5 STAR Work Sal Well Done

[@jimserhant7741]

Beveling stacked ledger stone is definitely not for the faint of heart. Excellent work. Thank you for sharing. On a side note, definitely not a fan of those Kerf textured stones, personal preference I guess.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Thanks for watching my video.

[@relativenormality]

You can bet the client never would have attempted this if they hadn't experienced Sal's prior work.

[@bigdaddy7670]

Excellent work, well done !!

[@SalDiBlasi]

Many thanks!

[@tilerman]

Lovely work Sal. I recently tiled an intricate bathroom with 800mm x800mm tiles. Sloping ceilings, 2 windows, 2 niches and an alcove. 5 whole tiles, 58 cuts! I feel your pain.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Thanks for watching my video.

[@zelalemdemelash3343]

How long did it took you to finish???? Lots of cuts, Please I want to know so bad. How long it tooks you for installing the stone and marble tile? It looks amazing. THANK YOU

[@mrDmastr19]

Nice work. I’ve been thinking of trying some stone on the fireplace. Not that big of an area a bit more simple. What’s the best thinset for stone if I buy at Home Depot ? Versa Bond?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Not sure about Custom products, I don't use them, but I would look for a thinset that meets ANSI A118.11 or better.

[@sterlinglalla1744]

This looks amazing. I'm planning a DIY and this video has been very helpful! I really like the stack stone used, can you tell me what brand/what it's called?

[@SalDiBlasi]

That was the last of it, it was discontinued.

[@mauricetanco7696]

I bought similar from home depot it's Alaskan grey made by msi.

[@CP-ux9zd]

MSI is a thin product @@mauricetanco7696

[@bikramsingh2014]

Lot of good work. In the Corners I see you can never be perfect as you mentioned, but if there are any fine gaps, do you think it's a good idea to fill them slightly in with some caulk of matching color?

[@CP-ux9zd]

No caulk used on the ledgerstone.. trying to keep the look.. not screw it up

[@jbitile8241]

Sal if I'm building a steam shower doe the ceiling have to have a tilt on it. Can not be flat level I'm I correct.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Supposed to have a slope of 2" per foot, however some people just don't want that slope, so they will live with cold water drips.

[@CP-ux9zd]

Big takeaway is that you’re cutting all this ledgerstone dry. No water used in cutting. Does it have anything to do with the saw you’re using? Thanks… Awesome work and videos

[@CP-ux9zd]

Nope, my bad, I watched again. All cuts are wet saw…

[@user-lu4qs9ex9u]

Hi, sorry for my bad english...your videos is really helpful, i like it. So i have some question about material of fireplace walls(base) - its drywall or plywood or something else(i mean this panels fixed with self-tapping screws) and what is it covered with? Is it fiberglass mesh up there?

[@SalDiBlasi]

cement board

[@user-lu4qs9ex9u]

@@SalDiBlasi Thank you!

[@user-lu4qs9ex9u]

Can I use drywall, will lt bear the weight of stacked stone?
