DIY Shiplap Wall Installation with NO NAIL HOLES TO FILL

[@adventurefuel5172]

I absolutely love shiplap as an accent. This is just a perfect use IMHO. The nailless look is the way to go. It came out great! Thanks for sharing.

[@CycoWardDrew]

Size is right on and have had no issues in using it for 6 months. Good heat output. Adds warmth to most of the basement. Remote is temperamental but works

[@endqualifiedimmunity8985]

After a long day of my husband doing all the work “the last thing i wanted to do was clean up some dust!” Hahaha what a piece of work

[@jenniferwiilis5267]

She probably made him clean that too haha

JUST a tip...for the jigsaw cut...make two hole diagonally opposite ends..top right and bottom left( incase your wondering lol) then run the jig from one hole making a L or a 7 , you would need to insetrt the jig twice in each hole, whichever you prefer, no need to make the Milkeway galaxy bhahahha...BTW...good job guys also subbed

[@bnieder1]

Really appreciate the video going to start to finish and explaining everything, thank you!

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

You’re welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@siptoolsnlife]

So smart about the nails on the lip of the board!

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thanks!

[@FranksDIY]

Thank you for the trim heads up I bought the foam inner and outer trim.

[@chrisknoblock]

For the future, if you do wood trim and don't want to see the wood grain, you can always prime it with a shellac, hides wood grain great.

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thanks!

[@chrisknoblock]

@@moderngreyfarmhouse anytime, end product still looked great to me, thank you.

[@traceysullivan0819]

Thank you so much for this video. I bought this same shiplap from Home Depot. Very helpful vid. Awesome job!

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thank you very much. Good luck!

[@GuthrieBoys]

Awesome video guys!

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thanks!

[@8Jory]

Since they'll be hidden anyway, broader headed nails or ,even screws, would give better hold to help avoid the bottoms pulling up. Brad nails don't have a lot of holding strength since they're made for trim. They obviously work perfectly fine in this project. It's just that if someone installs this with them it would be best to avoid hanging anything heavy directly on the shiplap. I'm not trying to take away from this project, it's fantastic and looks amazing, I'm just the extra careful type. Cheers!

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Yep I agree. Our brad nailer only takes one size. Hindsight we could have put some nails on the end under the trim. So far so good. We have the TV hung and just mounted the mantle right before Christmas.

[@tcorp5089]

Looks awesome!

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thank you

[@apsvend]

Love this can't wait to see the framing and built for this fireplace🙈👍🏼👍🏿👏🏾

[@shsabres]

Love the look. We have a 55” tv we are mounting. We got a 50” fireplace and a mantel mount tv mount that allows you to lift and raise the tv. We are also going to add a mantel. Love the vid and intend to copy some things.

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Sounds like it’s going to turn out great!

[@shsabres]

@@moderngreyfarmhouse thanks. I hope so!

[@BigTexJD]

Great video y'all!!!!

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Hey thanks!

[@MM-sy8ov]

Looks beautiful, great job…but tbh I’d be so worried using a brad nailer to hold all that up, I’m sure some of those brads are bending as the time goes by, I would really recommend at least a couple 15gage nails in a couple areas on each board. but it looks great 👍🏼

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thanks! We are almost at 2 years and it still looks good. We did put a some screws on the ends where we were able to cover them with the trim.

[@Dmkjr]

Great video. Enjoyed it. We are beginning today with two rather large walls. Wish us luck!

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Good luck! We have since learned that if your walls are crooked you may need to add some brad nails to the front. For this fireplace nothing was crooked since we built the frame ourselves.

[@DavidKornahrens]

All done. Too bad KZbin doesn’t allow photos to be uploaded. I would share.

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

David Kornahrens congrats! I bet it looks great.

[@mikimiki195]

Great video thanks 👍🏻

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

You’re welcome. Thank you!

[@shadie024]

Good video. Thanks for sharing

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thank you for watching.

[@KFB1957]

So what kept the bottom of the boards in place???

[@percyal1]

About as amateur as it gets but still turned out wicked awsome! Just a heads up you could always use liquid nail or another strong adhesive for corner straps if you really want zero nail holes, wouldn't think so but still going strong in a house used 10 years ago!

[@snowwny]

I think without trim on the side, you can lift literally lift the ship lap from the bottom since it is only nailed on the top groove.

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Yes without the trim brad nails would be needed on each end. Still much less to fill than some methods ive seen used.

[@jerrybillings4720]

How are you holding the bottom of the boards? The part that goes over the groove with the nails?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

They are interlocking which allows the bottom to not require any nail only the grooves need to be nailed in. For this particular build we also added baseboard so we could add nails to the very bottom piece. We also trimmed out the sides so we could add nails under those trim pieces also.

[@kyriesen2452]

Have the bottoms of each shiplap popped up or come away from the wall without the bottom of them being nailed?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

No it hasn’t. We do have the bottom nailed at each end since we used trim to cover that area.

[@nunayobiznass]

I would have superglue the trim in place . Nice job

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thank you

[@lanageras]

Your fireplace looks gorgeous!! How many inches did you leave between floor and the fireplace?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thank you. From the floor to the bottom of the fireplace 1 foot

[@Doowtatc]

Did you pre-drill holes in the PVC trim before nailing?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

No just used the brad nailer

[@Queencreekmom70]

Great video, super easy to follow ! You did a really fantastic job with the install looks clean and extremely professional! WTG 👍🏻

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thanks! 👍

[@almaskhan2716]

Hello, thanks for sharing this detailed diy. Planning to make it soon just a silly question the fireplace is in level with the framing wood or is it level with shiplap?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

It’s level with the shiplap

[@dirtbikedepdep4423]

great job, but maybe next time you paint maybe turn off fan close windows till done. can see the plastic covers blowing around.

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

That is the paint sprayer. It puts out air

[@garypollio4960]

where did you put your cable box and how do you access it? Also, how are you going to swap out the electrical connection for the soundbar when you want to upgrade?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

We use a ROKU streaming device. I don't see myself ever going back to something that is not streaming requiring a large box. The ROKU and soundbar are in that black area in the middle. You can make this area as tall or as wide that you'd like it to be for your needs I wanted ours as minimal as possible. The ethernet and power outlets are accessible because we moved them up the wall and they are directly in line with the area of black, you just stick your arm in there to unplug/plugin. The moving of the electrical wasn't included in the video.

[@DuraTex556]

How well does your tv and sound bar hold up when you have your fireplace on?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Everything has held up well, the TV and Soundbar too

[@kandyevans4164]

You did a great job. I’m looking into purchasing a paint sprayer. What brand paint sprayer did you use?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

We bought a Wagner Paint Ready Paint Sprayer. I chose that one because I didnt want to spend a whole lot of money but I didn't want to have to dilute the paint like some sprayers require. I picked it up at Home Depot www.homedepot.com/p/Wagner-HVLP-Paint-Ready-Sprayer-Station-0529017/204218851?mtc=Shopping-B-F_D24-G-D24-Multi-Multi-NA-Feed-SMART-NA-NA-All_Paint_Smart&cm_mmc=Shopping-B-F_D24-G-D24-Multi-Multi-NA-Feed-SMART-NA-NA-All_Paint_Smart-71700000048001153-58700004793621602-92700041080546416&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhITs9LO96wIVFRLnCh10_A-gEAYYASABEgK9B_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@rjthomasindyusa]

Did the ship lap start to cup and pull away from the wall?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Not it’s still in the same shape as when it was first installed.

[@TheNewports]

How did you keep the bottoms stable if you only nailed the top

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

The trim piece on the sides helped. I have an update video if you haven’t seen it that shows they bottoms don’t move.

[@Silentpartner70]

Hello I commented on your other video, Do you have plans I could buy? I love this look! Yes I subscribed!

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Hi! We didn’t put together full plans since so many fireplaces have different specs and different ceiling heights.

[@csouvanna1]

Awesome job. what size tv n fireplace you have there?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thanks! The fireplace itself is 74". The TV is 60". The bump out wall of shiplap is 96"

[@isidorsiskos2598]

So they actually will flop up if you lift up the edge overlapping the lower piece.

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

They do not. The trim piece also aides in keeping them in place. 100% they do not "flop"

[@rafatorres1420rt]

It would be better if you start from the top so you have a whole piece on top and the rip piece hide with the baseboard at the bottom. It looks good though

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

If we had started from the top we couldn’t hide the nail holes and that was main our goal here. We probably could have switched up how it was cut on top or bottom to make it look better

[@donhuffer5167]

How long before the shiplap started curling out on the bottom? There’s no way you can nail this way and keep it in place at the bottom. Unless you used glue.

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

No glue. It’s perfectly fine.

[@andrewstacey315]

Is that the same trim for the sound abr as what it is for the corners?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

It's not the same, if I were to build it over Id use a trim similar to the edge trim which is PVC which has no wood grain exposed like the one i used.

[@WMBLLC]

Does not seem like sufficient nailing. Shiplap requires strength on the groove side. Without nailing it will lift over time. Especially if any moisture, humidity, and rapid climate changes, fireplace, is introduced to that area. Also 18 gauge brad nails do not have the required strength as well. 15 gauge by 2" finish nails are the minimum. I would go back and add nails into all those studs. Fill, sand, prime, and paint.

[@joelockett1428]

Great looking project! What kind of fireplace did you install and where did you research fireplaces?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thanks! This is a Dimplex Excite 74". It looks exactly the same as the Dimplex IgniteXL, the only difference is the warranty period is 1 year vs 5 years on the Ignite. I watched a ton of You Tube videos to decide which fireplace was best. The you tube channel I found to be most helpful was this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZrWYoqrirxonac Once I narrowed down which fireplace I wanted I was able to find the Excite cheaper than the IgniteXL and I was sold.

[@JacksonLewis9947]

Has the shiplap held into place without lifting?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

No issues at all. At 1 year I did an update video showing how it was holding up, up close. Here is a link to that video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKiaYp-XYrCpg9E

[@chikoperiko9]

How does it stay in place without nailing at the bottom of each board... shiplap does not interlock like a tongue and grove..

[@2vibeclub179]

Great wall Why not Just clue the corner 🤔🤔 with PL

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thanks! We were in the mindset that with brad nails the corners are easily removable if needed. Even the shiplap can be removed if needed. Its highly unlikely we will ever need to remove anything though so glue could for sure do the job and speed up the process.

[@stevewhelan3770]

I would use MDF for shiplap and trim so no wood grain! 1/2 the price of wood too.

[@3pumpkins170]

Looks nice! What is the material you used for the baseboard?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Thank you! For the baseboard we used 5” MDF molding from Home Depot because it matched what we already had on the house.

[@jc12283]

which outlet extenders did yall have to use ?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

We moved the outlets forward so we don’t use an extender

[@keithbartels9571]

What kind of paint gun did you use? Thanks!

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Its a Wagner Paint Ready Paint Station. We learned after we painted this that there is an additional detail work nozzle that fixes the texture issue when spraying, but I actually really like the texture now, it grew on me. This is the sprayer, you can also pick up at Home Depot. amzn.to/3qryBYN This is the detail nozzle amzn.to/3s2z1Fz

[@samboorse2093]

Should have primed the wood grain pieces first. Would have gotten rid of the wood grain after you paint it.

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

agreed.

[@anllelafrank9590]

Nice job... how long did it take? I believe it was one day right?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

It can for sure be done in one day if you are committed. But we spaced this out over 2-3 days. One day was an hour or 2 for cutting the shiplap to size. Another for completing shiplap install and the 3rd for paint.

[@anllelafrank9590]

Lets TRY this. Thanks so much

[@hdb1209]

Where is the framing vid???

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

We finally got it finished and posted up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqiUdZmHmKmFoLc

[@Gods1BassPlayer]

What nail size did you use?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

The brad nails were 2"

[@robbb491]

Every piece of shiplap is cupped all the way down the wall. The price you pay for not face nailing it.

[@riskbusin3ss]

Been 5 months I need an update pls

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

Its just as good today as when it was finished. Even with the kid and large dog sometimes bumping into it. Our TV is also an old plasma so its rather heavy compared to the new ones.

[@anthonybaiocco5921]

Paint the shiplap before install.

[@shsabres]

I was thinking this. Figured maybe after cutting to sizes, paint after.

[@gregbowe3203]

There was a lot of ”we” being said in this video. 😂😂😂😂

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

🤣😂😜 Yep.

[@ManuelCastillo-pr6sl]

yeah, with out coalking looks not as nice.. just did one for a client and I was about to do it without a coalking .. glad I didnt

[@chrismenzel4771]

How big is the TV mounted?

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

It’s 60”

[@nathanwyatt6814]

I noticed you said that you ended up with paint “all over ‘your’ island.” You have many talents and vision. Charisma is not one.

[@moderngreyfarmhouse]

No clue what you are trying to say here. Should I have said “our”?

[@Reallythough21]

lol

[@TheGordyadams]

Pretty stupid to not wear safety glasses when you’re using power tools.
