[@merari1098]

I love your content, it's so well presented to people like me who is having her own home currently built. I decided to add stone to my home too and this video showed how it's done. Thanks!!! Keep up the good work 🙌🙌

[@sukeshajadhav3574]

Wow I must say you have a great choice..☺👍👍(you won't believe but I had imagined it would look nice if you use greyish white tone stones) Stones look really nice.. Front door and the gable looks more amazing now.. Waiting for your house get painted.. Happy for you..😊 God bless you niko 🙌 Have a wonderful day ahed 🌼🌼🌼 ✌

[@mehmet284]

[@NikosPropertyShow]

Thank you!!

[@Death...]

This popped up on my TL and I was like yooo new episode and was immediately disappointed when I realized I watched this already. 😭 You awesome Niko can't wait for the next episode

[@dianeperrine9243]

Great job--it's just a personal choice but I would have chosen a tan/alabaster color stone but to each their own. However, my friend painted her faux stone & it looks great too.

[@jorgegarduno9983]

Wow! Just amazing man! Coming from TikTok was looking forward to this video for sure

[@NikosPropertyShow]

Thanks Jorge!!

[@AwesomePossum478]

I cant wait till its done!

[@NikosPropertyShow]

[@joanizaccaro3839]

Wish you would have mentioned the color stone. Its so pretty.

[@JC-yu7oh]

Look amazing as always 🤩

[@NikosPropertyShow]

Thanks!!

[@RVGChiller]

Looks amazing 👌👌

[@nstar0203]

Absolutely gorgeous! 😍 I loved the color and shape of the stone. What is the brand and model? I know you slightly mentioned it in the video but absolutely loved this stone and I have been searching everyone for something similar.

[@Gzcutsgrass]

That looks amazing

[@derricksaunders5280]

Great Job !

[@jamig.7254]

Is your foundation on hardscrabble?

[@StandbyNews]

Your home looks amazing

[@Simonofcalifornia]

Awesome project and learned a lot.

[@1800grantallen]

you mentioned the cost of the material...how much does it cost in labor for this type of stone? do they charge by the SF? the box? the day?

[@darylchristopher]

great video niko

[@StandbyNews]

Love the color

[@MikeyM1422]

I’m looking to do this on my own. I always thought you needed chicken-wire before installing stone on foundation? Love the video.. So, what did they put over the cement blocks before installing the stones? Was it just mortar?

[@mixedshorts2066]

hey 👋 when the house will be finished?

[@tonycash8544]

The wall should have been moistened before applying the material. It's very likely it will pop off within a few freeze thaw cycles the way they did it.

[@KefirTView]

I was going to type that too. He's going to have flash drying all over that stonework. Basically cold joints all around. I give it 2 years tops. Unskilled labor is expensive.

[@artes7998]

I think ned to power wash tha dirt to

[@notshylo]

My mom not far south of Niko literally gorilla glued stone to the flat concrete on the back of her house and it’s all still there 10+ years later lol. He’ll prob be fine.

[@ohsweetmystery]

It looks moistened to me. The blotchy color makes it appear that they did moisten the concrete first.

[@JoseSanchez-tx3fq]

U should have done did the back in stone 2.

[@eddieleon39]

Hey boss nice job..what type of mortar are they using

[@NikosPropertyShow]

That is white ivory type N for the jointing!! The stick on is just regular type S mortar.

[@savannahrei8674]

I need to do this on my house also. You mentioned $5k in stone. Do you have a total installed cost per sq ft including labor so I can figure for my house project?

[@Toasty_1992]

I don’t think anyone will share that information here. Get on Facebook and join (The Contractor Fight) there’s a lot of good and professional people that will help answer your question. Price will vary where you live so make sure to add that into your question. Good luck.

[@jimbooz4231]

Whats the name of the stone again?

[@conkey4]

These are installers.....not stone masons. Worst thing to happen to masonry. So many potato's (stones that are taller then they are wide) and those columns don't look plumb at all. Good luck on your build though

[@imsirmill]

Hey niko when do you post? Like days and time

[@NikosPropertyShow]

Typically every Sunday at 10 a.m. ET and Thursday at 2 p.m. ET … I try to stick to that!!

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

The house is come along ing pretty good I'd say, you don't see alot of real stones anymore

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

When are you pouring more concrete? Jw I enjoy all of them, but really enjoyed that 1

[@snipex111]

why would you put zip tape on bottom of windows?

[@NikosPropertyShow]

I followed the Andersen manufacturer instructions!! Check it here!! techpub1.andersenwindows.com//api/publications/File?answerIds=12,87,152,65,9,213,19,51,64,141,137,40,103,138

[@bruinsfanvermont4969]

And everything like that

[@tomrobbins6045]

There’s two things, I don’t understand why you didn’t do the back foundation to match the rest of the house and second you should have did the stone on the front of the house at the front porch all the way to the roof of the porch and it would make your front doors really stand out and pop, just like you did in the front around that window!!

[@martinkmet4994]

Long live Mexico.

[@NikosPropertyShow]

Viva Mexico 🇲🇽

[@mathewhawkins5401]

Cool video, but as a bricklayer you would of driven me mad filming me every day, the guys did a great job though.

[@nlgphoenixyt7368]

Who else has been here since the beginning

[@NikosPropertyShow]

Thank you for the support!!

[@Toasty_1992]

Why didn’t the masons do a scratch coat? It was bare smooth?

[@nathancarroll1025]

I prefer without the white

[@wademckinnon2429]

Great skill but that stuff is so ugly. Off white stucco is better or better yet a 10 x 24 limestone.

[@shanereynolds1477]

That is absolutely not the correct way to lay stone im a fourth generation Mason an they have stone stacked an straight joints everywhere an Im by no way being racist but guys like that are ruining our trade

[@patrickmcmahon1443]

yup-a little more effort and better layout staggering joints and this is a not so bad. Laying stones from the middle/top down seems like it is a fake stone? Not old school masonry. Laying stones for 25 years and this is not how Stone Masons lay stone. No Chiseling, fitting, or facing stone.

[@pedrohippocaus8488]

Hey,I could use some advice.I’m going to be building a house and have a lot of old hand cut limestone and other foundation rock.I’ve got a wild hair and want to cut my own natural stone veneer.I’m going to cut it 1 1/2-2” thick . Will that be too much weight to install like this or would it need a ledge and go up from there.It’s going to take a while to cut it but it beats 5g and should look killer. It will be anywhere from 4-8” tall and 10-36”long.Any recommendation on a wet concrete saw? Been looking at the evolution 12”wet saw,it’s electric and looks like it cuts stone pretty good from the videos I’ve watched but not sure it would be up for that big of job.Appreciate any advice..

[@jim_secrist]

first

[@NikosPropertyShow]

👋🏼

[@davidbruce5377]

Vote Democrat if you want stone masons, to keep pumping it out here. Florida has hundreds of delayed projects.

[@julianavalos179]

Hate when people have a camera in my face and I’m just tryna work

[@TRONICSfer]

"When you do it, you gotta do it right" and "You pay for it, it hurts only once", and you go and save 5k on 350k house by not putting the stones in the back. So much about the advices...

[@NikosPropertyShow]

I’ve been in my backyard about 5 times in 12 months. Didn’t even notice there was no stone lol

[@chrishall6367]

I cringed when you walked under the ladder

[@NikosPropertyShow]

Why?

[@danielsea6479]

Cheap n greedy. Not Square these are not masons.
