      I cruise some building sites on this here internet and they say things like 2 by 4 and feets and inches
      Like the whole English speaking world is curled up inside the good ol' USA
      I'm not saying they're actually xenophobic, but .....
      I mean, it's 2020 in a few weeks and the entire USA is STILL using the old imperial system, pretending they in a Star Wars movie with light sabres, light sabres measuring three 'king's feet' and 4 'king's thumbs' or whatever the fuck it is all based on.
      17/32nds of stupidity, if you ask me.
      And it's metre for the length and meter for the instrument.

    No adhesive being used was intentional. The timber used is light weight, after nailing, caulking and painting them to the wall they are sturdy and not easily removed. The point of no adhesive is that if you ever wanted to remove them or re decorate you can do so without damaging the wall 👍

    Im going to be doing this to my living room and bedroom. However one thing i am adding is that i will be using wallpaper to use inside the squares to make it stand out a bit more. Or i was thinking about wallpapering the entire wall and still using this setup in this video. Still undecided

    Are you nailing straight into plaster? How do the vertical moldings stay on if there's no timber behind for the nail?

      The trick is to shoot at an angle instead of straight. That will give it even more hold. I would also use 2inch nails for max hold. 2" nails would be the maximum nail length you can buy.
      Other comments suggested glue as well but I am thinking that's getting to be an over kill.

    Nice job.
    Not sure if i missed it but you may want to point out that you'll need to be very careful nailing into a wall so close to a power outlet.....
