Interior Shiplap Siding

After finishing the exterior (except for staining and painting the sunburst), it was time to move to the interior.

Brad installed all of the electrical wiring within the walls and to the fan box in the ceiling. Once that was done, the County came out, inspected, and cleared the electrical. Another step done.

We had quite a bit of additional board insulation left over from the walls as well as some fiberglass from the ceiling, so we ended up being able to double insulate the ENTIRE building!

The next step was putting up the shiplap on the ceiling. Starting in the center, we worked our way down to each side. In this photo, you can see the box for the ceiling fan that will be installed later.

With curved boards, we used a jack for "muscle" to help straighten them into place for nailing

Brad is doing such an amazing job. He's been so careful and thorough, I cannot believe my good fortune that I will have such a lovely office to work in.
