rob-c Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Since I’m not hunting this season, I’m getting caught up on projects that I’ve wanted to get done. So tearing in to this one we peeled off wall paper that they had painted over. We went with a white wash shiplap board, so happy how it turned out. We have the original oak trim that we still need to strip and stain. Because the previous owners were too lazy or cheap to tape off when they painted.

Enigma Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Nicely done. I had a flashback or three when I saw the lathe and plaster. Pure evil stuff. Please post up some pics of the moulding when complete. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 You nailed the shiplap. The matching heights on the entry door and stairwell window are sweet. Planned I'm sure and that'll look tight when you're finished. I just see exstension jambs in your future lol. Tedious as you probably know but eh, doing it right is always worth the time. Pics! More pics! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yep, used 16 gauge air nailer finish nails in the ends that will be covered by the trim and in the underlying lip. We gave it some thought and decided to run the ship lap into the stair well as it would have looked weird/ unfinished if we didn’t. I replaced the entrance door several years ago and had to do 1/2 inch jamb extension then, so now I have to remove and replace that one and do one on the other new door I just installed also. And yes very tedious especially in these old houses, nothing is plumb , square or straight. But it’s all worth the cussing in the end.
