    I have installed beadboard on a numerous porch ceilings. I have never run it perpendicular to the front of the house. I always go lengthwise to the porch for aesthetics.

      Question: what to do if you need to replace a couple bad boards in the MIDDLE without redoing the whole ceiling?

    • @gary24752
      @gary24752 Рік тому +1

      It depends on the ceiling joists. The bead board has to be installed perpendicular to the ceiling joists.

      Carefully take out bad board. Rip the back side of groove off new board and face nail.

    How would they have made adjustments if the 2 sides didn't match up midway through install? How would they cut in light fixtures? These are the helpful things that are missing in this video.

    • @CheeseBae

      If the ceiling starts going at an angle then you'd put a tiny shim between the beadboard on one side. That would help make the ceiling square again. It would also create a gradually widening gap, but you wouldn't notice it from the porch, especially after it's painted.

    • @MandoFettOG
      @MandoFettOG 4 роки тому +4

      You have to provide nailing surface all four sides around the light box so maybe some additional framing. Then you can nail off the cut pieces with no problem.

  • @joshuasmith1215
    @joshuasmith1215 4 роки тому +1

    I like how that first nail through the tongue moved the whole board. Next time expect that and pull it farther out so it corrects itself! Or just face nail it!

    Ceiling battens should be no greater than 450mm apart and boards should be glued when secret nailing.

    Definently would have painted the boards before installing them. I also would have checked to make sure they were square to the house with a 3,4,5 triangle. Also I would have left visable marks as to each joist location.
