I would use some interior glue like PL375 and use thicker wood. Home Depot now sells ship lap.
Did you have to remove the toilet to install the shiplap ?
Thanks for the inspiration!!!! I just did my own on my channel! Check it out if you’d like to see how a beginner does it!
How would you attach to plaster walls?
Thank you for making this, we are doing this to our sunroom and this will save a lot of money.
You need sharper drills
So good!
