I guess I'll toss one more question in here while I have your attention. The T&G is not end matched, and I was planning on straight butt joints throughout the install. I know most...

Wow, lots of different opinions in here. Thanks for the insight, especially from those who have installed a lot of this stuff. I'll likely keep it packaged inside the cabin and just open when I'm...

Thanks, Eric. All good points and questions. The wood is kiln dried, though I'm not sure of the storage conditions at the lumber yard or moisture content - I'll certainly be measuring that when it...

I'm planning to finish the ceiling and trim of my rustic cabin with pine (t&g for the ceiling, 1x4's for the trim). New, unfinished pine is too light for my liking. I know that it yellows/darkens...
