Install a Gas Fireplace - Framing & Finishing | PT. 2: DIY Living Room Remodel

[@dannegley5575]

I just want to speak to the gentleman in this video. Dude, you have got yourself a keeper. Treat her well.

[@3483maverick]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@Janeinsane_]

K you are a bad a**!!! I'm so impressed!! Thank you for the informational video!!

[@karenbruce4187]

Wow! Not only is this exactly what I was looking for; but you are a total professional at tutorial videos. So comprehensive ~ you didn't leave anything out. Great shots of what you were doing so we could actually see the work happening. And I think it is awesome that you are so calm and with your little ones around while you're working and letting them play and try and get involved. It will serve them so well in their future endeavours. My parents included me in the same way; and now I can make and do anything I want. Great mom! Great DIYer!

[@marticook5096]

You are a boss building a fireplace and being a Mom with those little ones crawling around! You go girl!

[@compliantfiresafety4188]

This women is a diamond...❤

[@markkoons7488]

Fresh content! Wish I'd known all this when I was a young, unlicensed contractor trying to survive in a right-to-work state.

[@shoppingintheusa7030]

this is the first fireplace that I actually love. it's classic and will never go out of style. I hate these new ones. great job!!

[@dndhuggins9500]

Stumbled across your video and I’m completely impressed on your knowledge and skill. Doing a feature wall myself and it’s definitely challenging , looks effortless on your part. Keep up the great work!

[@brianwassmann5904]

Very nice work. Gave me some inspiration. With little ones helping out to boot! I like the tapered framing look. You make it look easy.

[@davidbambrough5962]

well done fantastic work , your little helper deserves a bonus

[@TylynnM_]

Haha right?!

[@TheLumberJacked]

Well done, this was inspiring. Makes me want to do muddying and taping and I’ve never ever experienced that desire before. Thanks for the vid.

[@nikkiredlin17]

I thought I was good, but I have nothing on you! You killed it. Great instructions also. Way to do it all, mom! 💕

[@heathere9519]

Great info on the noncombustible piece. Thank you!

[@sharontobias3155]

Thank you so much for sharing how you did it. It's exactly what I want in my first house. Thank You.

[@mpkane24]

Nice job! My wife wants me to rip out our fireplace trim work and surround and also put a floating mantle on. I’ll be looking for your video on that too. Thanks!

[@TylynnM_]

Coming soon!

[@StanlocoInc]

Bravo! That looks amazing.

[@budgetgeek1008]

You and the baby did a wonderful job ! Getting inspired to start my project soon!

[@leticiaruvalcaba-arballo3181]

Wow, that’s beautiful. You did a great job, I’m impressed.

[@victoriajohnnyrodriguez1369]

Excellent job! The babies were so cute!

[@tamidavis8454]

Great work. You go girl.

[@SteveBoyer10]

Wow an incredible job. It is so beautifully done. I love the taper and I’m so impressed by your skills. I have no idea how to frame that let alone everything else. I love your staging as well so instant sub from me.

[@Phil-cl5dl]

Well done, awesome job.

[@TylynnM_]

Thanks!

[@sheilacabrera3986]

Amazing, great job!

[@MoveInReadyCPM]

Looks fabulous! Great job and thanks for sharing. Love your helpers too.🙂 Hoping to create something similar!

[@jinnwoo6866]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for posting!

[@satowood6600]

Wonderful video. Clear, concise and masterfully executed. Great design sense!

[@seankehil01]

You smart, you saved alot on pricing by doing the frame work yourself. 👍🏾

[@user-pq9vn8om2z]

WOW! You have some skills. I really like this taped fireplace mantel you built. I had watched the video earlier and I thought you commented you have drawings of the fireplace frame you sketched and you would provide to viewers upon request. Did I read that or perhaps it was seeing things. If you do have a sketch you don't mind sharing, I would love to get a copy. Thank you and continue the great work.

[@TylynnM_]

Thanks so much! The dimensions depend totally on what fireplace unit you install, so you’ll want to check out those specs and frame accordingly. But I shared some more details here: tylynnm.com/how-to-install-a-gas-fireplace-framing-finishing-a-gas-fireplace/

[@edelweiss5411]

Cool project, and looks good on completion.

[@joeschiltz4083]

Excellent work! Looks great. I had the exact same feeling about the gas lines and exhaust piping when putting in my gas stove. I thought about DIY for approx 1/2 second but the image of my house turning into a giant mushroom cloud of fire got me to open my wallet. Say "Hi" to your crew for me :-)

[@TylynnM_]

Haha exactly! No need to burn the house down :)

[@ernestoespinoza3211]

Awesome video !

[@anaospina8074]

Great video. I have similar project on a new house that I jus bought. I love the finished project.

[@noonesbusiness3951]

Great work looks good

[@ianspeedy]

excellent wok, I was wondering about the non-combustible area around fireplace, great to see the step by step install

[@heart_towards_home]

Beautiful job! ❤

[@josephnorcalusa1710]

Beautiful job !!!

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Nicely done!

[@TylynnM_]

Thanks!

[@robert4196]

Great job!

[@southswellsd]

Great work !

[@galinakrymskaia8640]

Perfect job!!!

[@TheMarkhamGardens]

Great video!

[@fusgersnabble224]

wow that is a great job

[@nikki30md]

Very beautiful!!

[@hunt4mouse]

Great video! Came in with the drywall and non-combustible requirement question and got my answer! Cant you use cement board for the whole lower section so you can finish it flush?

[@angiebartelme]

Love this! I’m gonna copy this for a vent hood!

[@craiglindaabrams4345]

You go girl!

[@coralebortz4370]

Beautiful!! How did you learn how to do all of that!! Totally amazing what you did!

[@philipterrien7535]

Great work! I have the same fireplace and am doing essentially the same thing you did because it looks so good! Did you also apply Bullseye 123 cement board?

[@manifestcreative]

Looks great! Go Bobcats!

[@DanSwansonArt]

That kid has mad skills...

[@DrBeeSpeaks]

Great job! I love it! ❤️

[@beccab3215]

Wow it’s beautiful, amazing job! What’s the size of the vent pipe? I have a junk space heater and would love to get gas insert like that one. I put in a furnace 2 yrs ago but miss a flaming fireplace.

[@tinamagnuson2]

Dang! Talk about Super Moms!!

[@MatthewNorton-so1eh]

Looks nice. Curious, what was your distance to combustibles in front of the fireplace?

[@tylerthompson6042]

Love the fireplace! How much did it cost to build? I want to add a fireplace and I'm trying to figure out if it cost less to buy one or have one built.

[@jrehr90]

That complete job with gas line and venting would cost approximately 6-9k for a stove shop to install and finish and that is with the unit included.

[@Standard_Issue_Pedestrian]

Looks awesome, you did an amazing job! How did you know when you needed to sister 2x4s and in what pattern you needed to place them? Trying to frame a corner unit and I have no idea where to start. Thanks!

[@caitlin8693]

Looks like its to meet the depth of the board they're being joined to, if that makes sense. 2x4's aren't really 2x4 anymore, they're 1.5x3.5, so that extra 1/2 inch shim between two boards creates the 3.5" thickness to join to the perpendicular board.

[@soltech4150]

Very helpful!

[@timothy7248]

Excellent vid! Plans available for the frame / taper top?

[@bayramakbaba3035]

well done very nice work.

[@ErnestoMunoz2075]

Awesome. 😃😃😃

[@noonesbusiness3951]

I hope you get a ton of SUBSCRIBERS

[@robwiencek9608]

That looks amazing, I love the taper! What angle did you use for the taper? Keep the content coming, you’re a great teacher!!

[@TylynnM_]

Thanks! It's 7° taper on both sides

[@karenbruce4187]

Hello Tylynn, I have watched your video several times now, getting ready to diy my own fireplace. I have two questions about yours that I'm hoping you can help me with. I have looked at a lot of tapered chimney forms; and I really like the proportions of yours. Was there a ratio you used in how to get the top dimensions relative to the base width or did you just eyeball it as you were making it and settled on where you liked it visually? Also, I can't tell from the video; but is it tapered in two directions (side to side as well as front to back) or only tapered side to side? Thanks very much! Karen

[@melodylundquist6499]

Loved this! We are just starting a fireplace project. We were going to tile it but want to do this now. What color did you use on the Portola clay?

[@geegurl25]

She wrote in the description that the clay color is “Brooks”.

[@juanitaandrews9764]

Very nice! I see the outlet there. Do you intend to hang a tv? If so, where would you secure the brackets? I’m interested in doing something very similar with my fireplace so I appreciate the detailed video :)

[@bert1913]

Those are nice 😜😜

[@Pneumatologist]

Very impressed with this DIY project! I'm planning on the same Portola finish with a cement board frame around the fireplace. What did you use on the edges/corners? Did you need a corner tool to get around the cement board frame (the outside, not the rounded inside where you said you did it by hand).

[@jayell8253]

Very impressive. I can honestly say that I feel emasculated here as someone still learning about the hearth business.😂 But Awesome vid. Thank you.

[@TylynnM_]

Hahah I'm glad it was helpful 😂

[@thesoulmates2375]

Did you not have to do anything with code or inspection before putting in a vented gas unit??

[@futbol1972]

I have a square gas fireplace with tiles around it. two beautifuo windows with shutters on each side and 3 avobe fireplace. Can I reshape fireplace to a rectangular shape and make it longer so I can place my 75 inch tv avobe ? right now it looks akward because tv is too big for fireplace. Maybe if I make fireplace rectangular and longer than tv it will look better?

[@caitlin8693]

Looks great! How much of the Portola clay did you need to use to cover this area?

[@jdoconnor8883]

I'm about to install a fireplace myself. How wide did you get your furnace and what type of venting do you recommend. Thanks!

[@keepmoneygrowing7375]

I have a pvc pipe sticking out of my fireplace and doesn’t appear to have any function. Do you have any idea what this could be?

[@hinjon]

Ballpark on install price? I'm near buffalo and want to do something similar, trying to guage the project cost.

[@dmw1280]

I never thought of a Gas fireplace I suppose less maintenance then wood or pellets.

[@joechoate1511]

You could have used bullnose corner bead for a more rounded look

[@lindstrand05]

How long did it take to fully complete?

[@TylynnM_]

It really depends how much time you have to work on it. But if you work every day a few hours, I think you could do it in a couple weeks. One day of framing, contractors install the unit in one day, day of drywall/cement board, few days of drywall finishing, then the Roman clay finish, and the mantel is a couple days to build and stain. Really just depends though 🤷‍♀️

[@patriciau6277]

Why did you change the framing?

[@chahalsatinder1981]

how much is depth after installation?

[@curtleda8730]

Don’t you have to use cement boards?

[@TylynnM_]

I used cement board where the fireplace specs required - about 3" around the fireplace unit. The specs for your particular unit will tell you where to install the proper materials.

[@evantspurrell]

Clever girl

[@frederickchacon7208]

Nice job, why can't my wife do this? I wish you had shown more detail on the electrical. I noticed an outlet against the interior wall. Did you disconnect that outlet? How did they get power to the fireplace? You know you can't bury an electrical box, so I hope you didn't do that. I am guessing you hired in an electrician? Otherwise, well done. I am planning to install a gas fireplace in my bedroom. You should be on HGTV!

[@bebesuz]

What were the dimensions of your frame?

[@EdwardHeavrin]

Nice job with the fireplace and damaging your kids hearing!
