Building A Fireplace Feature Wall In A Screen Porch

What happens here

The team discusses the installation strategy for the vertical wood slats. They decide to build out the entire wall by an inch and a half to provide a solid backing. The slats will be spaced vertically, with gaps between them to create texture. The first slat will be installed in the center of the wall. The slats will be 1.5 inches deep, and the end pieces (flush with the stone veneer) will be 3 inches deep.

Goal: Determine the dimensions and layout of the vertical slats.

Tools and materials

  • Pencil — Marking measurements on the wall and wood
  • Tape Measure — Measuring the wall for slat placement and length

Hide

together all right so we yeah what the six by and six by 2 by sixes 2 by sixes yes that's going to be black that's going to be black yep shouldn't we like rip everything and paint everything now that doesn't that's not no I want to paint it on the wall cuz I want to get all the 2x sixes are going to be tight together that's just basically our we're building out the whole wall inch and a half essentially so that we have a solid material and you don't want to stay in them before we put them up no because I want there might be like little cracks in between that you can see it's going to be up like get in there um no because the cracks all the seams are going to be covered by the the rips but I want to get it up on the wall and then sand it and I'd rather just so I want I I probably do want to stain the the the rips on top before we install them but again you know when you stain it and then you're putting it up it gets kind of scuffed up and then like you kind of have to put another coat on it sometimes and then I'll make it even darker I might just want to hit it one time one time everything I don't know definitely want to get 2x6 up first and okay perfect perfect on the heart board do the Adorn Stone then the wood top of it to we can't we need we need to be able to pull this out cuz this needs to be hooked up before we put the Ador them we need to do the wood first but should the wood cover the flange of the top Adorn uh no we're going to have to glue the top layer but wouldn't we not have to if we just needs to be removable we need to be what do we got to do to hook it up we got to hook up the gas it out out it's a real head scratcher I'm trying to think I'm trying to think okay so essentially we're going to start with one splitting right in the middle that'll be the center of it so that'll be our first edge of our first one but we're going to need to box out around this and then we need to box out around this so 10 pieces of 2x6 cut at uh 10 in 10 at [Applause]
