How To Install Brick Veneer Outside // DIY THIN BRICK

Everything is crooked

Nicely done

What would be the cost of DIY vs getting it done through contractor?

Yes, I'm are of the Rick and Morty true level reference. Season 7 October 15!

I was always wondering how to deal with the non masonry walls, and learned through watching this about the cement board. Will definitely have to watch several more times before attempting this on my house. I live on Massachusetts/New Hampshire border, so getting the moisture barrier and drip edge is crucial to a safe and secure house. And I did get the Rick and Morty reference.

I’ve been a brick mason for 153 years and as an expert I’ll say not bad not bad 👍🏻

It looks beautiful, but there is no air gap or cavity between the bricks and the wall panels to drain the water and dry the moisture. Also, all the moisture inside will blocked just behind the house wrap. Insulation expert opinion needed!

Then the next person that buys the house will paint it white! 😢

Great job, looking to do this for a couple of steps on the side of our porch. Thanks for all the info you provided and great video. I think true level might be the horizon? It becomes obvious when looking at it from a cockpit.

Wubba Lubba Dub-Dub!

Excellent tutorial, thanks!

I'm doing one of these soon on a foundation and my worry starting from top along that trim which already exist on house is I doubt it's level. Wondering if I should start with a joint on top and run my top course true to my own marked line half inch from trim.

what about weep holes? did I miss that part?

As a stone and brick mason for over 15yrs.. i think that you work as good as it gets

Wow! that looks incredible! well done!

What spacers did you use?

I understood the Rick and Morty reference immediately!

I love veneer brick, very sexy

To the cosmic slaughter

Does the protect your house like vinyl siding?

Thanks for posting this. I need to do a small section of brick underneath a basketball goal because I keep tearing up my vinyl siding. I tried to shop for brick but didn't even know most of the terms for the supplies I needed to locate. Now, I know a lot more about it.

amazing job and thanks for the hints that were very helpful

I was born a brick mason and you did ok. I would have filled the zander gaps with planger jigs and then filled but thats just me , an expert.

Looks good….gives the house more value

Perfect flat is an illusion and better to have never tasted it. 😂

Three words. You are Awesome looks amazing, I am from the caribeam always wanted to learn how to do this work

Could you do this to the whole house? Just one big brick house?

Nice wk! I am a tile setter and doing same. I am using your video as a guide. How does the mortar you used adhere to the red guard? I have always used a thinset with polymer for bathroom tile.

I was going to add a pun about your moisture penetrating the exterior but you beat me to it 😂. Proud of you.

My house was built in 1971, where there is a brick veneer, the backer board is this thick asphalt impregnated fiber board 1/2" thick. I don't see it available anywhere so I can't give it a name. Must be old school material and not used anymore.

I have never seen anyone use rock board or redguard on exterior of home. Its definately water protected 3 or 4 times over..a. contractor would have charged 2 arms and a leg to give you that much protection, that's the benefit of DIY, nothing can ever be overkill if your happy. That part of the house will be bone dry 500 years from now. Id love someone like you to do a job for me. One thing for sure, i definately wouldnt want to work for you. And i say that in the most positive way possible..everything has to be perfect

Pickle Rick!

Nice work and easy to follow! QQ - was there a reason you did not need to apply Red Guard to the native concrete foundation (seems you only did it on the wonder board). Meaning if you already have a concrete wall the brick vaneer can be mortared directly to the concrete? Results look amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Really nice work. Bravo.

Nice work. Curious how much it costs all in. I wonder if Faux brick panel siding would have ended up being similar in cost but quicker to install.

Perfection. I love the finish. The brick really enhances the home.

Turned out amazing !!!

Wow!! It’s beautiful,, excellent work.

Very nice work. I watched this a year ago. I'm curious,; how's it holding up after 3 years? And another question. Having looked at the Old Mill Thin brick system, why did you not use their polystyrene backer board? Thanks! Keep up the great content!

🤔I think the hole thing looks great 👍lol very well done

Came here because side my wife said she wants me to wrap our porch posts like this. Had no idea how straight forward it would be - thanks!

Brick veneer is a bit like a fake Rolex

awesome work

Wood Siding is fuuugly!

So your biggest problem with the house is that there are two different sidings so you fixed it with two different sidings

Wouldn't brick veneer siding be alot cheaper and faster?

Wow this looks great! I was considering thus inside my home .

You had me at "moist".
