Log Home Build Episode #26 - Corrugated Metal Basement Ceiling

We are building our Dream home on 41 acres in the rural Midwest. We are building a Countrymark Log Home, which is a hybrid Log home. We just finished the basement of log home. We decided to install Corrugate Metal as the Ceiling in the basement to give it a more rustic look.

Looks good👍.Ive been watching ever since you started .this is my first comment your going to have a very nice home when it all done

[@jamor2549]

What did you use for trim where the tin touches the wood against the wall?

[@kelseygarrett4758]

What did you use to make the cuts for the ac and light fixtures? Also how to i cut it to make everything sit flush.

[@mr.b6374]

when you do not look at the date of the video, and think hmmmmm, why did "WE" never finish the basement, and then notice the comments are YEARS old!!!! but the most important question is when do "WE" get paid for all the work "WE" have been doing for five years? HAHAHA

[@StuckyZHD]

What did you use around the outside edges of the metal is it like a metal j channel

[@CountryViewAcres]

That exactly what is was. Galvanized metal J-channel. I bought the J channel at menards. And the corrugated metal at lowes. Lowes metal was thicker/stronger.

That's one sweeet looking ceiling !!

Hi..... Country View Acres, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

[@cms123tube]

Looks very good !What was your joist spacing for the metal ceiling ?

[@southernman5839]

Must be a man thing because this is exactly what I’m thinking about doing underneath my rear sunroom outside.

[@Sqeptick]

Another home run. Very unique too.

[@EC4400]

Wonderful idea. It looks amazing!

[@silasbland4515]

Looks great. Was planning on doing something very similar on my build. Painting the AC registers bronze or black, to match your light fixtures, will be an easy task and look better than the white.

[@CountryViewAcres]

I agree. The HVAC company that did my system only provided white.

[@tammie7504]

Did you insulate the ceiling with the metal? Could it be done? What would you suggest?

[@CountryViewAcres]

No I did not Insulate the ceiling above the metal. The hanging joists would need to be spaced correctly for insulation batts to be installed in between. Or insulation sheeting would need to be installed on the joists first. Probably the insulation sheeting would be best. It would dampen any noise the metal ceiling might make.

[@tammie7504]

@@CountryViewAcres this room is off our basement. It was made into a screen room, good for about 1.5 seasons here in MA. When you walk out of the basement, the wall is concrete the length of the room. It is covered now and will remain so by a shingled, slightly slanted roof. There are about 7 joist?dividing the ceiling with some wood planks in between holding the roof up. I guess... maybe plywood on top of those boards. I'd like to keep the joists or rafters.. or whatever they are and just wondering what would be the best way to insulate it. A roll of insulation then cover it with the metal, still being able to see the wood that divides the room? This is being made into my " she shed" lol for quilting. Light is of the utmost importance. We're going to enclose it totally, baseboard heat,put windows in where the screen was and I want beadboard around the 3 walls and doors. The concrete(butted up to the existing basement. I'll just paint due to the way I plan to decorate the room with crafting tables. shelves of material, notions, machines, etc., etc.. and my design board... lol throw up some beautiful, rustic pendant lightingand have a lot of electrical outlets and I'll be ready! I'm doo happy I saw your KZbin video. You've given me inspiration and a lot to think of and ask my contractor. God bless

[@Beecozz7]

I love it, very nice!

[@tracyk3567]

Once you get a bunch of furniture everywhere the noise should come down. Was with you til the suspended ceiling. Ick. But the corrugated looks great! I hope it holds up.

[@johnaaulick3360]

I'm using 5V for my ceiling. All i see is corrugated. Has anyone ever used 5V. Would like to see it.

[@user-vv3zs6en8p]

Looks great. Should have went for 9 foot ceilings in the basement, especially with drop ceilings.

[@matt8863]

I love it...Would this be fire code for a garage with living space on the level directly above?

[@ohhpaul7364]

That looks nice, I might have to steal that idea for my own home one day. I might have an idea for that rattle noise but I am not sure if it will work. Foam weather stripping, buy thin weather stripping that just barely fills the gap between the joint between the sheets of metal. Across the end of the sheet and down the side seams, unscrew the ceiling enough to put weather stripping on the piece that is covered, then screw it back up and see if that helps any. Or you could buy some of that sound deadening material they put in cars, like dynamat, and put that on the backside of the sheets. Rockwool insulation in the ceiling will also help to keep the upstairs noise out, especially around the plumbing and waste pipes.

[@CountryViewAcres]

Yea, I was thinking along those same lines. But, I just wasn't sure what to put in between the sheets of metal. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@ohhpaul7364]

Kyle at RR Buildings channel works almost exclusively with putting up this type of metal on buildings and some ceilings. Perhaps he may have some better insight as how to eliminate the noise over on his channel.

[@g.t.g1111]

No dust, sanding, mud, Sheetrock.... Love ❤️ the ceilings...

[@sh839c]

Home is very nice, you are quite the builder.

[@fuschiacouch1287]

We’re do you buy teen from ?

[@CountryViewAcres]

We bought the corrugated metal at lowes.

[@a2rproducts756]

wood ceiling would look 100 percent better

[@CrowCreekOutdoors]

What’s the metal trim around the edges called? I found galvanized C channel at Home Depot, but it isn’t what I see here.

[@vickyvanhoose4001]

He mentioned galvanized J channel

[@fuschiacouch1287]

Is it same kind teen you put on roof ?

[@margretpinehaven2]

I really love the way this level has turned out. Don't get me wrong ALL the levels look amazing.

[@fuschiacouch1287]

How do you trim your ceiling?

[@TheMajinCollins]

What wood paneling is that.

[@jamesharless5357]

You’ve done a wonderful job, looks great!

[@albertasigh9617]

That is FABULOUS!!! Love it!

[@MrReign007]

Could u plz tell me what the trim is called that was used around the edges???

[@CountryViewAcres]

It was "J" channel. Galvanized J channel.

[@Bajaheat]

What are the strips at the end called? Where the metal meets at the wall?

[@CountryViewAcres]

Galvanized J-channel

[@chopperdude14am]

It get hot or not

[@yasminghani2073]

Looks great

[@onedogfarm6731]

Beautiful!

[@jamor2549]

Ok did you say J-channel?

[@Icutmetal]

I guess you could watch the video again and find out...

[@tobyreynaga8549]

Awesome

[@icecoldbeer2695]

Looks Great! How does it distribute the lighting? I getting ready to put the same galvanized metal on the ceiling of my garage.

[@CountryViewAcres]

I am not sure if it helps distribute the lighting. One thing I will mention, is that it vibrates and makes some noise when doors are shut. Maybe I should have used more screws. Probably not a big deal in a garage.

[@Hhhhhgggihgdd]

Have you done your garage ceiling yet ? I would love to see pictures.

[@icecoldbeer2695]

@@Hhhhhgggihgdd I just finished yesterday. I'm not sure how to post pics

[@FoardFow]

I see you have removed the pipe handrail already!

[@CountryViewAcres]

No it is still there, the first part of video was filmed about a month ago. The last part of the video has the handrail on it. You catch a glimpse of it at 4:08 in the video.

[@HarmonyHollowApiary]

My ex and I removed corrugated tin from a house we were renting... We weren't fans of the look... Felt like it made the room look like a bait shop. I do like the utilitarian use, though.

[@coolwheelz5190]

Sorry, hate the ceilings......I would have to re-do all. Also, the lower level is very choppy. Two bedrooms and one awkward space. I would rip a bedroom out and make a nice family room......just my 2 cents.....not that you or anyone cares......LOL!!!

Yet here you are.
