    First time installing shiplap. Top 2/3 of wall is drywall. Bottom 1/3 (approx) will be shiplap. With chair rail/cap at top of shiplap. I am putting new shiplap directly over some old nasty T&G bevel edge pine from the 1960's. The floor is not perfectly level and I can't figure out if I level...

    I have always enjoyed watching Home Improvement television shows. I began watching This Old House in 1979 when it first aired and have never missed a single episode. HGTV came along and has added more ways to see what is done. I am very surprised by the widespread acceptance of Barn Doors...

    Hi there, I'm looking to do an accent wall with some kind of wood panels. Haven't decided whether I'll just have Home Depot cut 1/4" down or buy Timberline Skinnies or flooring for the wall. But here's my question--whenever I look at the install videos for all the materials, they use nails AND...

    I'm back again. So, we moved into a house built in about 1905. And the entire house is shiplap, obviously. Now, of course, my husband loves the bare, stained shiplap walls. Problem is, the previous owners painted 'test patches' of ugly brown paint in various shades everywhere. As well as the...

    I am installing a shiplap ceiling in our kitchen. The shiplap is 10" wide, and we're going to fasten it directly to the floor joists. Does anyone have any advice on what to use for nails? Ideally, we'd love to have them not show. Thanks!
