What happens here

Cut shiplap planks to the desired length to fit the wall space vertically, from the countertop to the ceiling. Apply a zigzag bead of construction adhesive (like Flex Glue) to the back of each shiplap plank. Position the first plank flush with one end of the wall, using a laser level to ensure it is perfectly plumb. Secure it with brad nails on the outer edge, which will later be hidden by a transition piece. For subsequent planks, slide them into place, fitting the shiplap joint, and secure them with brad nails on the inner edge of the tongue, effectively hiding the fasteners. Repeat this process across the entire wall.

Goal: Cut shiplap planks to length, apply construction adhesive to the back, and brad nail them vertically to the wall, ensuring a straight and seamless appearance.

that's sturdy for the axle wall we're going to bring in a little bit of shiplap we're going to do it vertical not horizontal i'm going to start cutting the long pieces then we'll figure out the small pieces between the shelves all right so for installation of this stuff um you usually have to put like a one by two in the back to create your own framing but i don't want to stick out so we're just gonna do what we do with the board and batten we're gonna use our flex glue this stuff is nice and tacky and strong we're gonna put a bunch of it on the back and then brad nail it on i'm going to leave a little gap away from here because i'm going to put like a round over edge for a transition piece not to go in here and the most important part make sure you have a laser level make sure your starting line is straight and it's not slowly bending because by the time you get to the other side it's going to be tilted way more than it should be so one of the important things to know when doing ship lap a lot of people forget once you start your first line you put the brad nails on the outside but after that all the brad nails go on the inside therefore you don't see them and far less sanding [Music] okay shiplap is up everything's looking really nice what's next on the agenda is
