I visited the website regarding your basement remodels and the pictures/videos you posted shocasing your work. I particularly like the photo of the arch and bar next to the description "Key Features of "Stone Arch" Basement:" . I would like to have a similar arch and bar installed, but with the bar encased by the arch, instead of in the rear of the room. Is there a ball park figure for this type of project given standard building methods, and expected labor costs for a typical install?

Pricing will vary based on design {bar structure and shape (2x6x?), plumbing (sink, drain, supply, pump, vent,), electric (lights,receptacles, pump, frig), bar wall finishing (stained, painted, stone,...), bar top and rail (granite, wood, ), backsplash, cabinets/shelves, stone back wall (requires structure, diamond mesh/mortar, stone $3-5k) } Total project can be as low as $5-10k and easily up to and over $20k. Hope that helps.

How do you do the top of the arch without the stones falling? Simple frame support??

Thanks

[tatioscorporation]

The mortar normally provides enough suction to hold it. Butter the stone sufficiently and push it in place once and leave it. Realize that it could fall, so be very careful to not be under it when you release the stone or until it drys. Do some tests until you are sure you have the right approach. The basic structure is wood framing, plywood, vapor barrier, diamond mesh, mortar parging on mesh, and then stone. Keep mortar base moist when applying stone. Hope that helps.

nice work can you please tell me how you made the arch out  of concrete thank you

[tatioscorporation]

I tried to respond a couple weeks ago and failed 2 times. I do not think I hit reply, but Post Comment first. So here is the 3rd short version attempt. The steel columns are framed with 2x4's and plywood, forming the shape. Next diamond mesh is attached and parged with type S mortar. Hope that helps

You should start with the corner stones first then fill the gaps. You are only useing face stones and the efect is lost.
