Love the natural tongue and groove pine! And Bryan has a winner with the vise grips!
Thanks! He does get some good ideas!
Wow! That kitchen ceiling looks amazing!!
You guys did a great job!
Thanks so much!
Love the ceiling, Great tool hack too. Thank you for sharing the trick. :)
Thanks so much!
Wow I’m SO glad I found this video! We’re renovating a cabin out in Alice, CO and this is exactly what I want to do in the main living/kitchen area! Thanks for the great video :)
Thanks! Good luck with your project!
All of us in the office here at *Log Home Mart* of Wisconsin Rapids, WI absolutely love this video. Very well done.
Thanks so much!!
Awesome job, looks fantastic, and you did it yourself!
Thanks so much!
great job guys love the pine ceiling. keep on truckn
Thanks!
That spacer board trick at the end was genius. Every video provides a learning point. Brill vid as usual.
Thanks girl!
First thing, rent or buy some rolling scaffolding to work off of. Will speed things up considerable. And much safer. As for gaps on walls, temporary tack trim board in place then scribe to wall with a set of dividers and cut to fit. Do side walls first then cut top trim width to match width of side trim. Have fun!
We will probably do this for the higher 20 ft ceiling in the main house.Thanks for the trim tips!
I just love the teamwork between you and Brian, the kitchen ceiling could have only been a sideshow and you are the main event! Hahahaha. Really, a beautiful, superb job. A lot of savings doing it yourself.
Thanks so much!
great job Bryan keep up the good work!!
Thanks!
looks AMAZING! Nice work
Thanks so much!
Great job!
Thank you!
Looks great! Im wanting to do this to my living room, building a home and the drywall is next, but think I may give this look a shot
Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks! Its very transforming!
Really nice job. Thank you for all of the tid bits of information. I'll be doing our ceiling within the next couple of months. THANKS!
Thanks!
Beautiful ceiling!
Thank you!
Well done!
Thank you!
Kitchen looks great
Thank you!
Super amazing , wow , I love the wood too , watching from Warrenton oregon ....,
Thanks so much!
It looks amazing
thnak you!!

Thanks- so are we!
Amy, you married a really talented guy! Nice job both of you!
Sure did! Thanks
Y'all done a really awesome job
Thanks!
Looks great.
Thanks!
I like the ceiling..looks good.
Thank you
Gracias from Peru!!
Thank you!
Once you get the first three rows established it goes faster and when you change angles to where you are pulling instead of pushing it gets easier. It helps to nail first board in so secure and you can take out nails or cover with moulding...great job!
It sure does! thanks so much
The place is really coming along.
Thanks!
I love it!
Us too!
Thank you!
Always wondered about these chalet homes and I love seeing wood interior ceilings. I can't see this as a DIY though.
Very much depends on your experience, but yes you can do this yourself with the right tools.
That ceiling is beautiful.
Thank you
@@ColoradoMountainLiving You are welcome
👀 fantastic 👍
Thank you!
realy nice job
Thank you!
Looks great! When you work alone alot of times you have to develop little tricks to do things that normally would take another set of hands. Work smarter not harder!
Very true! thanks!!
Looking good...
Thanks!
Make a hanger for the nail gun , to uses on the ladder . Like you would for a paint can . That way you don`t have to carry the nail gun up and down all the time .
Did you see he had fashioned one out of electrical wire in one of the shots? clipped it to his belt.
Looks great, we are throwing some boards up on our ceiling too, a bit different than your ceiling as ours doesn't have the hips.
Thanks! good luck with your project!!
Very nice!
Hi it looks great. I did a pine ceiling about 30years ago years ago in the kitchen , dining area and over the years it got darker and darker . Maybe the pine in the USA has different qualities than here in South Africa. It looks like you are making progress and soon you will have the end in sight. Getting back to pine I was told to leave a slight gap 2mm in between the boards to allow for expansion. I once saw a floor where the boards had lifted all over because it was to tightly packed and nailed.
Thank you!
We tend to have the opposite problem here and the boards tend to shrink and gaps get wider. It's very dry here with no humidity. Our neighbor did a deck and left too much spacing between boards and now their small dogs feet fall through them.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving That makes sense! I live in Hawaii, in a very humid climate, so can probably expect a different experience regarding the gaps.
It looks great👌🇵🇷
Thanks!
Hey guys good job looks really nice! and by the way you look like Sandra Bullock. :) Thank you for the video gonna help with my project on the patio cover porch.Thanks
Oh thank you!
Bryan wins - again :-)
He's a real winner!
Nice
Thanks
Wow that is a nice job. I did a tongue & groove on the soffit and gable end of my garage and that was hard never mind doing a ceiling like that . Plus more to go. It would kill me now going up and down the ladders and holding the boards and tools . You gotta do what you gotta do I guess . Maybe some sort of scaffolding would make the job easier .
Probably scaffolding for the main living area with the 20 ft ceilings!
Man, I could never get those holes for the outlets to come out so well. Good job!
Well if you look REALLY close- they are a bit off center, but once the fixtures are up you'll never know!
its an art, if you been in the trade long enough you learn a few things...hes deff right tho they are always off a little but fixture in this case is final touch
Our contractor did the wood ceiling in our great room as I have a issue with height. Where the sloped ceiling meets the flat they actually bent the board. I was told they cut the 16' board 3/4 of the way through on a table saw and soak it in a 20' trough at their shop. They have jigs where they bend the board wet and let it dry. I was skeptical figuring the boards would crack at the seam over time but the ceiling was installed in 2004 and hasn't yet. We were going to put the edge trim where the ceiling meets the wall like you guys did. Was shocked how uneven it was on the drywall. Drywall didn't look uneven at all. They said if we fastened the trim to the wall instead of the ceiling boards it would help. So they ripped the boards in half and did that. Looked much better but being the obsessive compulsive people we are we paid one of the workers a hundred bucks to stay over and caulk along the trim board and drywall, then paint the caulk to match the wall. Now you can get the cabinets in, Woo Hoo....
Wow that sounds like real wood crafting! Sometimes that drywall fools the eye- our was really far off as well- the boards were straight as an arrow.
Looks good. You need a miter saw stand so you can saw standing up.
Yeah or a permanent workshop!
Nice job and the results look great! Thanks for sharing the tips.
A couple of questions. Although your finishing materials don't have a lot of additional 'R' value, as you seal things up - especially when you create dead air space with the insulating foam - do you notice any incremental improvement in heat retention? When you complete a finished surface, does that room get much louder?
How are Viggo and the cat dealing with all of the construction noise, new smells, and changing spaces as the work progresses? Finally, I haven't seen/heard you say anything about how your bees are doing for some time? How are they holding up in this bad weather?
Best of luck with all of your endeavors.
It's hard to say so far with the heat retention. I imagine there must be, but other factors, such as sun exposure and temperature outside are much bigger players in the day to day temp fluctuations. Also haven't noticed much of a difference yet in the loudness factor. I'm betting that once there are more furnishings, sound will dampen quite a bit.
Viggo seems immune to the construction sounds now. He can be feet away from a loud saw and not flinch. Trucks up and down the driveway though are an entirely separate matter! Toonces (the cat) hides from any loud noise and spends a lot of her time under the bed in the bed in the basement. She has been quite curious of the new upstairs though- and we frequently catch her exploring the area above.
The truth about the bees is that I don't know how they are doing myself. It's been so cold that they don't even leave their hive unless it's 50 and sunny out- so we haven't seen temps like that in awhile. Although, one mild weekend, I thought I saw one in the window of the upstairs when I was working- so I'm hoping at least one hive is still alive.
niiice !!
Thanks!
Using a pneumatic flooring nailer on siding works to keep the joints tight. Still have face nail some places the nailer won't work. The gap on the trim can be fixed by scribing the trim board along the wall with a 1/4 or or thickness required to cover the gap with a pencil line. Then take the board down and follow the line with a jig saw or circular so the trim board matches the wall. Also a scaffold on wheels aka baker scaffold I have a few so I can not work so hard. Overhead is tough for me.
Gotcha. Thanks for the tips!
There's a welder that comes with that clamp but I bet he forgot it but went back by himself and got it😜 hehe
haha
Nice work! It looks beautiful. Why not back bevel the trim pieces and then scribe with a sanding block. It will take some more time but you won’t have any gap at all
Thank so much. That's a clever way to do it. But we may take the easy route and just cover the gap with quarter round.
This
Nice work, and nice home, although a bit too big!
The addition of the basement as a walk out certainly makes it look much bigger than it feels. Of course, I say that now- wonder what I"ll think of it when it's all done.
NIce job. You two really crank out the work. Just wondering, are all your boards close to the exact length? Are you going to use the shorts and have some seams on the other ceilings? We did a large ceiling like this and we just loved it.
We still have lots of boards left. Maybe use some of the shorts on the window dormer area in the loft.
Great Job you all! I need to do this to an outdoor patio. Just curious how tall was the peak of that ceiling and is it okay just to use an extension ladder in there or will i need a very tall a frame? Also did you have to rip those last two pieces of wood to make them fit? Thanks
The ceiling height is about 16 feet. He just used 2 extension ladder, you might feel more comfortable with scaffolding.Both the ceiling and ladder on angles. the ladder had to stay steep. Yes to ripping the last 2 piecs of wood.
your work look amassing, keep up the good work. But remember take a day off, you dont want to use all your energi.
Thank you so much for the kind reminder!
She missed her 2nd nail but she’s still a winner
Thanks!
I hope there is room for expansion as the building settles and the seasons change the wood
Fortunately it's quite dry here and we don't have the swelling problems from summer time humidity.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving It's wood so a small gap which people usually have behind the moulding should suffice.
Is this ceiling clear finish tongue and groove? We are doing a house build and have a vaulted ceiling. Are having a clear pine pre-finished installed. Did not want the darker almond color pine as we thought it would be too dark for us. Your ceiling looks great! Thanks
We used water based clear polyurethane. thanks!
Beautiful! Did you "finish" the ceiling with anything? Like a stain, a poly? Thank you!
Yes! The boards were coated with a water based poly before being installed.
Great tips, Thank you. What gauge nailer did you use?
16 gauge 2.5 inch nails
remember to check level on first board- gap is ok because it will be covered by trim
Thanks!
Scribe trim boards while held or tacked in place and cut them with a jig saw
Yes! great advice!!
helpful video. might want to leave a 1/4" gap where the panels meet the walls to allow for the wood to expand in the summer. trim should cover that anyway. that's what you'd do with a wooden floor. otherwise it could buckle when it expands.
Thanks!
@@ColoradoMountainLiving I wondered about that too. Just ordered supplies to do our ceiling, am looking for tips. Did you have any problems with buckling?
i think it looks fantastic. the small spaces are passable, but i understand that they bother your hubby.
Yes we're pleased with how it came out.
Hi! Beautiful work on your ceiling! Quick question, did you remove the old ceiling before installing the T&G board? Thanks so much
No need- it's new construction.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving thanks
I think you can reverse those trigger clamps and use them as spreaders...
Oh- will have to try that for the short stuff, but we also need like a 12 ft spreader to reach across the span of the ceiling.
I would have made a scaffold with some 2x6's between the ladders ???? Unless you felt the need to burn a few going up and down...
We had to move and adjust the ladders quite a bit. But we're young and fit so going up and down is just another workout lol!
It looks great my only thought is the trim is to wide. If it was smaller you could bend it to take up imperfections in the sheet rock. Plus It looks to over powering. But it's my preference you guys did great!!
Thanks for the tips!
I agree with you. It is a style-choice however and the owner likes the look. Does anyone put crown or cove on these?
Do I need an eye test - - Upon first glance thought it said: 'Brianna's
Secret Tricks to Install Tongue & Groove Pine Board Ceiling' ... LOL (Dang Hollywood)
BAHAHAHAHA! So many jokes....
once you put the last board over the center gap, did you notice any creaking? We are trying to install blocks in the center of our tongue and groove vaulted ceiling so we can install a faux beam. Soon everything started creaking and making popping sounds in the evening, that we never heard before. My husband thought maybe the blocks acted like a brace pushing against the tongue and groove planks. I wondered if you or your husband have any suggestions???
We did not. We have the most creaking in our loft (main house) ceiling, it pops and creaks as the house warms up and cools down on a daily basis. We thought of drilling a venting hole for air exchange so that the wood is under less stress but we haven't done that yet.
what was your thinking about no vapour barrier in the ceiling.. I think you sprayed pen cell and not closed cell.
It's closed cell.
Did you seal the wood ceiling after you installed it? It doesn’t even look like it has poly on it. I recently install a t/g pine ceiling and am unsure wether I want to use poly or tongue oil or a finishing paste. What do you think?
I did a poly on the boards before install. It's a water based poly, so it doesn't yellow the same, looks pretty natural, a bit more pricey though.
Trim boards are too wide, rip them Down to 3/4 x 3/4, this way the trim will bend in and out following the walls and eliminate all gaps. It will also look much more neater and professional. Good Job 👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
Yeah that would help them bend more for sure. Thanks!
It's a style choice. It's growing on me to tell you the truth.
What size nails are you using and are you nailing the face of the board ? I did a room and my ceiling started pulling away from the joist a couple year later. I’m going to redo my whole ceiling again. I don’t know if it was the cold in the winter and the heat of the summer or the size nails I used? I’m still a little bit puzzled. Yours look great!
2 inch finishing nails. He mostly nailed into the tongue at an angle and only did the face on the boards on the bottom and the center.
Colorado Mountain Living Thank you so much. I have pulled the old ceiling down and in the process of putting it back together.
Nice job.
Just a few questions:
How wide are the boards? 6”?
Did you sand the boards before coating?
And how many coats did you use? Just one?
Thank you
Oh you are testing my memory on this one. Yes a light pre-sanding and 1 coat of water based poly I believe.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving thank you
Do you remember the width of the boards?
Bryan says 'What Knot To Do' - Naughty Pine!
LOL!!!!
That turned out awesome guys, How tall is your ceiling? I am about to do the same thing on my patio cover.
Thanks! About 16 ft at the peak.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving Thats awesome we just started one this weekend and It was quite a task. Only half way done and need to order more wood. I will also need trim on top due to last boards having gaps due to bowing and ripping the board.
Looks nice. What size nails did you use?
2 inch
I can't find your video for the cedar closet .
czcams.com/video/ycgRZTUC0xU/video.html
Did you get any buckling issues with the change of seasons with really tight gaps?
The opposite. because Colorado is extremely, we tend to get more shrinkage of wood installed, not buckling. So far no major gaps on the ceiling; but other areas of the house (some wood paneled accent walls and floorboards have more gap issues. ).
Where did you purchase the tongue and groove pine boards? Are they specifically interior grade?
Purchased at a local lumber supply company. Not sure that they are specified "interior grade" but they aren't for siding.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving I am in the market for some, here in Pine Co., at Moore Lumber they only have the siding. Do you have the name of company? I am at 285 and Pine Valley? Thanks!
Looks very nice and very pricey
Thanks!
@@ColoradoMountainLiving welcome, nice job! I need to close on rafters on 12' Apex ceiling on my screened porch, approximately 10 X 20. Thinking of using Beadboard being lightweight and I can get 4x8 sheets , maybe some dampness but no direct weather, I like the idea you are using with Boards also, so I'm kinda looking at ideas.
Between the foam and the abscence of drywall, it seems like fire is a serious concern.
There's drywall on the walls...we also have a metal roof which reduces fire danger from the roof.
Looks nice! How long are the boards? Did you stagger them as you moved up the ceiling? Just wondering if staggering is necessary?
Nope. no need to stagger. The boards were 12 ft i believe.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving Thanks so much. One more question: What gauge brad nails did you use? 15? 16? 18?
Thanks so much for the tip on the vise grips! I'm finding that they also help to hold a board in place while I knock the tongue into the groove. I'm putting up 12 footers by myself and am thinking two of them might be even better!
Just finished putting up my T&G ceiling - 24ft x 12ft ceiling. I staggered all the cuts and used 16 ga nails. I wish I could post a pic here - it looks awesome! Since I did this all by myself the vise clamps were a huge help - thanks again for the tip!
How do you make sure the first board is straight?
Use a level.
Hi what size nail are you using?
in the video description
What type of nailer and nails?
finish nailer. 1 3/4 inch
What size nail gun
The nails are 1 1/4 inch, not sure the 'size' of the gun though.
Is that a 15 gauge nail gun ?
yes
i have an o;lder home that i've already sheet rocked ....now i'm tearing it all out and doing the tongue and groove .....
tongue and groove has such a nice look and fairly easy to install.
Glad to see you're not ace nailing the boards up. All except the first board. I want to avoid all face nailing because I wont be placing trim over the wall to ceiling transition. Securing the groove edge on the first board is still trial and error
exactly!
Better if yous had staging
Yes it would!
Painful to watch you work Without a scaffold ! Still, turned out nice !!
Thanks. Next time, we can borrow our neighbors!
@@ColoradoMountainLiving I used some of what I learned on a T & G ceiling job last weekend. It turned out beautifully. Thanks for the teach !!
Leaking air hose... aarrgggg
Exactly!!!
probably should invest in a plank,
cool
Man I bet your legs were DONE!
pretty much!
OK I can't hear your tips and tricks you're talking to the camera person so muffled and not to the audiencei id like to learn how to install this you don't talk about the process before you put the pine tongue and groove,there is a process before you install those tongue and groove right like the runners how are you installing those did you snap a chalk line where the joists run and then put the runners on I'm tired of these videos they only show the beauty of the tongue and groove and not the before process
We are a youtube channel that focuses on tell the story of how we build our house. You could look up some other channels that specialize in "How To" videos. Sorry this is not one of those; but instead tells how Bryan did a few things different that worked for him.
