Applying Moisture Barrier and Metal Lath

two units off to the side [Applause] [Music] all right so we've got the face all figured out here on that's either gonna have 12 inches over on this set I'm gonna do this entire space it's gonna be concrete countertops possibly I think and I'm just gonna give about 2 inches on each side it's it's a big enough of a pellet grill that the next owner if you guys even a little bit smaller one it'll still fit so at this point we're gonna build up the boxes and start go from there [Music] so I made a mistake well it's a design thing it didn't think completely through I was gonna put concrete here and I still will but I don't really see the need of just putting in a 2x4 down here just to elevate it just a little bit in fact it's gonna be a problem putting OSB here so I'm gonna hack this off right there remove the screws and I'll just put the concrete right on the OSB and that'll be fine which is we just go we just go as we build now we're gonna wrap it with the Builder felt now the Builder felt acts as a moisture barrier it acts as a secondary but not in this application and the primary is usually the house of rapidly do moisture barriers but we don't want to put that here because the heat underneath it might cause it to shrink heat up and potentially start a fire so that's a big no-no instead we could just use builder felt wrapped around staple like we're basically building a house at this point we're gonna figure out how to make this fire retardant we're gonna put concrete on top in there so that's going to take care of that now the next part is again for the stone this is the metal galvanized last I believe they call it and it has a honeycomb shape and the honeycomb shape you want it to point out and upwards and the reason why is because what you put the mortar on you want it to slide down and grip on it and that slide off of it so we're gonna nail it using roofing nails these are inch-and-a-half roofing nails and the trick to make sure everything is nice and strong is to put a nail every six inches vertically and every 12 inches to 15 inches horizontally that way this sucker stays on there and keeps all of our stone in place the most frustrating part of this project is you have to both think about waterproofing make sure this thing there's a rot weather and fire proof so it doesn't just catch on fire and burn my house down not stressful at all [Music] all right so we got our medal laugh on
