Hi, I'm Tim Carter from AskTheBuilder.com and have you ever wondered how stones like this get
0:10
affixed to the wall? In other words, how did that stone mason get those to stick? I'll tell you one
0:16
thing they did not do. They didn't put litwood nail, you know, that stuff in the tube. What
0:21
really happened is the mason mixed up some sand and Portland cement and kind of just stuck them
0:28
to the wall. But if he was really good, he'd put in some hydrated lime. Now, this stone wall is inside
0:34
the house, and it's not subject to much weather. But you know what? Many, many a place has a stone
0:41
wall that's on the outside where you want to stick it to a masonry wall, or maybe you want to affix
0:45
stone to a wood frame house that has a stucco finish. Well, you know what? If you're going to do that
0:51
and you want it to stand the test of time, you've got to mix up a really special mixture of Portland
0:58
cement sand and lime And there another special trick If you want to know more about that if you want to know the exact way to do it feel free to click that link below in the description But just understand that if you want to put stone on a wall all you got to do is mix up Portland cement some sand and water I Tim Carter for AskTheBuilder
