If you would like to go to the next level get the ends "end matched" which is used in flooring mostly. It is basically a manufacturer pattern cut on the end and allows the joints to lock together ...super clean look.

You should 22½° the seams on the studs. You could go 45°, but that's more than necessary. Also the side facing out in the video is typically the side you put against the studs. I personally prefer using tongue and groove that has prefinished ends (end matched) meaning theres a tongue and groove on the ends of the boards as well. When you cut the last board to fit the current span, you use the cut edge of the the leftover as your starter for the next row. It's also a good idea to use a small cutoff chunk of board as a block to hammer against on top of your boards you're installing, because sometimes they don't sit tight against the row beneath them. This prevents you unintentionally smashing the tongue by hitting it directly with your hammer. And you always use a spacer under your bottom row. Usually ½" to ¾" to allow space for flooring to be installed as well as to allow for expansion. Never sit them tight to the subfloor.

Thanks Klaus! I am renovating a 90 year old cabin and nothing is square or plumb. It's balloon construction and built on surface pilings (not sunk into the ground). There is not a level surface in the building. I have (at least) two issues. The first is obvious and the second maybe not so. The second problem is that if I put anything too square, crisp, "perfect", it shows how out of whack everything else is. This is typically not a problem for me since square, crisp, and "perfect" are words that somewhat over state my ability. Nevertheless the second issue is a consideration. Back to the first, my floor drops 1.5" over 18 feet and it's not a straight line. Starting flat on the floor is not an option. I'll end up having my wife help (she is a very good saw man although hates the term) and she brings me patience. Once the bottom row is right the rest should come together rather quickly until we reach the ceiling/floor above. That floor is uneven in a different way! Boy this is going to be worth it though.

@@KlausMedia thanks. I can use the help! Here's how I approached it. The T&G is going in horizontally not vertically. When it comes to level and plumb it is the perception that matters. It needs to look right to the eye not simply the bubble. The areas that must look right are the corners where two walls meet and across open door ways where the horizontal line is broken. The last areas of importance are the floor and ceiling gaps. I took a laser level and starting at eye level struck several reference lines paying particular attention to the corners and doorways. I started at eye level because that's how you see the room when you walk in not the floor or the ceiling. Once I had the reference lines I set the bottom board on each wall approx half a plank from the uneven floor and made sure that it was level, the corner joint was right and the cross doorway lines were right. As I built up the wall I checked level on every plank and where it was out would adjust it to level. This reduced the cumulative error or "tower of pisa" effect. A 1/16" adjustment will not be seen but an 18/16" error will make the wall look like it is leaning. Eye level references, matched corners and doorways, maintain level as you add rows.

I'm wondering what you plan to use to seal all of this. And did you seal it before you installed? Or will you do that once you're completely done? We recently purchased a home and I want to do an accent wall (to begin with) with T&G knotty pine. But I have no idea what to use as a finish and whether to finish them before installation or afterward. Thanks for any advise.
@KlausMedia Жыл бұрын
We did not seal it as we wanted the all-natural smell and feel of the wood. It’s most important to seal flooring, but there’s also the problem of the color of the wood changing over time, especially if it’s going to be exposed to sunlight. We’ll see if we decide to seal it down the road.

I’m planing on stone or brick style walls to offset all the wood and white shiplap on ceilings with can lights. The home is about 1100 square feet. I would like to know what kind of planking this is and is there a more affordable option to get the similar look as your video? Also, what do you do with the corners of 2 walls meeting with the same planks? Does one side wall butt on the other side wall and you trim the corner?

what about corners? We are installing this and had one wall done from floor to ceiling. But when starting the connecting wall, only the bottom 4 or 5 boards lined up in the corner for that straight line from wall to wall. Each one going up, is off just a small amount, and the more you go up the more the line is off. It just don't make sense unless the board is actually a different height than the others? Anyway, I noticed at windows you cut the board out (notched out) on the long board. I'm curious, going on up the window did you use a long board and notch it out all the way up? Or just cut the board from wall to window and same on other side?
