@kefwals8722 Жыл бұрын
@@nuttysquirrel8816 it's not going to be significantly stronger than an LP smartsiding or 3/4" wood sided wall. If at all. The mortar joints would be a weak point on the brick wall and that wonder board is really quite weak as far as puncture resistance. You might gain a little bit of r value with the brick wall.

As a 15-year brick pro that could not have been done better. Brick does absorb water but in your installation, it was perfectly dealt with. You could have spent the extra money to buy the trays thin brick sit in to keep them straight but it looked like you did well. Perfect and maybe a little overkill on the water management but I don't think you can overkill water issues. That was the perfect choice in the jointers. Fantastic job from a guy that knows. Well done.

Brick tape story accordingly, snap every other story mark. (Every other course) lay to snapped lines. Then fill remaining courses with eyeball for level between already level courses. 4 .Hubbard jointer! Made of magnesium to pull moisture out (like flatwork) for smooth finish. 5.

Some of that was overkill, however I'm all about overkill. Every project on my house I make sure If it can have extra protection without causing a problem then it gets it. My yard gets flooded and it floods my crawlspace. The previous owners solutions was just a tiny sump pump in the crawlspace. It barely keeps the water from touching the floor joist. I installed gutters, french drains foundation drains, and resurfaced the yard to shed water. All of my drains are now tied to the city storm drains system and the last thing I need to do is replace the damaged siding that's why I'm here. You did a great job and very informative thank you.

Well done. This veneer is a good looking product. I removed a glue on product from my cousin’s house. It was maybe 3/8” thick and had all kinds of water penetration. We removed the sheathing from the outside of the home, replaced the old dust filled and damp pink insulation with Roxul and sealed it up from the outside. Then, due to his budget, installed a vertical vinyl siding. It was period correct to the home and from the street looks like proper board & batten. Your place benefitted from a HUGE transformation in appearance and style! The brick is period correct to the home and takes it fully upscale from the old cedar siding. I don’t doubt that this was not much more than the cost to replace the old weather worn cedar with new cedar either! It really looks like a great transition where the stone retaining hill meets the home. I started watching this as a skeptic (sorry), but once I saw the installation method, I knew this was a far superior product to that which I had dealt with previously. Nice results, in both changing my mind, and in the transformation you achieved with your home.

We did a great natural stone wall around and above the fireplace to the ceiling, at my buddies parents house while they were on vacation. It paid off in spades just to see their faces when I hey saw it. They've always wanted to have it done but contractors were too much $$$. We saved thousands by free material, other than pegs and mortar and doing it ourselves. We've been stocking up on stone for a long time so we had it when we were ready. Free is my favorite 4 letter "F word"...!!!
