I'm showing you some tips on how to install 12' T&G Pine on a ceiling without help. These tips will work for any installation , with or without any help.
I have a bunch of T&G material that I am close to installing by myself. Your wedge gap closing jigs are a great idea and I will be using the same. Much appreciated and thanks for posting.
Nice process. I'm doing a family room, small bath and kitchen ceiling myself (14+ foot boards). My tip if you are using furring strips like I had to place... route a few of them with a MicroJig MatchFit bit so you can slide MatchFit clamps along the install to hold the boards as you straighten and nail them. One near each end and one in the middle is all you need. When you get to the last board or two, just chisel the grove to get the clamp out. Worked like a charm.
Some great tips here. Very helpful video - I really appreciate the effort you put in the get it all on camera. I'm confident now I can do my kitchen ceiling. Thanks!
I picked mine up at LL Flooring - I looked today and they have some T&G Pine for $1.99 Sq Ft. - if they let you dig through the pile you might get lucky
Hi Tony, measure the distance from the top board , (don't include the tongue) to the ceiling. If you measured to where the ceiling touches the wall set your saw fence to that distance then angle your saw blade to the same angle that the ceiling is. ( if your roof has a 6:12 pitch then the angle is 26.57 degrees) hope this helps GL
I'm in the process of doing this to my ceiling. I have insulation installed but it gets wet and drips water on our floor. So how should I approach this problem to solve. I am going to be putting tongue and groove boards.
@@jamesrussell6870 I know this is old, but in warmer climates you want the vapor barrier on the exterior wall where most of the humidity is. In colder climates you want it on the warm side (inside) where most of the humidity is. Your main goal is to block the water where its at. It was weird to me too when I went to help a friend fix houses in Florida after a large storm in his families neighborhood.
@@good2live225 whaaa? Dude you, like everyone else, need a fire rated ceiling assembly. You seriously concerned about sheetrock weight and not minimum fire protection?
@@zefrum3 I appreciate the need for a safe building structure and the need to prevent a possible fire from traveling further in a building. As this is a tiny house +/- 200sqft there is no avenues of travel available . This tiny house has 5 exit points (door and windows) to help ensure safe exiting if needed.
@@jamesrussell6870 is this a mobil home? I rewatched and caught the beginning where he said tiny home. If its mobile I have no idea if there are DOT requirements and what those would be.

Thanks for taking the time. Great tips that I will be using when I do my 16x16 porch soon....by myself :)
Thanks , and GL

Thank you, GL with your project
Nicely done!
several great tips here.
Thank you !
Very nice. Do you like those ear muffs, if so, where did you get them?
I’m doing this in my shed to cabin build, and 8.17$ for a 8’ board is just stupid. But it’s what I want.

Excellent tips! - You are protecting you ears.Great!👍🏻 What about your lungs?😮
Thank you
Glad you liked it !
@@good2live225 Yes, well explained, and you seem like someone I would easily call my friend. Thank you again.
How did you cover gap between ceiling and wall, thanks for video it was very helpful

are they prefinished or bare. Not sure which to get
Went with bare, unfinished wood . bare was a design style , if paint was going to be used we would have done it before installation - good luck
ty! I was thinking shellac but not sure@@good2live225
How much does each board cost? This looks like it could get expensive.
The price of wood changes almost daily. Since this is a tiny house on wheels you go with a wood
Why no vapour barrier?
My thoughts too. Tiny house code I guess
Vapor barrier??
There is an exterior vapor barrier .
@@good2live225 No you didn't!! That won't pass any code in US!! Moisture will migrate through walls & condensate on warm side of that cold surface!!
@@jamesrussell6870 This tiny home is on a trailer. The unpainted T&G will allow moisture to move through the wood and through the hundreds of seams.

Wheres your 5/8” x type sheet rock?
5/8 sheetrock would add a lot a weight .

@@zefrum3 You do not need a "fire rated" ceiling in this circumstance. Not in any US code..
