I came to this video because I want to take down my dropped ceilings. I didn’t expect to tear up because of how much you love and value your wife. Never change! You guys are goals.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Wow!! Thank you!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I would love to become a new subscriber!! Thanks for watching!

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I installed this same ceiling over Popcorn Ceilings in my house but they have since marketed it to attach to ceiling like yours. Instead of grid I just added furring strips, and then installed this. Super easy and it looks great! Mine has held up for about 7 years now.

[@bizzothagreat]

How hard is it to do? I have an older house with a drop ceiling and want to upgrade..

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@bizzothagreat It is really easy. There are clips you screw in and the next piece covers it up. Definitely easier than dealing with Tongue & Groove wood that is all bowed, plus it’s already pre-finished. I did half of my house in one day. I assume it’s the same on a drop ceiling. I installed mine over a resultant drywall ceiling.

[@neilforehand1121]

Priced out the Armstrong to just pine 6x12 bead boards and the bead boards are 1/2 the price of the Armstrong. Gonna be more work to stain and paint but it’s my labor!

[@anthonyBD]

Love the 480 plank. First time seeing a complete install. Easy. Nice big smile from the Mrs is even better.

[@killazftw]

Those ceilings look fantastic, I have a 100 year old house that has AGRESSIVE texture everywhere including the ceiling will be keeping this in mind for getting it gone

[@ronmckenzie386]

I'm an Acoustic tbar ceiling installer by trade and have done a few of these Armstrong ceiling systems. They always look good.

[@antonvink]

Pro-tip do not measure the last plank of each row, just reverse the board and mark directly on it. The same thing goes for laying floors. It's faster, lower chance on mistakes en more accurate.

[@macgyver03ga]

Great tip. This is exactly how I do floors. Flip it over longways, mark the back, cut, and install. No tape measure needed.

[@johnliesen1078]

How does one find a Pro

[@mindi.m]

100% improvement! It looks incredible. It will look good when it's a bonus room one day, too.

[@rhondakennedy819]

Looks great! Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all

[@caterandolph3440]

Omg! It looks gorgeous! I just recently found your channel after just finding the Perkins Bros. I could watch you guys ALL effing day!!

So glad they talked you out of the mirrored ceiling.. This looks great..

Lol!!

Awesome job, guys, this new ceiling looks great! The video is edited very well too!

[@TheKunnak906]

I've been realllllllly struggling on how to do my basement ceiling. You guys sold me on this. Thanks!!!!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Sweet!

[@nancybasha6934]

Nice work 👏 👌 👍! Bless your hard word Ray Jay

[@renaeallen9519]

I’ve had the coffered Armstrong ceiling in my basement😃. Everyone that has seen it loves it. I loved this option because of pipes and ducts and wires in the ceiling.

[@robertlinell8467]

That is gorgeous! Well done you do have a lot of build materials in US then we have in Sweden.

[@markb.1259]

Do your best... Caulk the rest!!! Excellent job RJ!!!

[@charlessessions7293]

Man that turned out real nice yall !! Good job 👏 👍 👌 🙌 😄

One of the better videos you guys have done. Keep up the great work!

Ray did an awesome job helping you out.👍👍👍

[@firemanj35]

Looks absolutely beautiful great job.

[@PatriciaMaroney]

What an improvement! Can't believe just 2 people could accomplish that in 1 day. So much better. I'm working on my own led light install now and now that I've seen your video, might try this in the small office area in house. Thanks for showing this product.

[@johngardiner8847]

Beautiful job, the quality in the work alone stands out

[@j-dawg4015]

Absolutely perfect. Great work guys 👌😎🇦🇺

[@drahcir1407]

Wow!!! Great job with the crown it's looks amazing

[@TheSNIPERmac]

Bud, In all seriousness I've seen people who claimed to be time served carpenters and others who say they have 25 years of trading as joiners and believe me, your work surpasses theirs hands down. I'm into the 9th video of your playlist so far and I have enjoyed every single video, you explain yourself well and your attention to detail is first rate. I would hire you to work on my property any time. Thank you for the great videos, Stephany must be so happy with your home... All the best Jay...

[@Building_Jays_Way]

That is so nice to hear! I appreciate the good words. I will try to keep putting out good content for you!

[@genesisearlgarcia7857]

Nicely done mates!!

[@matthewson1000]

The ceiling looks top notch brosephus! Woot woot!

[@Sewcialitecrew]

Wow that looks amazing!!! Great job guys

[@itscodyw]

I have the old fashion 1x1ft drop ceiling tiles in my kitchen and I hate it with a passion. Can’t wait to rip it down!

[@andrewmakestuff]

I was just looking at these for my basement office ceiling! Your timing on this video is perfect! Definitely my next project

[@micklagler8084]

Great job guys, looks awesome

[@SeishiZero]

I am loving that 4K resolution! PBB needs to step up their game!

[@tii2015]

LOVED this one guys! Great job! Note to self: If Mama ain't happy, no one is happy!

[@cachamp203]

Great job, what a transformation! You could put an Oatey access panel over the area for your water shut off. Would sit a little more flush with the wood and not bump out as much.

[@hankieski1549]

That looks amazing.

[@jlawlar]

great job ray and jay

[@desiprince786]

this is a cool concept... it looks like your physically connecting the first one with screws... how about all the rest? are you screwing in every single one?

[@Building_Jays_Way]

No just the end ones. The ones in the field go together just like tongue and groove planks.

[@philipfloyd4038]

Hello Ray/Jay! I haven’t seen that ceiling before. Looks like it’s really fun to put it up. Anyway, love the videos. Have a blessed day! 👊🏼🪚

[@MichaelDeming]

What an improvement, it came out really nice.

[@thepagan5432]

Great job. Looks so much better than the original ceiling,

[@Building_Jays_Way]

100%

Boom, your experience is beginning to pay you back, the ceiling looks fantastic 🍺👍💥🎉

Hey Jason sweet work. The bed you made looks awesome. Peace out brothers till the next one👍

[@cristhomson9043]

Wow! That is an amazing transformation. Great job!

[@theeapco]

Looks great guys!

[@crocodile1313]

I'm confused by the clip remarks beginning at 11:51. Did you have to buy the clips you used on the grid separately, and what do the clips that come with the ceiling boards do? Thanks in advance.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

They sent me separate clips that work with the drop down ceilings. The clips that come with it could be used to attach the planks to studs or rafters without seeing any nail holes. The clips would be hidden. Hope this helps.

[@mentalneil]

That's pretty impressive stuff, Jason

[@ariannaprest7606]

I watched your videos from the very beginning and now I’m caught up!! You guys have definitely gotten better at filming! Love the new roof jay!

[@sparky178]

That turned out great! Nice work!

[@colinbrooks6290]

Love the chuckle brothers, the ceiling looks beautiful😅

[@goldblueberries326]

That's so cool.... I'm getting ready to build a man cave.... I plan to install these planks on my ceiling

[@505WHODATS]

That looks good Jason. Well done RJBB

[@BigGibby02]

Spackle and paint will make a carpenter what he ain't. Looks great Jason.

[@randybourdon2791]

That turned out awesome!

[@jayshen902]

Looks great! But if you want to add some wiring or another spot light, is it easy to take down some planks in the middle of the ceiling? Since they are all connected to each other?

[@bashaadeemII]

Great job and great video too. Thank you very much. How long did it take you from electric to finishing the crown molding?

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Not sure. I work when I can and try not to think on how long it’s! lol.

[@jasonthompson3631]

looks awesome dude love it

[@artisticdrywall7368]

Wow builder buddy your doing great 👍🏾

[@MaggieGueder]

Turn out great ♥️ can't wait for the next project

[@BWIL2515]

Looks great I'm curious about the weight and the sagging over time maybe extra time downs to your track?

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I did go over the whole track and make sure that everything was secure and that it was going to be strong enough. So I think I should be good. Push that stuff was not super heavy it’s just MDF

[@BWIL2515]

@@Building_Jays_Way thanks look forward to some more videos

[@Creations-hj2kq]

heheheheheeh i was waiting for you guys to have your own channel as well. Loving it guys... awesome

[@garretts91]

looks great but for the added ceiling height wouldn't drywall on strapping be an easier and more beneficial alternative?

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Never thought of that. Wife likes the look of the planks!

[@toddhenning8304]

Yay a whole project in 1 video, congrats! 👍

[@bulletsbladesandbeskar4271]

I'm starting this project tomorrow. do the outsides of each row of planks need to be screwed in the wall molding? I had trouble seeing how you did that. seems like it would be a pain having to add screws every 5" on both sides of room.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Not needed every row. I screwed in a clip on the ends on every other row or so to play it safe. Good luck. You will love the finish product.

[@bulletsbladesandbeskar4271]

@@Building_Jays_Way awesome! appreciate the info

[@colinbrooks6290]

Jason, I’ve done moulding before and yours are looking great….. 😁🍺

That was a 1-10 upgrade! Looks so nice! :D

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks.

[@markcole6460]

What color did you paint the walls? I’m thinking about painting my bedroom and I love the color that you chose. The ceiling looks great

[@brianhudson2621]

Use a cold air return vent cover over the access you need. It looks way more normal than boxed out attic style drop in.

[@fatcat-hc4pj]

Looks really good 👍

[@arkyrc]

Would it be possible to leave the existing tiles in place and install the ceiling planks? Turned out great!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I guess you could. I would be worried about the extra weight on the cross bars. Just make sure they are secure enough to hold extra weight.

[@arkyrc]

@@Building_Jays_Way thanks! I may try leaving them..if it's too heavy, removing them isn't difficult. I have insulation laying on top if them unfortunately.

[@coffeefortwosolly]

I just wanted to say hi..I only found your channel( subscribed of course ) as I fell across the Perkins Brother and met you all and loved everything about your channels so spent the last week binge watching all your videos ( and perking brothers - I have time on my hands 😂🤷🏻‍♀️) so all caught up! This ceiling was a beautiful transformation ! 🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕jane

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks for watching! Glad you found us!

[@matteberry58]

Both of you guys just keep getting more accomplished and versatile. Pretty soon Jason will be painting trim with one hand tied behind his back and one eye closed

[@1carlsworth]

That house looks absolutely massive :o

[@stephanieellis1811]

3 generations plus foster children and lots of animals 😂 Very blessed to have a house that fits us all!

[@1carlsworth]

It's awesome - the house is huge, but also the land you have around it looks gorgeous A tour video would be good 👍

[@tylerbarrett6652]

So glad to see you change things up and show a project at YOUR house... and now we get, "Mmmmaaaarrrrrthaaaaaa!". I love it. Seriously though, after the carport looking thing, I was wondering if we'd ever get back to your house. Meanwhile, I STILL want to see Ray's project completed too.

[@RICHat22]

Looks good, guys. What lights and what spacing did you use between the lights? Also, room size. I am doing something similar in my house but with drywall, not drop down.

[@hunterscott7592]

Looks amazing!!

[@rodpotts2666]

Damn that looks good!

[@lavidanormalderay3296]

Nice job I like it.

[@YoYoMazcousin]

Could this product be used not in a drop down ceiling application, but stapled in like my old stapled-in square tiles?

[@TJ57channel]

Really nice result! Man, I would have loved a more in depth look at how you got the lights wired. That part’s a bit intimidating

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Those new LED’s have clips on them where you can just stick the wires in them. Pretty easy really. Thanks for watching!
