If you were going to stain and seal the wood, should you do that after installation or before? Thanks for the detailed video!

Thanks for making this video. It was very helpful for a similar project I will be doing.FYI, you need box extenders for the outlets. They no longer meet code where I live when you just bump them out like that. At least wrap them with electrical tape.

Very helpful. That staggered look trick is really smart.

I love your video but a friendly suggestion, it’s very muffled and next video don’t fast forward I’m a girl lol and I’m trying to follow along when it comes to cutting out outlets! But by far your video is the best description when it comes to installing T&G thanks from Maine girl.

When you hang shiplap around a door do you remove the trim around the door and then rehang the trim or run it it up against the door trim? Im trying to figure out how to do it on a wall that currently has a finished door on the wall..

Strange to buy long enough pieces then find that they want seams?

I am going to be doing shiplap directly onto the studs (with paper backed insulation) in my garage. Anything you would do different vs. installing over drywall?

Very helpful! I'm trying to install one where windows are already installed so planning to remove the casing but i couldn't understand why you have to leave 3/16th inch

Thanks for the video! I ordered my materials before watching videos. Instead of factoring full-width pieces at the windows to cut out after nailing, I measured and bought shorter pieces for either side of the window. I did add a few extra pieces for each of my sizes. Do you think I'll run into issues with matching up level at the top of the window when I transition from the shorter pieces back to the full width pieces? Does my question make sense?

What type of nail gun did you use and how long are the nails? Thank you, enjoyed the video

[NickiLou]

do you put anything on it to seal it or is it ok to leave as is

[thomassuttonsiny]

How would you install in on a metal framed wall?

[cameronknight]

did you put the nails in the shiplap grove or on the face?

[jsand]

It looks like you installed tongue and groove not shiplap. I don’t think an electrical inspection would pass those receptacles with the lugs outside of the box. You need to extend the boxes out flush with the boards. Also you only needed long boards below and above the windows. You could have use shorter boards between the windows and cut the side pieces from a few shorter boards or used cutoff pieces to save money. But you probably already knew all of this.

I have a question. Is it necessary to remove interior windows to install shiplap board? I have a contractor who is putting this into his labor cost on his estimate.

Can I install tung and grove pine around a claw foot tub ?

[donhuffer]

Um, that’s not shiplap. That’s car siding. Geez.
