You did a lovely job with the ceiling. Perhaps getting different lighting may truly emphasize your upgrade. Maybe some panel lighting may be worth exploring.
Thank you. I am finishing off our attic in our 1880 house. I was looking for an inexpensive option to cover the ceiling and this looks awesome. Hopefully mine comes out as good as yours.
I went to my local Home Depot and found a sheet of this stuff on clearance in the back. They spray a purple splotch on it and mark it down to final. That being said, IT STILL COST ME 10 bucks! In other words, prices have tripled thanks to the whirlwind mess of various situations affecting known as 2020. Other than that, thank you so much for posting this and I am a new subscriber to your great content.
Love this video - gave me the inspiration for what I want to do in my kitchen in New Zealand. The thinnest non-structural ply sheets I can get here are 7mm (or about 1/4 inch, I think, if I've got my conversions right - 2.8" approx). I'm not going to be putting this up on an existing ceiling, since that is water damaged and buckled Pinex soft pressed board popular in the 60s and I'm pulling it down. (It's also an uninsulated space tight to the tin roof, so this will also give me the chance to put in some foam sheet insulation as well as finally being able to run an electric wire to the outside back deck - the space was too narrow to have done it any other way). It's also necessary if I'm staggering the lapping boards to put in some spacers between the joists. So my question is, brad nailer or finish nailer? I've never taken on a project this ambitious and never used a nail gun in my life...
Thanks for the video! Hoping I can do this sometime soon to the back apartment (my brothers painted the ceiling black and I really don’t want to have to paint the entire ceiling over again.
Inexpensive does not always mean cheap looking. Expensive and more labor demanding job could still come out less satisfactory if lacking a certain touch of character........Good job !
Hello, if a person wanted to use a thin material like this over top of a plaster swirl ceiling, would you say it would work for that? If some of the spikes came down uneven?
I have vaulted ceilings & am planning on adding insulation. Now I'm looking for inexpensive ideas to cover the insulation. There are roof support beams about 24" (estimate) apart for which I will add the insulation in between. I like your idea but obviously need to add?? Lightweight drywall or any other stand alone (without adding shiplap look) ceiling cover. Any ideas?
My walls came out good I'm gonna try and install over popcorn ceiling I my glue and nail I got it cut at home depot the last time and I bought a table saw it's been collecting dust I hope it will work gotta watch a video on how to use it lol now how did you figure out which direction to start I have a vent and light got my work cut out
It depends what look you want. I might be installing it on a ceiling with a wood beam, but I want to install the shiplap around the beam and then paint everything white with a sprayer (i.e. don't shiplap the beam, but just paint it). See example photos online. "Shiplap ceiling with beams"
Thank you enjoyed video. can you tell what type of work and measurements also where did you purchase material? I am remodeling kitchen/den and do not want to scrap off popcorn ceiling.
Question, so you just stapled it into the drywall? I have a popcorn ceiling I'd like to cover and like your idea of using very thin plywood but I'm wondering if you think just stapling it up with some glue will hold it? Thanks
I did something similar to what's shown in this video, but I scrapped off the popcorn from the ceiling first so that the wood fit flat on to the ceiling drywall and through to the studs. If you leave the popcorn it'll eventually compress and the nails will start to come loose and/or the wood strips will sag. Popcorn removal doesn't have to be fancy, just wet it down (hopefully its not painted! and use a garden spray bottle to wet it), let it sit for 10 minutes while the water soaks in and loosens it, then scrap with a wide trowel. No need to refinish it with skimcoat and sanding (ugh!) if its going to be covered. Glue will also help hold the new ceiling up. Cheers.
It may show a wavy look depending on the amount of popcorn. If you used a thicker material it would work. But with wood prices I would say scratch the popcorn off a bit
Hello, Can this process be used on an Accent Wall; and is it okay to use a thicker material, more wood like? Thank you for your reply Sherry from Carolina
Absolutely you can do this over it. You just want to use a little more of the adhesive and a few more Staples here and there..If the popcorn is rather huge...Worst case.. you can remove a little of the popcorns, I have a friend that has a great video on how to do that.. just let me know!
@@burnsmycookies Use a stud finder to find where the joists are, mark them with chalk lines, and put in some furring strips. Then you know you'll be hitting something when you put the planks up. We're doing something similar to cover a popcorn ceiling right now.
I'm pretty sure that home Depot will cut them for you worst case you could rent a truck from them and then buy a nice inexpensive table saw at a pawn shop maybe

Love your idea! Genius! Thank you!

Did it?
Great job! I love this look and will add your video to my stash of ideas for our upcoming 1971 mobile home remodel.
Great to hear!

Yeah, definitely don't want to buy building materials in 2020/early 21 if you can help it.
Love this!! I was looking for ideas to cover the ugly strips in our 1985 manufactured homes ceiling!! So excited!! Thanks 🙏
So did you actually do this? I have a manufactured home too that has an add on that needs something different on the ceiling.
wow that looks amazing

Great job, I will be following your method to cover up my 1921 cracked plaster ceilings
Very cool! That’s exactly what I did
Could you place this over a popcorn ceiling?
Yes! There is a guy with a RUclips video that I just watched like literally 30 seconds ago lol
Thanks for the video! Hoping I can do this sometime soon to the back apartment (my brothers painted the ceiling black and I really don’t want to have to paint the entire ceiling over again.
Awesome idea
Nicely done!
Thank you sir!
Thinking of taking the kids to the outdoor tomorrow night...you guys going?
Inexpensive does not always mean cheap looking. Expensive and more labor demanding job could still come out less satisfactory if lacking a certain touch of character........Good job !
Great video 💯 I was going to use 5mm. I didn’t know they made 2.5mm.
What if I went with the 1×6×8 board? Could that work?
great vid! We are going to take your idea and apply to our newly renovated kitchen/ceiling. Defintely using the chalk paint...thanks, Bill
Do you have to staple the boards to the ceiling or can you use just the liquid nail?
I like you videos alot but my question is can I do this on popcorn ceiling in my kitchen

Awesome, information!
What exactly is the panel board you used to cut to 7 7/8" widths?
Hey did u nail in the ceiling joists only or did u nail randomly
FABULOUS IDEA! THANK YOU!
Thanks! You are more than welcome!
My walls came out good I'm gonna try and install over popcorn ceiling I my glue and nail I got it cut at home depot the last time and I bought a table saw it's been collecting dust I hope it will work gotta watch a video on how to use it lol now how did you figure out which direction to start I have a vent and light got my work cut out
You got this! 💪🏾
how would you install this on a ceiling with wood beams? Covering the wood beams with shiplap paneling.
It depends what look you want. I might be installing it on a ceiling with a wood beam, but I want to install the shiplap around the beam and then paint everything white with a sprayer (i.e. don't shiplap the beam, but just paint it). See example photos online. "Shiplap ceiling with beams"
Can you nail the shiplap right into the drywall? Does it stick? Or do you need to find the studs to nail in the shiplap boards?
Curious about this too? And would beaded board sheets not work because the slats are not as large as about 8” a board?
😮
How would I do wider area just butt them up to each other?
Do you need some kind of water proofing adhesive using this ship lap method in a bathroom ?
Nice look.

Your awesome !!
Me: you're hella cute.
You: ...?
Me: when did RUclips become tinder?
Love this idea, thank you for sharing
You are so welcome!
Thank you enjoyed video. can you tell what type of work and measurements also where did you purchase material? I am remodeling kitchen/den and do not want to scrap off popcorn ceiling.
Use 3/4 planks. You can see all the waves it the ceiling.
What is general to place alone with window , I have one in my room or across
Place board stripes *
Question, so you just stapled it into the drywall? I have a popcorn ceiling I'd like to cover and like your idea of using very thin plywood but I'm wondering if you think just stapling it up with some glue will hold it? Thanks
I would use liquid nails and the staples. It should hold very well after the liquid nail dries

You stepl on concrete celling?
should i try this over pop corn ceiling or remove it first
It may show a wavy look depending on the amount of popcorn. If you used a thicker material it would work. But with wood prices I would say scratch the popcorn off a bit
Hello,
Can this process be used on an Accent Wall; and is it okay to use a thicker material, more wood like?
Thank you for your reply
Sherry from Carolina
Yes, absolutely. You would just use an appropriate nail gun with longer nails
Can I do this over popcorn ceiling?
What thickness and profucts from home depot did you use?
How can you use this method for a much bigger ceiling???
Just multiply it by 2 or 3!
Can you use this on a covered patio ceiling?
Thanks … I like it…
Why can't I see the description usually a spot to click on to expand it?
Keeping the staple lines straight would be a bit of a chore I’d imagine but other than that this process looks really good.
Do you know if homedepot or Lowe’s can cut into smaller pieces for a small fee?
Both stores will cut for you, as long as their cutting station is not down. Many people use this service from them. I 'm pretty sure it is free.
Paint- amzn.to/3x5xtwu
Narrow crown stapler - amzn.to/2JXyDUf
Portable compressor- amzn.to/2Y9H9EH
Instablaster.
My adventure with woodworking started with Woodglut.
Can this be done over popcorn ceiling ? Or would it make it fall down lol

@@DoingitWithjason I would like a link to that video please. Thinking about doing this over our popcorn ceilings.

i wish i had a truck where i could buy the full panel sheets and i also would need a table saw.
I'm pretty sure that home Depot will cut them for you worst case you could rent a truck from them and then buy a nice inexpensive table saw at a pawn shop maybe
Is this still holding up?
What size staples did
you use? Thanks. Great video.
Thank you! I believe just one inch. The pieces were really thin and I just needed them to stay put until the liquid nail set
I didn’t think you used liquid nails
Your audio is epic!
Thanks my favorite social media 🌟 that means a great deal coming from you!!
Use a roller to paint, goes faster
Nailing some plywood to the ceiling is shiplap?
It's one of many ways I guess that you can do it
Close enough.
I would totally call out the nail holes. Just finish it. The pallet look stinks inside a home
That sheet lumber today 2022 March will cost you $44 each sheet
♥️
looks like the pieces are sagging places no?
Very slightly But mainly, it's just the camera making it look that way. In person, it looks great
That is exactly the first thing I noticed. If they are not sagging now, they definitely will within days.
My husband uses these plans from Stodoys and is very happy with them. However. I love yours!
2023 the price of the same material is 29 dollars....ouch
Looks terrible. Plywood is not shiplap. It may look better in person I’ll give you that but on this video it looks cheap as hell.
Get a life
Disagree.
Great idea! Thank you for sharing.
