Prepare Fireplace for New Construction

mistake [Music] all right I feel like I keep running into one speed bump after another so like I mentioned earlier the stone issue here so the way he had it done is the the fireplace brick is laid in place it's a gas fireplace keep that in mind not that much and he had like a veneer going over where these bricks stopped so they actually recessed in here and then a little bit more on the outside it was it's done so poorly so I thought no problem I could find this brick went down to Lowe's they don't have it went down to Home Depot they don't have it then I went to my local masonry place that I buy all my Stone from I'm like no problem they're going to have it wrong they don't have it they have a similar size but they don't have the etching and not to mention it's a different kind of red so regardless he going to stand out I'm thinking about what to do here and um I just I don't know this is one of those things where you're going to see it from here it has to be fire safe and I'm just kind of stuck between a rock and a heart place after much brainstorming I think we put the nogin to work and we figured out a solution so I got my S Type I got my n type mortar built up here and then I will be able to add my drywall here continue my cement board and then the stone that I got has Corners so it will fill in any of this exposed section there um every problem has a solution there's an argument whether or not this is the perfect solution but like they say in evolution it's not a perfect solution it's a workable solution so uh that's where we're at right now cabinets check shelves check strong hear check cement board check here's the thing I really want to put a mantle up
