Wow Drew that ceiling is exceptional! Honestly every single renovation just keeps getting better and better. You truly have an eye for design that is unique to what anyone else on KZbin is doing.

[@annawulf4910]

I bought this nail gun as we were planning to renew all the fencing in our back garden. As this involved 19 double slatted fence panels, 10 of which needed to be cut down in size, we knew there would be a need for a great kzbin.infoUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt deal of re-stapling the wooden slats to the wooden framework. Each alteration required the re-stapling of 62 wooden slats with double staples. Prior to starting the work we ordered sufficient additional staples as per the instructions with the gun.The gun performed fantastically throughout the entire project with no jams of misfires. The adjustable power was excellent allowing the staples to be fired into the 8mm slats to the correct depth. For the price paid this was a bargain and it proved itself to be so reliable and versatile making an arduous task much quicker and professional. I cannot recommend this product highly enough and it will be used on many other projects in the future.

[@rebeccaude4412]

Drew! You should always apply a conditioner to new & even stripped lumber before staining to obtain an accurate color & non-splotchy finish! Just a tip for future staining projects but I can’t wait to see how you complete this space 💜.

[@whiterock2815]

I was coming to the comments to say the same thing. Pre-stain wood conditioner is great for woods like pine!

[@tracygarrett3952]

I remember MaCenna using it.

[@beebeeisland]

I’ve used this method. 1. Sand down with 120 grit sandpaper 2. Vacuum the wood 3. Apply water so the wood is evenly soaked. Wait until the wood feels pretty dry to the touch. 4. Apply stain. Within 30 minutes apply second layer of stain. 5. Wipe away excess. Wait 24 hours. 6. Polish with black foam sanding block 7. Apply two thin layers of stain again and wipe excess away. Best method imo

The ceiling looks awesome - like it was a part of the original home. Also, can I say once again how blessed you are to have Justin. Even if you are paying him, you are still blessed. His commitment and work ethic sets a high standard. It's relationship "goal".

[@annseabolt6645]

The ceiling is fabulous. It looks like it should have always been that way. The stain is such a great match to the original beams. Your home is beautiful. You are doing an excellent job with your remodeling.

[@lonefox]

Thank you!!! I appreciate you following along 🤎

[@sjsmith9637]

I love that in a world of modern farmhouse you're actually making Spanish/Old Holywood work. Its not easy but it respects the home's design so much more.

[@ReadAndThrift]

Yes! Less modern farmhouse more this!

[@conniesisco6468]

I’m typically not a fan of coffered ceilings because they feel so busy to me. But DAMN. You made a believer out of me. Absolutely stunning. A professional couldn’t have achieved a better look.

[@ecaryn.]

That looks fabulous! You've done a great job! If you, or anyone else, plan to replicate this ceiling anywhere else, then you'll want to stain the wood pieces BEFORE you hang them. Much easier when you do as little overhead work as possible. Most all soft wood species will blotch, that can be reduced greatly by applying a prestain conditioner, either a purchased or homemade version can work well. Gel stains can have a less dramatic impact with a prestain conditioner but it can still help. Can't wait to see what's next for you!

[@94rome]

I was going to comment the same! I don’t understand why he doesn’t do it this way! Drewwwwww explain! 😂 we need answers!

[@tinasachs8688]

@@94rome I was also thinking the same about staining it after installing. My dad would've probably said his standart "Why do it the easy way, when complicated is so much more fun" 😆 It however looks absolutely amazing!

[@rsmith1820]

I'm sure it was because this was a was a new design venture, he was excited & that's how you learn... Even down to inserting screws, nails etc at an angle to ward off gravity, someone (probably several someones) had to have done it incorrectly the 1st time - then Never made that error again.

[@Ehleezah]

Maybe he was worried about matching the stain to the wood filler in the pocket holes

[@sknap2728]

I just love the ceiling. To save my back, I probably would have sanded the cut edges and prestained before hanging, but to each his own. Agree on the conditioner...something i learned from reading these comments.

[@MizJilly]

That is insane!! You would have paid a carpenter a small fortune to do that work. Beautiful job as always!! This house is SO special!

[@rebeccaacklin3444]

Thank you, I miss your videos. I'm the senior Susan lady here a lot of us are seniors anyway. I enjoy watching your video, especially your decorations

[@anthonymauceri1391]

Drew, there is also a wood conditioner that you can apply prior to staining. It prepares the wood to receive stain, and you will get no blotches and not have to use extra product👍 Great job of course! Looks awesome! 🙂

[@sage6935]

I'm getting major hobbit hole vibes and I am in loove with it!!!!

[@erin.carol333]

I love how well and naturally you and Justin work together! It's hard to let people in on projects and properly work as a team and you all do it beautifully

[@lauriehuttunen4202]

It looks great! If you ever do another one, save yourself some neck and back strain by staining the wood slats before mounting them to the ceiling.

[@JessicaA]

Honey YES. I was cringing the whole time watching it go up, knowing how much it sucks to paint or stain over your head. Plus then it wouldn’t get on the walls. Looks cute tho! ❤

[@lyndioli]

Just adding the first set of beams was cool, that alone would have been great, but then filling them in with the wooden slats was Awesome! Your ceiling is beautiful ❤️

[@chrisonthiaallthingsglam6624]

I thought so too!

[@julielinger4470]

You and Justin did an amazing job on the ceiling.your home is better and better with each new room! I could see many posh parties there🎉

[@reddog40]

This looks absolutely beautiful every detail really has made your home extra special.Just a tip on wood before staining you should apply a conditioner or even use a wet cloth and rub it on the wood to"open the pours up" it helps take the stain better to the wood and stain it before hanging that way your coats would come out more uniformed.And less strain on the body!

That ceiling is gorgeous! I love what you are doing with your place…making it so warm and inviting. Keep up the good work and keep cranking out the videos!!

[@michelez715]

What's impressive is a) that you have such wonderful, and often quite offbeat ideas and b) that you have the technical knowhow and expertise to carry out your ideas and c) that if something doesn't turn out how you envisaged it, you don't moan and groan about it, but just find a new solution, and get on with it. Three qualities essential for a designer, imo, plus patience to wait for the right thing, be it a paint colour or a coffee table rather than compromise on something not exactly 100% what you had in mind. And I love your fearless mixing and matching of different styles and different eras, because you have that instinct (which can't be learnt, but is inborn) of what will go together. No doubt in my mind, Drew, that you are going to be a very influential designer, because of your inimitable style.

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

Like you, I absolutely *adore* a coffered ceiling! You are lucky to have a period home where a coffered ceiling looks so appropriate. You and Justin did such an amazing job on this project, the color match is dead on, and the entire ceiling actually looks original to the house. Bravo both of you! I'm wondering if putting wood conditioner on the boards before installing them would've helped the stain apply better? Ultimately it doesn't matter here, but may be something to think about for future in case you don't get so lucky that the stain is a dead ringer for the original. I was holding my breath watching you stain the ceiling and getting color on your freshly painted walls, maybe putting up plastic sheeting on the walls would've saved a repaint of the room? I'm just thinking of the time and labor savings, as well as the pain to one's spine, but you are young and it seems able to double up on work without it adversely affecting you, so good on you! This is such a satisfying result, love watching your videos so much! Also, whatever you pay Justin, it's not enough, that man seems as invested in your projects as you are. What a great friend!

[@cecenelson2194]

Absolutely stunning . I have a very similar type of ceiling application ( which was professionally done .) It was so expensive . You have hit this one out of the ballpark . So much talent !

[@calgram]

Wow! The ceiling came out beautiful!!!! One thing I learned long ago is: paint all your components on the ground when they're cut to size and ready to mount. It's easier on the neck and back, AND you don't get paint/stain spatter all over your walls. Saves a lot of fix-it work that way. Plus the time from assembly/attachment to ceiling to finish of project is so short, it feels like you sidestepped 'delayed gratification', haha! But lovely job, boys, as usual.
