CUSTOM Shiplap Wall | Faux Shiplap vs. Real Shiplap | Bathroom Update

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Soooo...we are expecting our first Granddaughter 😍. She needs shiplap too, right? Check it out here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZrbfZ-YfL6cq6c

Omg congratulations 👏💖

[@jameycollins725]

Looks awesome! White shiplap will never go out of style!

[@shannong2703]

Wow that’s Awesome!!! Thanks for teaching me a better way!! I bet your daughter is extremely happy now!! Great job Dad!!!

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Thank you very much. My girls did love the bathroom, but it made my wife happier (the bathroom looked terrible). Thanks for watching!

[@cherie1651]

LOOKS REALLY NICE!!!

[@seventwenty4569]

Wow, you have straight walls. In my bathroom the distance from wall to wall vary a lot. Excellent job!

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

They all vary quite a bit…you can use trim at either side to make up for walls that are not exactly straight. In my other video where I put shiplap in my granddaughter’s nursery, I use a cove molding to trim out the ends

[@seventwenty4569]

Thank you! This video is exactly what I was looking for!! 😊

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Awesome! Glad it helped.

[@ChocolateJewels]

This was lovely. Thanks for sharing.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Absolutely! Thank you for watching.

[@matthewwysocki5019]

Nice job! Thanks for the tip

[@0RabidRabbit]

Very nice! I live in a 100 year old house with cracked and wavy plaster walls and I think this would be a hell of an upgrade while avoiding with most of the plaster issues.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

I’m sure it will help in some areas. Just remember a bad base (wavy walls) could easily translate through this thin veneer

[@realtyrocks1969]

You should have mixed up the cuts so the lines of the boards didn't match up. Looks like a piece of plywood glued to the wall. In fact they make paneling that looks just like that. Looks nothing like shiplap.

[@mjo326]

Thanks for sharing - great job!

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Thank you for watching.

[@debraford213]

We bought a 1924 house that had thick 70s paneling on the walls . I ripped it off and cut my shiplap out of that paneling. It turned out looking really good and no cost to me.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

That it’s a great way to save. I bet it turned out awesome

[@debraford213]

@@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO it did. My husband asked where I learned to do alot of stuff he had no idea I knew how to do, lol I said I learned it from Tony and now he watches you.

Beautiful!!!!

[@PinkDiamonds977]

Your project looks awesome! Can I use shiplap with MDF melamine? That white coating?

[@nzazzara3111]

Gorgeous

Awe…I’m blushing 😂😂. Jk. Thanks for watching

[@Dee_Yamel]

Great job. Thank you!

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Thank you for watching. Do you have a shiplap project in the near future?

[@Dee_Yamel]

I’m thinking about it. ☺️

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

@@Dee_Yamel well, good luck with the project.

[@nicolawythe6214]

Love the bathroom

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Thank you

[@johnp1839]

What is the added benefit of using the construction adhesive backing on the boards?

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

In the bathroom (high humidity area) it helps keep the wood from moving. In my granddaughter’s room I didn’t use it.

[@mikejrodriguez56]

Hey brotha! I just subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos. I am looking to add some ship Lap to our house as well but I do have to say that I absolutely love your Shelf above your toilet. Do you know where you purchased that from? Once again, great video Tony and awesome that your wife is your helper. :) Cheers!

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Hey thanks for watching and subscribing! So, my wife bought the shelf at Kirklands. My wife is truly my better half and more than just a helper... she keeps me in line.

[@RowenMyBoat]

What is the best choice of planks to prevent any warping?

[@Mollyjak4]

Love this! Can you tell me where you got your mirror, shelves, lights, faucets, etc and vanity?

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Thank you. The mirror came from Hobby Lobby, the shelf from Kirklands, the faucet vanity top from Home Depot and the light from either Home Depot or Lowe’s.

[@Mollyjak4]

Thank you!!!

[@youknow1334]

What do you think about PVC shiplap considering lumber prices right now are through the roof

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

🤔 that’s a thought... stay tuned, I’m working on a new video, with more shiplap.

[@CardiacCat]

Awesome job. Looks fantastic. I'm going to try this. Been looking at shiplap and it's expensive. I don't care what's on there as long as the look is the same. And let's be honest, shiplap should look a bit rustic anyway so who cares if it's a perfect board from the box store?

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

I’m telling you, I’ve got both. And not once has someone anything about any differences. If they don’t like it, they can pay for the next room 😂

[@CardiacCat]

@@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO What do you think about using 1970's style wood sheet paneling flipped over and ripped into 6" sheets? I got an older farmhouse home that I'm going to be doing some reno in. Someone put a lot of paneling in there back in the 70's. It's gotta come out but I'm hoping I can flip it over and rip it to use if it's thick enough.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

@@CardiacCat I wouldn’t personally. It is super thin and brittle and I don’t think would be enough of a profile. I actually ripped out a whole room of paneling (that someone took the time to tape and mud to fake it being drywall) to put up the real stuff. I don’t like how paneling ends up looking

[@CardiacCat]

@@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO Yeah, I thought it might be. Well, it'll just get ripped out. Thanks for the input.

[@cheries5040]

Since it’s been up for awhile, how well has it held up with the shower? I want to do our bathroom & worry about how damp it gets in there with no exhaust fan.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

It’s still holding up really well. Think about it though…once you paint it with latex paint it’s no different than the drywall. I do however, suggest that you invest on a bath fan to help.

[@edk6718]

Love this job, love the shelf over the toilet where did you get that.

[@tiffanyp8002]

He said Kirklands in another comment. I’ve seen them at hobby lobby too.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Yes my wife ordered this particular shelf from Kirklands

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

That is right.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

What do you think 🤔 is shiplap a passing fad, or a must have?

[@earnesthines6604]

Ingenious! I love your projects and instruction.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Earnest Hines, that is so nice of you to say! I appreciate you watching.

[@joelferguson4089]

No one walking into that bathroom will know it's plywood! Shiplap is always going to be nicer than sheetrock. Especially since you don't have to mud your corner's!

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

@@joelferguson4089 exactly!

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

@Henriette Jeffris awesome!!

[@LLWW]

I have some imperfections on my wall around the light fixture. Do you think the unevenness would show in the small gaps?

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

The shiplap will hide many imperfections. The gap is so small usually imperfections are never seen

[@LLWW]

@@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO Thank you so much for the info and responding!

[@kimkik5068]

With this being a bathroom, do you have to worry about extra moisture?

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Moisture is a concern in any bathroom. But shiplap is no different than drywall. The paint acts as a barrier to keep out the moisture. To help ensure you seal the wood well, you can pre-paint the shiplap then install.

[@ladypeach4118]

New sub great job

[@rsproductions994]

Turned out good and might as well just change that toilet out lol. I think shiplapping will be around for a long time as long as people stop doing entire house with it lom

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Ryan, we actually did change the toilet too. The old toilet was short so we went with the chair height elongated bowl. I think you are right, shiplap is here for a while.

[@lauratinoco8414]

Should I paint ship lap

[@andynichols213]

Come on ta my house. This is awesome!

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

It really is an easy way to get the same look 👀

[@Tropigal05]

I heard you shouldn’t use MDF shiplap boards in a bathroom.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

These are not MDF. However, I know first hand that many homes are being built with mdf trim throughout the entire home and including bathrooms. Personally I wouldn’t use mdf shiplap.

[@Blitzorgo]

At $6.50 a board at HD my takeaway is to just buy 10 real boards and avoid the hassle of gap measuring , cutting , priming etc. where you getting a 1k difference from?

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

The (primed) 5.25” x 12’ shiplap sold at Home Depot works out to .87 per linear ft. To do a bathroom 8’x8’ would cost approx. $128 just in shiplap. 1x6x8 cost approx $147 to do the same bathroom 1/4” 4x8 sanded ply cost approx $65 Now, I know you’ve got to put in a few other things to get to the finished product including time... My way is not the only way...but it gave me great footage for a video and shows others how to do it a different way and to save some money. I was referencing 1k difference from when I did my living room at almost 500 linear ft at approx $1.77 per lf. Thanks for the feedback

[@jamestapp5545]

You never want to buy shiplap at Home Depot, go to your local lumber yard they sell 10 times the amount, and at a much better price.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

I’ve never purchased actual shiplap from Home Depot. However, I’ve found the pricing at the local places (at least around here) are still expensive.

[@chrisrasco6861]

Good video. Your voiceover was hard to hear over the saw and sander noise

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll definitely work on it

[@Bkeen874]

this guy makes me nervous with his hand so close to saw blade on that table saw. please use a guide if you are doing this, one slip and your banjo playing career is over,

[@TankToChest]

The point of shiplap is to say ohhhh look at my real expensive shiplap

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

I guess. Now people look at my fake shiplap and can’t tell the difference (I’m sure shiplap snobs can, but I digress)
