How to install mortar parge veneer over wire mesh on exterior block foundation finishing

Thank you so much. And for answering everyone’s questions. You are SO HELPFUL!!
Bless you!

Definitely need to see what you did to get to that point.

spray foam the inside with architectural closed cell foam. boom it would be insulated very well

Dam! Great training video.

Any kind of concrete specific

Perfect, I have a cottage with a 2' crawlspace, I enclosed it with plywood and a tyvek air barrier, this will give it that basement look I wanted, great idea using felt paper first to shed water.

Would chicken wire & mixed concrete(or what you used) be another option for a circle retaining wall around a fire pit?

Parge the lath

This works better then quick drying concrete using bonding agents.

Great video, but I need the nail pattern and size of nails and or do u nail in the field

Thanks for sharing and I appreciate your reply given us the type of mortar mix.

Very good explanation. I just wish you showed how you applied the mesh. 👍👍👍

hand me my patching trowel

Very good instructional video.

Do you have to use mesh? I seen a couple videos where they're just doing a stucco finish on cinder block and didn't use mesh... I was trying to figure out if I should try it out

Nicely done my man East Coast Rules ! I almost hired a guy, till I saw this. I had the wrong mesh at 1st and knew nothing of the black felt.

Thank you

Good vid... but really you didn't show shhit 🤷🏽. No before and after? And where is the veneer? Show the stones atleast. Give us a real tip where we can learn from. Take care🔥💪🏽

Excellent tutorial Sir, I'm going to go and do exactly what you did in this video. Thank you again.

I have one mason that will do it this way.(amish man) Then, I have another mason that wants to remove the paint since our foundation was previously painted, and proceed with stone.
Both Mason's say their way is the right way to do it, AND.... if it was my house this is how I would do it. Both ways are different though? Got any comments for me?

I have a customer that has parging on a insulated foundation. Its cracked and crumbling, some spots you can see the foam insulation. She wants this redone. Could I just appl felt paper right over the old stuff and then put the wire mess on top?

Thanks for the video

thanks

I can't get premixed stone veneer mortar mix in my local stores - do you have a good recipe for creating an equivalent - I have read so many variations that I don't know who to trust.

Thx bud for the video.👍👍

Nice job the work and explaining. I like seeing this. Thank you!

Great video! Very helpful. What mortar mix would you recommend for this? I’m going to Ramset the mesh against an existing concrete foundation then use the mortar over that as you have shown.

WOW THAT INFORMATION ABOUT THE MORTAR FALLING OUT WAS WORTH WATCHING THIS VIDEO...30 YEARS IN CONSTRUCTION AND I DID NOT KNOW THAT!!!!! THANKS!!!

I'm going to be doing a parging job soon and I was just wondering if you need something to back up the wire or will it stick without it

Thanks

Thank you for the training

Sucks

Do I detect a newfie accent?

That mesh secret is key. Thanks for sharing

Awesome !! Working on a job like that now , but indoor fireplace . Never knew that about the mesh !! Very good , nice explaining detail for specifics

Thanks so much for this video! What kind of backer board should i use? Also, is it only connected to the ground or screwed to the house? Do you worry about ground expansion in winter? Sorry just can't find these answers anywhere

What’s the best way to attach the mesh directly to brick?

What i want to do is place this wire mesh on dirt and cover it. Keeping ground hogs from digging holes around the house also in the yard. Then place pavements. Is this a good idea?

When do you need to use wire mesh opposed to just mortar? For instance I’m wanting to put a stone veneer on the exterior base of my home, it’s raw exposed cinder block. Do I need to use wire mesh?

When you say wooden ply. You mean frame it with 2x4s then add plywood to the framing then black felt?

Use a hawk. Don't work out of a mud box on the ground. Work smarter not harder.

If i'm doing this over an existing brick wall that's crumbling in areas, would you place the wire mesh directly against the brick so it can adhere in the cracks/crevices or would you still use the fabric behind it?

Always nice to see a fellow masons techniques, keep up the great work!

How do you mix the stucco

Is there anything different I have to do if I want to do this over an extruded foam foundation?

Good information

Good video I'm going to do the exact same skirting to my house I got last year, do you use the same morter as you would for brick laying?

Just what I was searching for! Wish I could buy you a burger! Thank you!

The Bob Ross of construction I love it

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
