This Stone Wall Deserved a Nice Granite Cap

[@tomalley798]

Definitely the best project to watch. And definitely the best masonry impersonator around 😆

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thanks man! 🤣 ✌

[@ecl1pz]

Absolutely amazing work and that was great advice for anyone wanting to get into the trade!

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you, I try to offer advice to anyone who is interested ✌

[@josephrottina1901]

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you very much ✌🏻

[@kennethgrossman289]

I love that wall! And I love the videos!

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Nice, glad to hear it! Thank you ✌🏻

[@keithscabin]

Beauty work guys!!

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you! ✌

[@vikings2871]

Really nice work. Shoulda sold them on doing the stone on that block wall foundation that you repaired

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you, They actually are having it done by the guy who did their chimney.

[@larrygwinn6649]

Project looking awesome, keep up the great work. Happy Thanksgiving

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

[@IndianaHardscaping]

Awesome work! Also I completely agree with what you mentioned about others looking down upon those that perform physical labor, the weird irony is that in time I think we will see a shift in this perspective as the trades continue to die out and these workers become more valuable.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you! And I agree, hopefully we see more people getting into the trades soon. 🤙🏻

[@Jv9569]

Only spineless malcontents think like that about tradesmen. If a famine was to hit or if the grid crashed; who do they think would have the highest chance of survival? It's comical.

[@orlandosalazarb6woc]

It really looks great....is great to see someone who is enjoying his trade and you really can see it in the results of all those projects you guys finished. It is sad to see that younger generations not interested in any trades any more....like you sad it in this video, this country was built by all different types of trades

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you very much, I certainly do love this work. Can't picture myself doing anything different... Hopefully things will turn around and more kids will start getting interested in hard work. It needs to be a cultural change though, people need to stop frowning upon their children doing manual labor. The trades are the most crucial part of any Country in my opinion. ✌

[@Walshslandscaping]

NIce work

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you ✌

[@DC8FD]

Beautiful wall and cap!!!

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thanks! ✌

[@vergaragrp]

impressive, if you were in the Miami Bch, FL area id definitely call you for a travertine deck I want done this year...keep up the good work and informative videos

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you, we just did a travertine patio recently. Beautiful stone…👌🏻

[@markrodewald1424]

That is killer! Well done. And your comments on the trades are spot on. I appreciate your channel and the work you do.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thanks, glad you enjoy the videos! Trade work is very important, things would be different if more people agreed...LOL ✌

[@rudymedina5450]

Excellent wall!! 5 🌟 job. You and Benny are artist.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you very much! ✌🏻

[@ThatPainterGuyKy]

So happy to get to see this project again! Amazingly beautiful and some amazing tradesmen! From a fellow tradesman doing physical labor, God bless brother! Glad to see another video.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

It was nice to have time to edit it, got to relive how fun it was to build it! God bless you too, is tradesmen are important ✌🏻

[@ChickenFarmerMA]

Project is really coming together and you gave us a lil sneak peak of those cobbles at the end! Pat yourself on the back, you're into 2024 videos in 2024!

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Yes sir, it was such a fun wall to build! And honestly, I was thinking the same thing about uploading a video from the current year…🤣 hopefully I can keep the momentum going! ✌🏻

[@KGSHEAMASONRY]

The granite cap looks awesome on an already awesome looking wall Love the beefiness of it

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thanks brother! Very beefy for sure… perfect thickness 👌🏻

[@jacobbuckley8232]

I never thought we were gonna get to see the finished wall. Turned out awesome!

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

🤣 this videos has been simmering on the back burner for awhile… lol pumped I finally got it done! ✌🏻

[@rossnolan2883]

😊😊😊😊

[@Mangold2865]

First like, first comment! great work as always boys

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

😂 nice! Thank you ✌🏻

[@nicolerehm2823]

Looks amazing!

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you!✌🏻

[@Treehandler]

Damn shame you aren’t able to post more frequently. Your work is top notch considering the size of the company. Not too many guys around here anymore that can do real stone work.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

I appreciate that big time! We just love the work we do and focus on quality over quantity at all times. ✌

[@brianhanley12]

Looks great man! Those caps are amazing and definitely makes the wall pop. Phew that granite’s a bear bud! Great work guys

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thanks brother! Definitely heavy and tough to move but the end result was worth it for sure 👌🏻

[@BlueDiamondHardscapes]

I’d be very proud of that wall. I was just doing stone veneer with the same stone. Brutal in the labor , but hot damn when it’s done it’s beautiful

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

I sure am, very difficult project but man was it rewarding to see it done… nothing like natural stone when done right 👌🏻

[@mikeymopar1171]

I was just wondering why you did not use your machine to set those caps on top of the wall they have to be pretty heavy I seen you use a tool before to set steps before you couldn't use that anyhow nice-looking wall for sure you guys are for sure true Craftsman

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

They were pretty heavy but still pretty manageable by hand. The machines and clamps can be overkill sometimes… the hard way sometimes is the quickest way, lol 🤙🏻

[@LegSpinna]

Looks a beauty. If you were in my part of the world, you 'masonry impersonators' would get my custom.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

😂 thank you, we are great actors.. lol ✌🏻

[@MrSeebsy]

Awesome wall. Question. I have been sticking Natural stone veneer (ledge) to my block wall using MVIS veneer mortar. Now the temp is bellow 40F.... should I weight for Spring to finish? or should I add an anti freeze to mix? MVIS just says don't install under 40 deg.

[@Treehandler]

I would wait until Spring when temps aren’t dipping below freezing. No guarantees that the mortar will properly set if the water in it has frozen and the expansion will cause some really unreliable bonds. Flatwork we can continue doing until the snow in the northeast because we can lay 6mil plastic and keep the ground from freezing, but anything vertical is going to be difficult to keep from freezing.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

I would agree with that completely if it is a wall over 3-4 feet because of the risk it won't set right.... But if it is a small retaining wall and you want to keep making progress, adding concrete anti freeze and covering the area you worked on at night with some thermal tarps or just multiple layers of tarps would be fine. Just uncover whenever the sun is out and it is above freezing to help it cure as quick as possible. ✌

[@mkat740]

Maybe stucco those repaired cinder blocks.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

I think that’s a great idea, not sure what they will decide though…
