DIY Faux Beams Ceiling Makeover | Plank Over Popcorn Ceilings Faux Shiplap

I installed faux wood ceiling beams and put faux shiplap planks over my popcorn ceiling as part of my living room makeover. Tackling this project was an easy way to modernize the look of my living room and I can't wait to install a fireplace next!

    All your labor-saving tricks are giving off serious big brain energy. I especially liked when you drove the screws partway into the supports before lifting them up to the ceiling and clamped all the boards together before staining the edges.

    Your room turned out beautifully! We did this for a much larger living room dining room combination. I have to say that our liquid nails and every other kind of Liquid adhesion material we used did not work! Nothing would hold that beat board up there for any length of time. We ended up purchasing a. Sheet rock lift to keep the pieces up while we did the nailing. I joke that it saved my marriage!! It is very difficult working with heavy stuff over your head as you probably know. I will include some pictures. Thanks again for your video. I love the way my ceiling looks and we get tons of compliments! And we never would have thought to do it without you video.😁

    One of the thoughts I had that I did not see addressed in the comments was with wedging the beam up to conform to the ceiling. I feel if you are putting flex into the beam to attach it to the support, then that flex will carry through to the support and work to loosen it from the drywall and beam above or perhaps promote cracking the support and faux beam..

    This "popcorn" ceiling finish is in most cases a sprayed-on finish which contains asbestos. Asbestos was widely and commonly used as part of ceiling finish, especially on older homes. Some people hire a licensed asbestos abatement crew to drape furnishings and remove it in a careful manner. Some spray a coating of white or off-white paint to seal the ceiling. Covering the ceiling with faux beams/thin slats will also work.

    When you have to use a support to raise the one end of the beam into place, a simple car jack works wonders. The jack from your car would work. A floor jack works even better or a bottle jack. That is the way I do this . Ya did well no matter what. Ya got the beam into place. One other tip, instead of direct wood to wood contact, on the floor, use a thin flexible cutting sheet for veggies, this keeps the floor from being marred by the wood .
