Install Shiplap Siding

it we are going to do shiplap surprise surprise ever wonder what 400 bucks of shiplap looks like well now you do i i didn't realize how expensive though i've done shiplab before who am i kidding yes i did i'm just lining myself so i'm laying out the pieces just before i start tacking them in and here's the issue that i'm having i'm having a leftover here of about two and a half inches and i'm thinking well what about if i put it down the middle you can do that the only problem is wherever i put it there's gonna be one strip here or two strips on the sides both are an eyesore i feel like when in doubt go down the middle [Music] okay uh mistake what surprise right you got to think like a few steps ahead so i'm thinking about this line right here and that is going to be one solid piece by me having this here the next piece will go full and then i'm gonna have a small piece again i i can't let that happen it's gonna look horrible so i'm gonna take this one off i'm gonna move it over here and then just move my way out this way then i'll trim this section off typically when you install shiplap you only put the brad nails on the inside tongue part that way you don't have to sand it or anything like that it's just a perfect finish because we found ourselves in this dilemma where we had to split these two down the middle in order to make everything symmetrical and transition out uh we are now having to or have the ability to just brad nailed the tongues and as opposed to before i had to do the faces and i tried to keep it minimally that way i have to patch minimally the glue will do just enough work but just so you guys know that if you measure everything out perfectly you won't have to split anything down in the middle but you know learn from my mistakes i guess [Music] up next i'm going to remove this tv and do the back wall i was going to save like 150 bucks by not doing it but i know when i'm going to get destroyed people going like oh you should have been
