Not with something this small. If I was doing a very tall, long wall, then I would not install it in this same manner. However, an expansion gap is not necessary with this. Thanks for the view!
Great video! Question: I’m going to do this on a fairly large wall, but there are two separate baseboard heating vents along a large part of the wall/floor. Would it make more sense to start at the top and work my way down as long as I get the first board level?
I would not recommend that. The first row or two will be a pain, but if you can simply loosen the two heaters from the wall, you should be able to notch the wood around the wires feeding the heaters. Make sure you are 100% level on those first couple of rows, and you will be able to move quickly after that. Going from the top down will require 2 sets of hands, and fitting the last piece or two at the bottom could be a real challenge. Let me know how it goes! Thanks for the view!
Love this, because I too have crown molding. When you reinstall the crown molding up top, do you have to cut the old crown molding at all (any of the angles, length, etc.)? Or, do you just push it up there, fasten it and then caulk? If you get a sec, please lemmeknow. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching, Frank. In this scenario, I had to cut back the crown molding on the two sidewalls 3/4" (the approx thickness of the shiplap). The piece I took down was already the correct length, and it had both ends of it already coped from the original install 11 years ago. You might have to cope one end though. Hope this helps
@@linkinlogs6991, totally get it now. I knew your wife did most of the work at that point, so I wanted to make sure. 😂 Kidding aside, thanks again. Getting started shortly.
@@linkinlogs6991 will do. Are you starting a channel; with a plan to post regular content? In other words, would it help if I “Subscribe” and turn on notifications?

Correct. Of course, you forgot overhead and profit. And I always assume the house is NOT level and I trust my level to determine that for me before and during installation.
$1,500 - $1,800 wow..that is insanely high for a small wall especially done with the low cost materials..for that price he better be installing some windsor one..$250 for materials and he is charging almost $2,000
I really liked the background music...I felt like sitting on the porch and sipping on some moonshine as I watched this video.
Haha. I prefer apple pie flavor! Thanks for the view.
Thanks a lot! this is the most helpful video I've watched for installing shiplap!
Appreciate the view, and the comment!
Very informative! You should have more subscribers.
Nice Job!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Why not use a piece of vertical trim over the ship lap where the ship lap meets the painted wall?
Not a bad idea, and I could have. I just wanted a streamlined look. Thx for the view.
can be mounted without removing the crown moldings ?
No. The crown molding needs to go on top of the ship-lap. There is no way to do this without removing it. Thanks for the view!
Do you need an expansion gap anywhere?

Where you got such cheap shiplap? Very expensive in Lowe’s
I actually got it at Lowes BEFORE lumber prices went crazy...
Really, where you bought such cheap ship lap?
Very pretty! What do you do first, caulk or paint?
I always caulk first. Use paintable caulk, and you can then paint over it. Thanks for the view!

First you are assuming the house is level. Measure down from the ceiling. 350 in material, 500 labor, does not come up to 1800 dollars.
Correct. Of course, you forgot overhead and profit. And I always assume the house is NOT level and I trust my level to determine that for me before and during installation.
If he start to lost the level on one side it's not because the cheap stuff you use, it's more because all your cut are on right side. My though.
Look good only the job have a lot of nails holes…
