What happens here

Begin installing the cedar tongue-and-groove paneling on the ceiling first, then move to the walls. Use a brad nailer to secure the planks, driving nails into the tongue part of the board so they are hidden by the next plank. Ensure proper spacing for expansion and contraction of the wood due to heat and moisture. When installing the ceiling, leave small gaps where the ceiling meets the walls to allow for natural movement. Repeat the process for the walls, ensuring the first board at the bottom sits flush with the floor. It's crucial to leave small gaps at corners and edges, as the wood will expand and contract.

What they say

Hide

all right so this is what 950 linear feet of the cedar tongue groove looks like if you're wondering how to calculate it take your square footage multiply by 12 and then divide it by the width of the board it's roughly around 2.50 cents per linear foot so a little pricey i think i paid like 2 300 on this it would be so much cheaper to do it in a pine uh though they have the tongue groove it's like 80 cents a linear foot but pine won't hold up as long as suitable so just it's the cost of doing things the right way progress report i feel like i'm living on mars i don't know the ceiling a little tricky especially the first one to get done when you drive the brad nail in drive it on the tongue part right there that way you won't see any exposed nails out there and it's important to do the ceiling first because then we'll do the sidewalls and the sidewalls will actually hold or help support the top also gaps important this thing is going to expand and contract so make room for it [Music] you intentionally want to leave these
