This is the lastly i of iii posts. If you lot are novel here, you lot may desire to click HERE, to run into the kickoff role on how to install the supports.
The 2nd role HERE, was all almost installing that large beam at the top of the ceiling.
Today is all almost the remaining beams as well as the reveal. We began working on the kickoff beam nigh the entrance of the room, inward this adjacent picture, the i at the far right. The best candidate to produce those kickoff cuts, since its the "hidden" beam. ;)
It got measured as well as amongst the numbers at paw it was cook to live cut. But hold off a minute, this is a slanted ceiling! That was i of the things I was most afraid of, when I began thinking of doing this project. I'm non that neat of a mathematician, somehow transferring angles onto the forest is only non my thing.
Not this time! I used a sliding bevel to stair out the angles as well as and thence I develop the miter saw next that angle. As unproblematic every bit that, only past times looking. No numbers involved. ;)
For that first beam I cutting each piece separately, at the same length and at the corresponding angles. When it was fourth dimension to seat it together, the bottom slice was set on top of the ¼" samples (for the reveal), as well as the sides were clamped on each side, i at a time, piece the nails were driven. BUT it was difficult to drive the nails similar that, on the side. Right at that spot inward that film below, i of the nails went the incorrect way, popping out on the bottom of the beam. :( I got it out as well as continued putting it together.
To my surprise the ends on that beam didn't tally perfectly, fifty-fifty though I had been careful to cutting everything at the same length! It wasn't that large of a difference, but it did bother me.
Installing the beams along side the walls was sort of tricky. Walls are non perfectly straight, neither are the 2x4s. Since i side cannot live nailed to the support, nosotros applied liquid nails to that border as well as and thence installed the beam. It was such a super tight fit, that nosotros had to strike it inward house amongst a mallet, protecting the beam amongst an extra slice of wood. Then it was nailed to the 2x4 back upwards on the opened upwards side. Just similar that, it stayed inward place, but to live extra secure, only about nails were driven from the push of the beam, the let on lip, onto the studs on the wall.
For the remaining beams I changed how things were done. I put them together earlier cutting them. The nails were driven from the top (placing a temporary slice of forest within the beam every bit support), similar I did amongst that large beam, it was easier.
After assembling them, it was time to cutting them.
That kickoff beam was cutting slice past times slice because I idea that my inexpensive saw was non large plenty to cutting all the means through if the beam was assembled, but amongst the bad experience I had, it was fourth dimension to travail something different.
I seat together only about spare pieces of forest as well as cutting them. It didn't larn all the way through but it wasn't that bad either! There was a tiny chip left uncut, with a paw saw I finished the cut. That's what I did amongst all the remaining beams.
It is real of import to pay closed attending to the means the angle goes. I had to flip the beam to brand the 2nd cutting because amongst my saw I tin solely cutting those angles inward i direction.
Those beams inward the pump of the room were the easiest! They are non heavy, you lot drive the nails on each side as well as LISTO! No problem.
We continued amongst the tertiary as well as and thence the concluding beam until it was all done.
Really? Well no, not completely done. It was fourth dimension for caulking, the magic of caulking. I honey how expert forest projects hold off afterward you lot caulk them. Look at the difference!
Huh, shout back that smash that went wrong? That's the hole it created piece pulling it out. After roofing all those smash holes a expert sanding is a must.
Once i time to a greater extent than amongst my icon uniform to encompass all those marks.
The whole ceiling got a novel coat. The same stain-blocking pigment was applied.
Now it was icon fourth dimension for the beams. Since I don't convey a steady paw it was easier for me to record them all around.
One earlier pic to run into the difference.
Oh my! I'm loving them!
Even though the room is yet a mess, I experience thence featherbrained each fourth dimension I larn this film of the beams when I larn to the top of the steps.
They certain brand a large difference!
Here again, afterward building the bookcases as well as installing a chandelier.
