The Hill Project
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 12 ส.ค. 2021
DIY with Paige
I'm Paige, the creator here at the Hill. The Hill Project is all about DIY entertainment in the Saskatchewan prairies (Canada!). I’m a novice DIYer with enough (false?) confidence to get in over my head and enough charm to convince my helpful husband to take on just one more project with me.
Life has become a nonstop chain of projects since we’ve moved to our dream property (nicknamed 'The Hill'); a patch of native prairie and one giant hill. Creative, I know, but in a province where the running joke is a run-away dog (that you can watch for days) the hill seems worth a mention. This channel might be worth a subscribe if you're looking to be inspired, you want to learn from our mistakes or you just want to sit back and take in some of the scenery.
“Make the plan, execute the plan, expect the plan to go off the rails… throw away the plan” but while you’re at it learn something new and improve.

Thank you! installing mine today.
Only loblolly pines will grow in my red dirt. Need more organic matter
We has red clay in southern USA. Very little organic material in soils. Would this process build soil? Thanks Hamp
❤ seeing young folk doing diy projects like this that adds value to the community!
81k views and 500 subs. Keep up the grind you guys can do this
great job on the video production, you guys need to consider consulting for some of the youtube DIY channels that have lots of followers but no clue how to produce videos 👍
I filled the gaps with joint compound, sanded it, primed it, then painted it. Not sure if i should've but what are your thoughts?
It looks great but why not the celing?
I love it
The whole time watching this made me ache for an airless paint sprayer, haha. Perfect job for a sprayer! I wonder how a drywall skim coat would've worked out. Not sure if a drywall skim coat in a garage would last or not. Interesting project. Also foam would've worked for that edge and spackling the edge of the OSB if you ever don't want the nosing there. 🤔 Nice work, looks great! 😎
love the project, also how did you do your brick wall, is that panelling?
Thank you! Yes, the brick wall is panel. It was really easy to install but we did have some minor bowing due to moisture.
You look like Titanic Sinclair Nevermind, thanks for the video. Very useful indeed
😂 Why is that so accurate..?!
I have a shop to use as my craft shop. It is 12 x 32, I think. My husband has installed osb throughout. Now, it's left up to me to finish the inside. PLEASE tell me the easiest way. I am not a young woman, lol. Or can you recommend any other ways to cover up the ugly osb besides paneling?? I may end up leaving it bare.
The right paint can cover almost anything. And having a roller with an extension makes painting quick work, well.. at least a lot quicker than paneling!
Better than plastic by a mile
Deeper mulch on top
I should have told the builder of my little 3 season entryway to return the OSB. Now a huge pia to smooth and paint.
vapor barrier inside OMG
This is normal in cold climates. The vapor barrier should be on the warm side of the wall
you're pretty
This was helpful because I don't have the tools for biscuit joints. I see that Lowes has a Kreg dowel tool for $10 accommodating 1/2" and 3/4" width, so perfect for my job. Hey are you guys planning on creating any more content? I noticed you haven't uploaded anything for months. Cheers!
Hi! Life got hectic but there are a couple videos with editing in the works. So yes, more project videos to come!
Excellent music, excellent info. Thanks!
Thank you!
Looks like OSB not a cardboard box?
Do i not need a gap around the perimeter to account for swelling because of temperature changes?
Natural wood products will shrink and swell. Standard recommendation is 1/4" gap around the perimeter. We installed our ceiling in the summer when humidity was highest so opted to reduce the gap anticipating more shrink than swell. Hopefully that works in our favour!
@@thehillproject1 thank you!
How about some details on the shop, such as size, intended use, etc?
I like it! Beautiful property you all have there. Down here in northeast NC we don't have much in the way of hills or rocks, just flat swamp land.
Nice 🙏
Tip: If the building is going to be used as a shop, put the rough side of the OSB towards the shop. It acts as a noise cancelier kind of like a sound studio. it's harder to paint, but functions better for the intended use. I am building a woodshop right now, but I'm using 3/4" ply on the walls to handle the load of all the things attached to it, and the abuse it will take from flying objects and swinging boards. The fire risk is obviously higher with wood, so make sure to take that into consideration.
@TrapDoorWoodworks I'm considering OSB for my barndo ceiling. It's super loud when it rains. Your opinion, smooth side up or down for maximum sound deadening? Mineral wool will be between the OSB and the spray foam insulation as well. Thanks. -Tex
@@dteam8602 If you have mineral wool and spray foam towards the tin, I would put the smooth side towards that and the rough side into the room. That should stop noise inside the building from bouncing around. Good luck!
@@TrapDoorWoodworks Excellent. Thank you!
@@dteam8602 You are quite welcome! 😊
The background music was way too much. Way way way too much.
Hello. Can I paint OSB directly with acrylic paint?
I'd recommend using a waterproofing primer as a base coat first
There are no tips
Right lol
*Lady, you got skills! Great video. The production was perfect, length, imagery, attention to detail - awesome. 🏆🏆🏆🏆*
Thank YOU! Your comment made my day 😊

Your very Beautiful. Gosh I need a woman like you
Where I buy wood
We bought from a local timber store, but you can find this type of tongue and groove pine at Homedepot or Lowe’s too
Yeah I’ll just tell you where I got mine. Facebook marketplace had some Amish untreated tongue and groove pine that the kiln dry
Hi Paige,what are you doing how are you
I used standard kilz interior / exterior primer and it looks better than this did. I'd recommend in the future to sand down the edges between each sheet of OSB so that they are flat, then when caulking, use a 1.5 inch putty knife to apply the caulk smooth and hide the seams entirely (you can use your finger on the corners) . Additionally, I'd recommend applying a liberal amount of primer as well as applying 3-4 coats in total, additionally, I'd recommend at least running over it with a pole sander at the minimum starting on the 2nd-3rd coat before the 4th primer. It will still have some texture but you'll get rid of most of the larger anomalies that can make it look bad versus just making it look like a slightly textured wall.
I’m curious, you painted the seams before boards…did it fill in the seams between the sheets?
For most of the sheets, yes the initial primer did the trick, but there were a few with wider gaps that needed the paintable silicone to get a nice finish
You would better laminate sheet rather than staining
What gauge nail did you use? Carpenters in the USA recommend 15 or 16 gauge. Looking at your gun it appears to be 18 gauge or even 23 gauge.
Thats good info - thanks for sharing! Our brad nailer is 18 gauge.
Can you tell me what gauge Nail you used?
6:30 So, the title is just click bait. Great. Thanks for wasting my time.
You didn't say what brand of paint that you guys put on for your final coat
I used an acrylic latex interior paint for the final coat
Can I use pin nailer gun for the tongue and groove board to install on ceiling? could the nail be able to hold these board?
Good question! A pin nailer with smaller headless nails likely doesn't have the holding power for this tongue and groove pine. I'd recommend a brad nailer or finish nailer for this project
I love that you added great music and the beautiful animals.You did a great job.I have a couple of questions.Is there a latex paint and primer combo or should I buy them separately and is that flat,satin,etc.
Thanks! I used a separate paint and primer. The high quality primer let me get away with one coat of paint so it was worth it :)
Who in their right mind would place wood (even treated) into the soil? I don't care where you are or if you use treated or not... IT WILL ROT AND DECAY and it's only a matter of when...
awesome video!
Hi, any reason you didnt opt to paint before installl?
Hi! It's actually more time consuming to paint first. Once installed there is a larger surface that can be painted in one continuous motion
@@thehillproject1 aah gotcha. Thanks!!!
Great soundtrack too!
that was an easy job...no longer than a day to do.
Save yourself 8 mins of wasted time. Its not smooth finish when its osb. Dont bother watching it. Misleading title.
6:30 timestamp
Yep, to get it smooth you have to do many coats of primer, sand between primers and use a 1.5 inch putty knife for caulking the seams. If you want it to actually be 100% smooth only possibility really is to use drywall mud (quick set, don't use standard mud) and do a skimcoat on everything after sanding down everything.
@@Lolatyou332 Does the mud stay on through the bumps and thumps of everyday life? I really don't like drywall and want to do my walls in something stronger and more DIY friendly.
Yep. Skipped thru it. Result was what I figured. Not smooth.
Doesn't outside air leak in from the actual garage doors?
The garage doors are insulated and installed with weather stripping which goes a long way to seal the space and help with climate control.
