How to Install a Beadboard Porch Ceiling | This Old House

[@rawbacon]

*Yup we all saw it slide off the line*

[@poeticthoughts06]

really would have liked to see the finished product and how the areas around the lights were tackled.

[@BigZeus]

Sorry, but on this channel they don't do that.

[@dereksmalls6238]

There's a link in the description to the whole episode on their website.

This thing I ordered is not bad www.amazon.com/gp/mpc/A3MGZHBCGI80GD

[@TomKaren94]

I have installed beadboard on a numerous porch ceilings. I have never run it perpendicular to the front of the house. I always go lengthwise to the porch for aesthetics.

[@rexracernj7696]

Question: what to do if you need to replace a couple bad boards in the MIDDLE without redoing the whole ceiling?

[@gary24752]

It depends on the ceiling joists. The bead board has to be installed perpendicular to the ceiling joists.

[@rpeace05ify]

His first slid at least 3/16ths off his mark when he nailed it...

[@graphguy]

King OfSunnyvale haha I saw that right away also. But... gosh I hate tradesmen are always playing Mr. expert and nitpicking as if they make no mistakes! Haha

[@BTcycle]

What happens when Tom is not there.

[@nuancolar7304]

Saw that too. He should have used something thin as a shim while he nailed that first one.

[@LegionOfWeirdos]

Glad someone else caught it too.

[@moohuhahaaa]

How would they have made adjustments if the 2 sides didn't match up midway through install? How would they cut in light fixtures? These are the helpful things that are missing in this video.

[@CheeseBae]

If the ceiling starts going at an angle then you'd put a tiny shim between the beadboard on one side. That would help make the ceiling square again. It would also create a gradually widening gap, but you wouldn't notice it from the porch, especially after it's painted.

[@becoolnotcruel]

Can bead board be placed directly over a plywood based exterior ceiling? If so, how would it be done? Thank you for any advice you may offer.

[@mannymota2871]

Thank you Old house for getting me through these tough times!

[@jackielinde7568]

You didn't cover what to do at the light fixture. I would have loved to see how that was tackled.

[@MandoFettOG]

You have to provide nailing surface all four sides around the light box so maybe some additional framing. Then you can nail off the cut pieces with no problem.

[@lewiskelly14]

These videos are only ever one-tenth of the actual content

[@kennethjacobs2875]

What size nails did you use? I have a similar project to do.

[@candocody]

“I’m just going to mail through the tongue” *board moves a whole half inch*

[@STXVIEC]

Should have showed the finish project. Would love to see how they cut around the octagon box

[@HAMRADIOJOE4178]

T.O.H IS CHANGING AND WE DONT LIKE IT

[@TomJones-ck2ll]

Removed vinyl ceiling do I need to remove plywood before installing tongue and groove to the ceiling patio or can I install over plywood

[@jamesdezwaan9598]

What type of nail? Are there non rust types for exterior nail gun use?

[@ryanbrouillard2926]

I use stainless steel. If you are trim nailing use some liquid nails or other adhesive

[@1986dt]

How did you squared it off the house that center mark of the casing?

[@lanamolczyk5139]

Dang! We are starting this project right now! Great timing!

[@steakwilliams4448]

Good luck. Try not to move your first board when driving the nail!

[@ElliotJokelson]

what size nail gun? what type of nails?

[@MisterTee2010]

Putting in the first nail probably set it back 1/16 of an inch. A lot when going a long distance.

[@shudderclaw7197]

Just the boards that touch the wall need room for expansion?

[@oldskoolwayy]

What are the purpose for the furry strips

[@dougfraser7635]

I don't suppose someone could tell me what they used to nail up the bead board. Brad? Finish? Would staples be the better way to go for an application like this?

[@josiahamaze]

18 gauge brad nails 1 1/2 inch. You'll need a nail gun that fits that as well.

[@keithbrown8814]

​@@josiahamaze ....should be stainless steel as well......expensive tho!

[@heroknaderi]

Very informative thanks 🙏 also what about cutting out the ceiling fan box

[@joshuasmith1215]

I like how that first nail through the tongue moved the whole board. Next time expect that and pull it farther out so it corrects itself! Or just face nail it!

[@gc7782]

Joshua Smith yeah, they should have face nailed the back of the board first

[@demetriosantoniadis4648]

Is it possible to connect two Tongue and grove boards that do not meet at the center of a stud?

[@Thomas63r2]

Don't do that. Instead revise the lengths so they meet at the center of a stud.

[@matthewhutchinson4999]

Ceiling battens should be no greater than 450mm apart and boards should be glued when secret nailing.

[@MegaGsizzle]

Beautiful

[@dalebabbitt6185]

I can do that!! What I want to see is how you fit the final pieces incase they're not parallel to existing porch trim board. Also, what about the details fitting the overhead light fixture?? C'MON!!!

[@bgirlblueberry]

Where can you buy the beadboard ?

[@scott5106]

What size and type of nails/brads did you use?

[@jasonr254]

16 or 18 ga ?

[@bartbug1]

Laser level or string line every 5th board...

[@gary24752]

Definently would have painted the boards before installing them. I also would have checked to make sure they were square to the house with a 3,4,5 triangle. Also I would have left visable marks as to each joist location.

[@Anonomush_oranges]

No one cares what you think!

[@gary24752]

@@Anonomush_oranges That is only because you are an amateur that knows nothing about carpentry.

[@daveb11230]

What is the reason for never showing us the finished project?

[@peterhanson3962]

Why oh why are all the Ask This Old videos cut short nowadays? Never do they show the finished job anymore. The bodged first nail should not have been shown. Bring back Norm please.

[@njwags95]

Have this on my 1920s porch ceiling still in good shape.

[@Boricua19620205]

Lack of information. How did he square the center line if the room itself is not square? How is he keeping the boards stray if the ceiling is high on one side compare to the rest?

[@RainbowMedicine2000]

would be nice to see the whole video and not a commercial

[@tonquinb]

would like to have seen the finished product....and how they put up the support straps....these vids are too short and leave out important info If you're really trying to do this yourself.......they are more like an AD for them selves

[@brentlambert5274]

Hi. Does anybody have any photos of a lean to they have built please? Need some ideas. Thanks

[@ivanbagual]

When job is noce to see The time is short

[@yaosio]

Hi to the reflection of the audio person.

[@michaelcarman4875]

uh what's beadboard??? tandg???

[@mymatemartin]

Pointless if you don't show the finished project

[@george8873]

You know a person has to be petty to down vote a video that's been posted for less than a minute.

[@george8873]

@Joe Kinchicken You're welcome sonny. You need all the wisdom you can get youngin.

[@2loco]

Now this is so weird. Where is the finish??

[@FredMcIntyre]

😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@CHEECHMUN]

Time consuming and a neck breaker. I say that because I have a worn C5 & C6.

[@prestonarcuri]

This profile gauge can be used .......omg go away

[@cccc-ru9ex]

What about the finished product, why would you do that. I'm not watching this channel anymore, you just want us to view the KZbin adds to make money for you. Don't really care about complete content. Bye bye for good.

[@juan2049]

cc cc bye!

[@BigZeus]

Thumbs down, not showing the finished product yet again

[@Sjjones1977]

Would be nice to see the whole project rather then just the start. Seriously considering unfollowing TOH. :-(

[@jaybrown3953]

These are not worth watching anymore.

[@aliibrahim4807]

[@Yorkie285]

looks like crap...
