whenever I turn it off. So when I get one of these, can you unplug the fireplace whenever you don’t use it? It looks like you can pop the fireplace out easily…
