[@rexmonarch2]

Cool. Looks like when I lived in Laguna Niguel, CA doing landscape construction. When I was doing masonry I used to mix thin-set with the mortar because it's a sure thing bond on the cinder block. Too often just using mortar ends up not bonding into the pores of the stone and breaks loose over time.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I concur TY

[@rexmonarch2]

@@OdellCompleteConcrete I'm back in Colorado and I always mix in the thin-set with mortar because of the winter freeze-thaw cycles we get here. I don't use thin-set for the joints because it doesn't look aesthetically appealing. Anyway, when I was out there in SoCal it was big-time masonry construction. I even did tiling on driveways. It's not such big deal here in Colorado unless it's a high-end house.

[@speedntktzlastname2182]

Your videos are amazing. Been watching them for a few years and learned a lot. You pack so much great information into them without any of the fluff and hype of other content makers. I am curious about the cost per linear foot this type of wall without the stucco on the back surface and about the same 2-3 foot tall. I know the veneer can vary but just for an average pattern from Belgard or Eldorado? I'm in far northern LA county.

Thank you so much David: at 7:58 the architectural control joints in the driveway and the veneer wall really pop! If they have you do the front of the house with veneer it will look like a brand new home! Do you suggest moist cure, blanket, or curing compound in SoCal this time of year or not necessary?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes I think the front of the house, and maybe vertical on the corners will tie it in. The weather is good right now for curing.

yes, pressure wash to remove bad paint, and use glue to adhere

[@michaeldelaney2989]

Good stuff as usual David 🙂 I am a mason in Wildwood NJ and Philadelphia Pa, I have only one question for you bud why don't you guys ever use concrete rakes or what we call come a longs???? When putting down your driveways, garage floors???? Not knocking your way at all with rubber gloves and a shovel but than again we pour 100 yds at a time some days and use Georgia buggy's. You guys pump everything so I get it.... Hey buddy you are the best on the internet and your son Tim is right behind you!!!! God bless!!!!! From one Irishman to another!!!!!!!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

The come along doesn't work well with pea gravel mix. I do use it on the big rock. TY

[@Dabear88]

Safety note here... when cutting stone you should be wearing eye protection, ear protection and a respirator if you don't have a wet cutting tool. This guy is an old salt and set in his ways, but you should always use proper safety gear when cutting masonry. I should note, I think Odell is a righteous dude and spreads much knowledge... I really do appreciate him sharing his knowledge. I've learned a lot from him.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

That's true I recommend wearing the safety gear.

[@immers12345]

Great job !! What is the exact ratio/ contents of the adhesive you used to bond the stone veneer to block wall? Does wall have to be prepped prior to application? Striated trowel not needed??? Many thanks.....

Old walls should pressure washed first. The ratio I use is one bag spec to one bag thinset

Great video! Is it best practice to always start at the bottom and work your way up? I have a concrete retaining wall that varies from 16" down to 11" and wondering where all the cut stone should go - top row or bottom? This is thin stone veneer I will be using with grout lines. I was thinking I wanted all the cut stone on the bottom row. Any recommendations? Thx!

[@larrykeenan598]

Layout some stone on the floor to get a pattern and vertical measurement that's close to the 11". install a level board down from the top the same as the vertical measurement. Lay stone on the board up to the top. Remove the board and fill in the bottom with the cut pieces.

[@biffmcgraw5507]

If it is a low wall with an overhang or cap, cuts will be less seen on the top

I've seen people at the top or mid way with a temporary ledger

@@larrykeenan598 Thanks Larry!

[@kevinkleinmann]

@@biffmcgraw5507 The stone is about 1" - 2" thick and the overhang will only be about 1.5" - 2". Do you think with that amount of overhang you would not notice it as much on the top? It does not seem like that much overhang to me to cover it up.

I haven't used adhesive for that, but it would probably work
