Answers: How do you install finished shiplap paneling over drywall and wood framing?

• Shiplap installation over drywall and framing
• Measuring and cutting finished carpentry boards with miter saw
• Installing corner trim and baseboards
• Nailing tongue and groove wood paneling
• Caulking and finishing gaps in wood paneling

What it concludes

• Keeping the shiplap boards back to the back edge of the drywall allows for a cleaner tie-in of the trim.
• Starting with square cutting one end and butting it up against the saw stop after flipping the end up ensures a consistent length cut every time.
• Laying out offcuts against the wall helps ensure you wind up with decently sized pieces on the ends instead of tiny filler strips.
• Easing the edges of cuts where they butt up against the ceiling allows the wood to accept paint better.
• Plumbing the first piece of shiplap really well and periodically checking it along the way prevents the boards from wandering out of plumb.
