I Turned Old Barn Wood Into a Garage Accent Wall
What happens here
When encountering electrical outlets and the main breaker panel, the creator precisely measures and cuts the barnwood planks to fit around them. He places a board in position, marks the outlines of the fixtures using a speed square and pencil, then carefully cuts out the marked sections with a multi-tool. He repeats this process for both the electrical outlet and the larger electrical panel, ensuring the cuts are clean and accurate. Once cut, these custom-fitted boards are nailed into place around the respective obstacles.
Goal: Accurately cut barnwood planks to accommodate existing electrical fixtures and the breaker panel
