1000Sq Ft Porch Ceiling

[karoc]

Been up at retirement place working on back porch ceiling. I’m so glad that don’t do this for living cause I would be homeless. Today I finally finish installing those 1x6 T&G boards. I have say that they were NOT all perfectly straight. But I was lucky that I started with full width and finish with full width, but it’s not perfectly square. Once I put trim on, you have break out ruler to tell. Now I can start on board/batten on this back wall. Two pieces up has just few screws, I’ll have take down to get flashing. Thanks for looking and I’m all ears for constructive criticism

Did you seal all sides of the boards before install ?

One coat on back and three on show side, I didn’t really intend to do three but that’s what it took to get smooth finish. But no one was really going to rub it anyway. I did spraying at home on little over 70 pieces. Dang it, that was lot work but that part is done. Last two pieces kick my ****
Guys keep me on my toes

Looks very good.

Looks great. Tongue and groove boards are a pain to put up but always look so much better than the alternatives.

What’s the plan for the porch railing?

Thanks Jeff, I really haven’t gave that to much thought. I was thinking maybe iron rod with top bottom being wood. I am open for suggestions on that. Coming next is finishing this side of house w/ Board/Batten which I hope this weekend

Looks great. Nice spot also. How bad are the bugs during the summer? Did a similar thing here and just kept going and did a knee-wall and then screened in the top. Enjoy. Also looks like a prime spot for a hot tub.
