this is a huge help!! haha planning on doing this in my living room.

[@kennylc2193]

Great job. I am planning on something like this in our downstairs bathroom. It's the wall where the sink is... probably no more than a 4x6 area but it will really make the entire bathroom pop

You've just nailed a bunch of planks to a wall, haha. Well done on 4k watch time!

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

There's a little more to it than that, but in general yes. Cheers!

[@fusgersnabble224]

should nail it so when you want to change it out you don't destroy the sheet rock pulling it off...

[@johnpalermo2422]

Am currently doing a full gut renovation in my apt been debating whether to do the wood as an accent or standard paint. After watching this DEF going with the WOOD accent wall! Cheers mate

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

John Palermo glad it inspired you! Good luck on the project and thanks for watching!

[@Cragun.]

Looks good. I'm planning a wall now, but I'm wondering if I should paint the wall first ... can you see any of the light colored wall between the plank gaps?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

If your wall color is drastically different than the boards you are putting up, I would paint it. There are a few spots here and there where the wall peeks through.

[@DarkV2.]

I’m probably going to do this but do you need to re paint the walls?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

It depends on the color of your walls before and the contrast with the wood choice you are putting up. If there is much difference between the two, you might want to paint.

[@zfxman02]

Excellent job. If I may ask, is there a reason why you used liquid nails and nail gun?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Just extra holding power.

[@19woodworks]

I love walls covered with wood. It’s just a very nice look. Great job! That must’ve take a long while, but totally worth it. Haha.

[@sairumkhan1234]

Looks great! Can the dry wall tear cause of all the weight to it?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Unlikely since there are brad nails into the studs too. Thanks for watching!

[@kevinquinn8360]

I would have kept the top row of boards full size and started at the top and worked my way down and if you had to rip boards i'd rip the bottom boards. The top boards are most visible while the boards just above the baseboard will hardly have anyone noticing. I say this based on experience.

[@jamiemecca2947]

what is the thickness of your baseboard? does it sit flush with the weatherboard? exceed the thickness of the weatherboard? or does the weatherboard exceed the thickness of the baseboard?

[@venusalicea764]

How many pieces did you need and how Much was the cost in total to put it up? It looks amazing by the way

[@bookerschwartz9009]

[@amirulislam9087]

Can i use any adhesive without drilling the wall?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

You could nail it without glue but I don’t know if I would glue without nails. The glue takes some time to set.

[@gudzik55]

I have a question about leveler. The first think to do is use leveler, what if it is not leveled, what to do? Another question is why mark the wall studs? I did not see what you did with those mark. The reason I asked, I have thin metal studs in my apartment ans they are useless.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

@Topa P I think you are referring to when I used the level to make the first row level? You want to make the boards level with the earth, even if the room isn't. If your room is not level, and it is off by a lot you can cut a smaller piece to fit the side that needs the extra wood. I marked the studs because when I used the brad nails through the boards I wanted them to hit the studs. If you have metal studs you might be able to get away with only using glue and no brad nails, just keep in mind that if you want to remove it in the future it will ruin the drywall. Good luck. Thanks for watching!

[@EnjoyCalculus]

Is painting before installation required?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Not always. If you have an existing wall color that is not at all similar to the wood you are using, you probably should. If the existing paint is similar though, you don't need to.

[@EnjoyCalculus]

@@CCSandSonsWorkshop gotcha. Thanks for the response

[@MTHADON]

Why check if it's level? If its not and you adjust it, won't you have gaps?

[@codygorman691]

I would have started at the top vs the bottom. You wouldn't notice the boards being ripped to accommodate the size difference at the top so much if it were lower and easier to hide.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

It isn’t noticeable. Thanks for watching.

[@SoWeBoughtaHouse]

Your wall looks great! I used the same boards from Weaber and had the same issue with some boards not being to size and throwing things off.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

@So We Bought a House - Thanks! How did your project turn out? Thanks for watching!

[@SoWeBoughtaHouse]

​@@CCSandSonsWorkshop It turned out really well. I painted the wall behind the boards a similar tone so the gaps didn;'t stand out as much. Here are some photos. instagram.com/p/B05tzuBBzTc/?

[@tomjacobson698]

Your outlet covers magically attached themselves to the boards. I was hoping to see the way you lined up the outlets - did you remove the boxes and reattach them to the wood? It looks like you had wires hanging out at one point in the video but didn't cover the process of extending them out to meet the new wall.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

+Tom Jacobson sorry I didn’t cover that. Yes I extended the outlets out to be flush with the new wall and reattached the face plate to the wood.

[@hansen4j]

@@CCSandSonsWorkshop agree I have been trying to find videos more specifically showing the cutouts on how people are doing their cutouts since everyone's outlets can fall differently to where the boards land.

[@kassyfit]

Can you still hang things on that wall ??

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Sure can, that was part of the reason I used liquid nails behind the boards. Thanks for watching!

[@MAZINKAIFER]

why the liquid nails if you are using brad nails?

[@rsimpkins2g]

What was the total project cost?

[@NicKVenTs]

How necessary is the liquid nail? The idea of using that heavy of an adhesive makes me nervous for myself or someone else that’d want the option to safely remove the boards without destroying the wall

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

@NickVenTs It isn't required. You can do it with just the brad nails, but make sure you hit the studs. I wanted the extra strength as I was going to be hanging things on the wood and I wasn't worried about removing it. Thanks for watching!

[@BigChutes]

The adhesive adds an element of almost necessary structural stability, but in the video they used way too much. Just a few dollops here n' there would be sufficient.

[@nadinerelihan807]

Do I need to use the nails if I have the adhesive?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

No. It’s optional.

[@andysmith8031]

I don’t have studs as it’s not a stud wall. Going into breeze block? Nails, screw?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

@Andy Smith I would use masonry screws and construction adhesive in your case I suppose. Thanks for watching!

[@caseyrogers9252]

Did you not worry about the end of your boards landing evenly on a stud when butting up together?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

+Casey Rogers no I didn’t worry about that. The combo of glue and nails on the studs was plenty strong. Thanks for watching!

[@johncaputo205]

Where did you buy these?

@@CCSandSonsWorkshop thank you 👍

[@ginoasci]

Looks great. I'm installing that same product today, and i expect that level has nothing to do with it, it's important to keep them staight as long as they are all exactly the same width. I am not gluing them.

[@KivelRecords]

What color was those wall boards?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Nantucket Grey - Thanks for watching!

[@Pepe-bu2ho]

Why do you have to paint the wall first?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

You don't have to, but I wanted to make sure if the color peaked through any of the cracks/gaps that it was the color I wanted.

[@manningchiro]

Really nice look :) Thinking you may have used 100X more Liquid Nails than necessary.. but at least you know it's solid!

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Probably true, but I tend to do things a bit overkill. Thanks for watching!

[@kevinquinn8360]

@@CCSandSonsWorkshop My only issue with the liquid nails is that I hope you love that wood wall so much that you're never going to tire of it. I did a multi colored wood plank wall in my family room but only used nail as at some point in the future we may decide we don't like that look anymore and I don't want to have to completely destroy the wall removing the wood planks. Not sure how that will work with your glued planks.

[@codymacaulay1435]

Why use liquid nails? Isn’t that a bit overkill?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Thanks for watching! I wanted to be able to hang things on the wood wall after the fact and didn't want to rely only on the brad nails. You probably could use just brad nails if you didn't need the extra strength.

[@codymacaulay1435]

CCS and Sons Workshop that makes sense!

[@andrewfernandez7652]

I was thinking the same thing. Looks good.

[@gtberg]

If you are nailing it to the wall, you really don't need liquid nails to hold it. The day you try to take that off the wall in several years, you will have to completely replace all the sheetrock. AND you should start from the middle of the wall, not the floor. I'm amazed you kept it level to the ceiling.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

@gtberg Thanks for taking the time to comment. I wanted to be able to hang things on the wall without worrying that the brad nails might pull out, thus the use of liquid nails. We won't be taking it down anytime soon.

[@tmsnohio]

So, now that you have liquid nailed each board to your wall, in 10 years when this look isn't what you want anymore how do you get the boards off your wall without destroying the wall?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

I’ll build a new house around it.

[@81artmonk]

Everyone I've seen do this places it directly onto the wall. I assume that no one uses 1/4 planking on the wall otherwise if you want to remove the feature you end up destroying the wall and having to re-drywall it instead of just patching and paint.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

These were placed directly on the wall.

[@thediydad9038]

Nice!

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Thanks!

[@jaxx-_-123]

Looks great but holy moly that was a lot of adhesive! 😳 Next time you want to change that look you will have to scrap that down to the studs and drywall again. 😜

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

That's the idea! Thanks for watching!

[@ashleylangworthy1711]

What was the color of the paint you used, it compliments the wood wall well and I can’t decide on a color for my baby’s room but definitely doing a wood accent wall. Thank you !

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

@Ashley Langworthy I don't have the exact name any more but it was a very light grey from Sherwin Williams in semi-gloss. Thanks for watching!

[@TracyClifford]

Kind of looks like Functional Grey or Exquisite Grey from Sherwin Williams. Hopefully by now though you’ve decided on a color. 😊

[@jons858]

Awesome! What length brad nail did you use?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

18 guage 1-3/4" brad nails. Thanks for watching!

[@fupa74]

Are you required to leave a gap at the corners for expansion and contraction? WE are doing same wall different color next week.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

@fupa74 I didn't leave any gap and haven't had any issues. Being that it installed inside the house and we live in a pretty dry climate I didn't expect any expansion/contraction issues. If you live in an area that does experience high humidity you might leave a slight gap. Thanks for watching!

If you have an old house, you don't want things level, you want them square (inline with the structure). As old houses may not be level themselves, using a level can make the end result look crooked.
