Terry Aki, still planning on doing shiplap in the next two, three, four, five, six weeks.

Got to put some LVP flooring in in the next two, three, four, five weeks first.

Any do tips or tricks that I need to be aware of?

Well, first of all, that has got to feel so good to not have a concrete plan.

You know, like, a lot of people, a lot of people get stressed about not having a concrete plan. You know, like, a lot of people, a lot of people get stressed about not having a concrete

plan, but for me, knowing that like, you know, this winter, I should, I should put up

the studs in my basement, start finishing it off.

You know, like, that feels good to me.

Like, to me, that's a plan. But to be like,

all right, on December 18th, I am going to start doing this. I'm like dreading that day.

Yeah. But if I wake up on a Saturday and I'm like, I'm going to get some fucking lumber.

Yeah. It's a great feeling. So, kudos to you for not having a concrete plan. That sounds awesome. And Ryan, you're the shiplap guy. So I'll maybe defer to you on the shiplap. I've hung shiplap before. Yeah, TNG. I mean, you got to get the TNG. I've did chip lap with just using like spacers.

That's pain in the ass.

Gotta go tongue and groove. Got to go TNG. Um, uh, on top of that, I, I, I don't know, I was measured like quarter inch longer than what I actually need. It depends on if you're putting it over hardwood or carpet. it. Now, I've put in, like, when I did it at my old house, I already had trim on the bottom.

It took the trim off, but it was, hardwood or carpet. Now, I've put in, like, when I did it at my old house, I already had trim on the bottom.

It took the trim off, but it was in a carpeted room.

So there's some play there.

I always measure quarter inch longer.

If I go cut twice, it's fine.

Yeah.

Another, like, something to think about when you're doing it too is where the line's going you know because if you're doing LVP right you're doing planks yep which way the planks go matter in the room and

also depends if you're going vertical ship lap or horizontal ship lap, a completely different game.
