OK. I've never installed a T&G ceiling, but I am doing one as part of my project of finishing a portion of my basement for a man cave.
Dumb question:

I have a 18ga brad nailer that will shoot 1 1/4" nails. I plan to blind nail the toungues using 5/8 pine T&G. So using my Jethro Bodine cipherin, I reckon I would be shooting thru about 3/8" of T&G and 7/8" of ceiling joist. If I shoot 2 nails at each joist in a "V" pattern, is that good enough or do I need to get another nailgun and shoot longer 16ga nails?

Code is 18 ga crown stapler 45deg through the toung.
A 16 ga or 15 ga finish nailer will do fine I would not recommend the brad nailer.(use 2in whatever you decide)
Don’t need the v pattern unless you just want to. The nail through the toung holds up the next groove just fine.
I’ll send a picture of the ceiling in the she shed when I get home.

What kind of dog is that? The one pooping on your planter?

The only kind I’ve never owned.
Schnauzer I believe.
That no pooping sign is completely ineffective

The dog Gabby in front of the sign is a Blue Heeler.
Also known as my shadow. She goes everywhere I go.

blue healers are such good dogs. Gabby sure is pretty

Scraping old texture from the garage ceiling. 1/4 of the way thru. Dayum Son! Tough on the shoulders.

Hey guys been away for a while now. Hope everyone is good. After last year, had to do something positive for my mental health so, I went to school. HVAC SCHOOL I don’t know why other than I needed to immerse myself in something I knew nothing about. I had always wanted to move our HVAC unit out of the middle of the house so that’s what I’ve done. I put in new ductwork last week broke my hand in the process lol I’ll post pictures. Learning how to do metal work has been fun, but my hands are cut all the pieces.

tough but fun work
