Looks good, Are you going with a solid color or a stain? When I used that for a smaller project the boards shrunk a little and showed natural wood at the joints, very thin line though, and if stained like i am sure alot of woods it will darken over time so maybe go with a little lighter tint than what you want. Having mentioned this you will probably post pics in a couple minutes of the walls finished /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

We are gonig to paint it. We started that, I will get a pic up as soon as i can. We did use 2 coats of Kiltz Primer though to stop the blead through. Part of the wall has been up & painted for 6 months & no blead through yet so, I will keep my finger crossed.

we are gong to have a wood floor (cedar planks 12 X 20"-24") wood ciling - would be way to much wood look

Plus the different wood colors. Seems that the pine might yellow out differently than the cedar.

I used the bead board for my bedrooms. The half height wainscoting(SP).

I prestained on the garage floor to prevent the shrinkage causing unstained areas to show up. After about a million nails from the little brad gun it was up.

Holzster, in your first picture, is there a ghost in the doorway? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif The work looks great! We did a beadboard ceiling. (See CBN.) What a pain.
It wasn't this project where you put the nail through you hand, was it?

I'm like slowzuki. Seems like a crime to paint that and ruin it's beautiful natural appearance. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
