DIY Electric Fireplace Wall (Step By Step) | Shiplap

[@nhuhuong4202]

This kzbin.infoUgkxATHBlMJwipGgVWseuAFKvDQ_5R4_lywo unit was an easy install and turned out amazing. The dimensions were exact! I took a chance and built the wall prior to receiving the unit which arrived sooner than expected and it fit right in the space I constructed. The heat output is perfect for the space we needed and made the room exactly how we envisioned it to turn out. I am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. Thank you for the awesome product just in time for the holidays.

[@justlycadag810]

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

[@shift_work]

Just finished this, and my wife is SO stoked! Thank you for sharing!

[@danielmilam5890]

Simple is the best way. I like that you did this with the least amount of tools possible. Sometimes DIY videos are full or expensive tools which can be discouraging to the average hobby builder. You did a great job man. Keep building!

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

I am glad you liked it. I am new to DIYing so I don't have a lot of the fancy tools, so that makes me happy to hear you enjoyed the video :)

[@prathyushachundi248]

I agree with you @danielmilam5890. I am still wondering what kind of tools we need. I am like a just born baby in terms of diy..can someone please suggest me what tools should I use..

[@JTREY72]

I just built one using all of your steps, thank you! This video was very helpful. Mine is 86” wide with a 56” fireplace so I just made a few adjustments. Turned out great thanks to you! 👌🏻

[@missdyi]

love that you focused on your carpentry techniques. well do

[@brooklynleavy5753]

This is the best step by step explanation I’ve seen. We are planning on DIYing this in a few months.

[@dimontevinson3521]

I done watch a million contractors pages on how to build these thing and a lot of them where very confusing this by far the best video for someone that ain’t a contractor and to explain it to ppl that don’t know what they doing I wish more videos would be like this good job bud great f****. Job this video needs a million likes

[@JeanSantana000]

Great job man, I am still trying to convince myself that I am capable of doing something like that... EDIT: I did it and the result was far beyond my expectation - so I thanks this video for being one of my inspirational's videos :)

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Yeah, I had to do the same thing before I started thing project! So I know how you feel. haha but now that i have done it, it really isn't that hard. You got it!

[@yourthoughtsoutloud]

Likewise. I’m going to make an attempt today!!

[@boyankovic6211]

I'm going to give it a shot too! Just make sure you have all of your supplies BEFORE you begin so you don't sit around waiting on things. But seems pretty straight forward. Good luck!

[@cyber5006]

This is awesome and simpler than I thought. I think I can handle this.

[@Kouklitsa891]

Will be using this as a guide for our basement fireplace! Thanks foe the video!

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

That is so cool to hear. That basement is going to look awesome.

[@juliegatesman9501]

This is the BEST most descriptive and step by step videos on how to build the frame. Exactly what I needed! Thank you!!!!

[@tanyabetterblessed1401]

Thank you for posting valuable steps on how to EASILY build this been watching KZbin videos to find one that I can easily follow and so glad I found you youre great and I will be using your video to build my tv fireplace wall thanks again 👍🏻

[@pearlhall3787]

Thanks for telling us what you did, instead of just showing us it in fast motion, like so many others, unfortunately do. I hate it when they do that. I just move on, when they do that. It doesn't help me a bit. Great job!

[@juliegatesman9501]

This is exactly why I LOVE this video!!!!! Those other videos are so frustrating!! I needed to see every step to build the frame. This is fantastic and for the first time I feel like I can actually do this!!!

[@phyllisjrcrestorationdecordesi]

I love it...AND knowing you did it ALONE is very helpful to know, because I REALLY want to attempt this on my own also. TFS

[@DaRealArtist]

Great video and tips. I decided to use a similar concept to build my electric heater wall, in which I also built in shelves. Currently, I’m debating on the choice of material to build the sleeves for shelving.

[@maureen8930]

Wow for a for a simple handyman. You did a great great job. I love it.🎉🎉🎉

[@danimondschein303]

Thank you! My husband and I just finished ours. Wish I could add a photo. We love it.

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Yeah, I wish you could post a photo here. I would love to see it! :)

[@janwindham2309]

❤ i absolutely love this!!!! I am going to attempt it for my bedroom! Thanks for your video!

[@johnpaulnicula7866]

I think you did a really good job! Slow and steady wins the race

[@walkerjw81]

One does not simply apologize for vertical video recording. Heh, great video. We have one I have just externally mounted. I want to frame it into the actual wall though. May just do this though, but drywall or wainscote it. Thanks again!

[@fitnessfinessewrae3779]

Love the detail explanation on how you built it. Thank you! Looks Great!!!

[@jacquelinemcmillan2793]

So im hoping to do this next week having never even picked up a power tool before it should he fun lol this is the best tutorial ive saw by far and believe me i watched lots

[@Re-Laxingsounds]

Awesome video. Glad I watched it before I tackle a similar build.

[@OmarGonzalez-qy8bk]

Jan 2023 and this is helping me a lot. Thanks G

[@tabathakegley325]

This was the PERFECT video! Thanks!

[@greg.s8592]

Thanks for the video, I`m grateful that you used terms that I can understand, as I`m not the handiest guy. I would like to do something like this and after watching your video, I`m confident that I can do this

[@choseniam9926]

I like that hes not a pro and he just does his best awesome vid bro

[@datsva4ya]

Awesome video, great build, super inspired, KEEP GOING!💪🏾

[@michaelmurphy5887]

good job. with the fire place drawing over 12 amps I would strongly recommend using a plug on a dedicated circuit, not any plug in your house.

[@GradySpencer]

I’m about to do this exact thing…thank you for the great video!

[@JesseMcConnell04]

Going to build a similar one this weekend! Only thing I would do different is add a mounting plate for the TV so you dont have to hit the studs directly

[@pavi77]

You make this look so easy! Thank you for all your advice!! Truly appreciate your tutorials!!

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

You are so nice! Thank you so much.

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Looks wicked going to attempt this myself soon 🤞🏼hope it turns out like yours thx for the vid

[@irismarie6515]

Same here

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Awesome! Best of luck :)

[@amberartise1]

Yo this is like the best video ever! I feel like I can do this! You explained all the why’s and that is so helpful.

[@areich6]

Thanks for the video instructions!

[@robhazlitt5349]

Thank you so much for your video! It looks amazing and gave us the confidence to do our own using your technique! It looks fantastic. Thanks again.

[@sanchezryno]

Man this looks great. Awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@tommycop284]

Awesome video man. Will help me a lot for this project

[@bluehorizon5149]

Nice job, well done bro. I wish wood was as cheap here in Scotland as it is over there, we get robbed by all the "DIY Stores" And "The Builders Merchants" !!!!!

[@solaron99]

Awesome DIY build!

[@jeeperdiy1267]

Wife saw this and now I'm building it 🤣.. great job on the video and it looks great.

[@kcranny9375]

Motivational, I plan to use your video to build mine. Great video

[@irismarie6515]

AWSOME job.

[@terridaigle6435]

Very nice..great explanations throughout.

[@lauriepayseur5897]

Great job! Looks awesome!

[@ginashave3227]

Great job. I am starting one very similar to yours as soon as my fireplace is delivered.

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

So exciting! Best of luck :)

[@golfergal]

Looks great...we are going to do this in our new home we bought. Thinking of stacked stone, but I do love the ship lap.

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Yeah, stacked stone would look awesome! If I do something like this again I think I will try stone.

[@craiglist308]

nice music man and thanks for the easy step by step... to me it looks kinda easy to make an inset space for the TV, but maybe that would look weird??.. Seeing this project makes me want to add more to it!! thanks for sharing this video!

[@ronnieduran7799]

Absolutely awesome ! Great vidieo!

[@katrinamilton7598]

Great job. My hubby and I hope to attempt this soon☺️

[@MJ50636]

This looks great man good job 👍

[@chrismcintosh1553]

Amazing job! It really adds a lot of dimension to the blank wall. This looks almost exactly like what I want for my new condo... can I hire you to build me one? 😂

[@julieraichart7961]

Wow, you did an amazing job! It's beautiful

[@adamc.4125]

Nice job,I'm going to do it myself too, thanks for the video

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

That is so awesome! Hopefully the video helps :)

[@nexhathalimi476]

I would deff recomend leaving the fireplace exterior on the outside of the shiplap incase you need to unplug it or something its easier to remove and re install

[@pinchejamon8906]

Good job man! Keep going

[@autoreps1]

Just built mine on our covered patio, thanks so much for the video! Came out really awesome. Just waiting on mantle to arrive to attach it!

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Oh that would look so good on a covered patio! So cool!

[@bpierrealix]

Good job ! I’m plan to build one in our living home Fireplace already here 68 inches . 75 inches tv I don’t buy it yet . Can write the material if you don’t mind please Also should I use drywall or ciment board because I’m going to use airstone Thank you !

[@andreachristensen5266]

Great job , we appreciate all the details ; you explained everything including why you were doing things. If I was a new DIY person I would be able to build this today by watching your video. 🌟🌟 and Booo to the people who disliked the video.

[@HunnersDesigns]

Looks amazing! 🥰 we just redid our fireplace and absolutely love it for the winter! 🙌🏼

[@FranksDIY]

Nice job I starting to do mine now a bit different but the same idea and was surfing to see if I can get some other ideas for it.

[@pavelcech9603]

Starting the same project. This was really helpful. Thanks!

[@sajero2]

Thank you! Hope I can replicate something like this!

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Best of luck :)

[@123mjenings]

Sir you did great job well explain ty

[@jeanettereese5613]

Very well done

[@raykwong2212]

Great job man! We are going to start this today

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Awesome. Best of luck :)

[@1drwmngar980]

You did an amazing job! Looks great!

[@pappascw]

How did you decide the fireplace size? I'm doing a 7ft wall as well and I ordered a 50" fireplace. too big? Was your decision budget driven or for aesthetics?

[@guybattaglini9087]

Awesome job !!

[@annerodriguez4470]

I need that. Wonderful

[@wendyroberts8650]

How much did the wall cost you? Curious....it looks great!

[@meawpat610]

Beautiful look easy to do it

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

yeah, it really wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. :)

[@icelinkicelink]

Great video, thanks for sharing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@enriquelagunes8695]

Love it great job man

[@reneochoa5890]

Hello I’m currently on the process of building mine following your step. I just had a question. Did you use the same outlet that you plugged in your fireplace to wire the new outlet for the tv?

[@mikeg5325]

Good job. My wife wants to do ours in ship lap. I was thinking drywall with crown molding at the top. Would be good for an hidden access panel or flush panel to gain access to that hidden outlet. Looking to put ours in our bedroom.

[@ejay1120]

Great job! Looks elegant.

[@jameshaulenbeek5006]

Looks great but when you build the side walls you don’t need to use brad nails and screws.just screws will work 3 inch or bigger will work too

[@audreysoulgirl4889]

Love it excellent job😀

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Thank you! 😊

[@PEREZSS170]

You did a amazing job. Wow looks professional 👏

[@danielprior9969]

Love it man about to start this exact project at my house with cabinets as well thanks for the tips!

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Any time!

[@ThelifeofNoel]

I love this! Awesome job!!

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Thank you :)

[@daleducharme9744]

Very quick question.. there is a little screw with the arrow to take off the glass. If you have the fireplace in place and shiplap installed how do you put that screw on once you put the glass back on? Or do you just eliminate this screw and the glass just sits in place, or do you put the screw back, then install the fireplace and when you slide the glass on does it some how 'hook' on to that screw securing it? If you can let me know that would be great. Thanks

[@lillithjones993]

Little pads behind the attaching screw hole make the insert stick out from the frame far enough for the glass frame attachment hole to be exposed.

[@123mjenings]

Great job you well explain on how due. Ty sir . give point you add back surge pertecter . great jo. Ideal ty

[@Thedoctorjosh]

How much did you consider the electrical aspect of this? A 12.5 amp fireplace on a 15 amp circuit? You also have your TV, other TV accessories, lights and any other electronics you have plugged in to nearby outlets are all likely on the same circuit. Did you consider that on your calculation?

[@Firetracks]

Good job fam!💯💪🏾

[@amandaeasterling1627]

We are doing this right now. Thank you for the video! One place we are stuck is doing the Shiplap around the fireplace. We have the same one but we can figure out how to get the glass cover to go over the Shiplap to hide any imperfections. The Shiplap seems too thick to go between the frame and the back of the cover. Did you run into this problem? Thanks again!

[@alamin-fr8rc]

Thank you. Really helpful.

[@michaelhales5695]

Is tearing out the carpet absolutely necessary for this build? I've been looking to follow your plans to build something similar in my new house. They already laid the carpet and I hate the idea of tearing brand new carpet out for this build.

[@aaronharvey6406]

Nice job.

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@brics6873]

Great job!

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Thanks for watching the video :)

[@EChaves1]

Nice! Thank you!

[@cancerenergy2464]

Beautiful job… Love ur video

[@dmitryivanov705]

It was really cool!

[@ZachLangProductions]

Not sure if I missed this, but roughly how much was all the wood for this? What was your total for this whole project?

[@boyankovic6211]

At the price of lumber today probably about $120,000! But seriously, $10 a stick and he probably used 10 to 15 so not too bad. You could also use steel studs which is easy to use as well.

[@wendykeller370]

Where did you put TV equipment? Trying to figure out where to hide cable box, wifi router, dvd player, etc... I have seen some people create an open box below the TV for these items, I think, they never show all of the equipment in it though. Great video and appreciate any feedback and help.

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Yeah, i have seen other people add little compartments. I have a smart tv I don't have a need for any other tv equipment. It would be sweet to have a compartment space though just for random stuff. Sorry I can't help :/

[@nunayobiznass]

@@HousetoHomeDIY i have a smart TV but is till need my cable box...?

[@jacquelinemcmillan2793]

When doing this with the Billy bookcases at each side which is best to put in place first? The bookcases or fire section?

[@crazylegs98]

Great job. Do you think it would be best to mount your TV and fireplace first then build around it.

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

That could probably work. :)

[@camianlani]

Nice bro! I'm gonna do mine your way, seems way easier.

[@HousetoHomeDIY]

Good luck. I am sure it will look awesome!

[@jegramat]

Great job! I love it

[@matthewcoulter2149]

Love the look. Is there an option to run the fireplace without the heat on?

[@Dan-nr3om]

I'm doing this! Love it nice work
