Introduction and Wall Preparation

I've been putting this project off for long enough and today we're going to put this old barn wood up on this wall. Let's get after it. I got this stack of old barn wood that I got from a friend of mine and uh I like it. There's a bunch of different colors. There's some light brown in here, there's some gray in here, there's all different widths, there's 8-in, there's 6-in, and there's 4-in. Primarily we're going to be using 8-in and 6-in. Now I haven't totally figured out how I want to do this wall yet, so we're going to make some decisions as we go. Let's get after it. So one of the biggest dilemmas that I had the last couple days is trying to figure out if I want to cut these edges off or if I want to keep them rough and I think I decided to keep them rough. Um I asked a couple people, they all said keep them rough. I was going to trim them all at first, but you know what? It is a garage and it is a rough wall. So I'm going to go ahead and keep them. First I'm going to go and I'm going to clean up this wall. I got some screws in here. This could get nailed down a little better. I got a screw here.
