Knotty Pine Interior Cost???

[Reynolds]

Going to be replacing the interior of the fish house and I am considering going with Knotty Pine exclusively. I was just wondering about the approximate cost with it being 8'x16' with the four walls and ceiling.

Is this a perm or drop frame?

Permanent

Six years ago it cost us $900 clams for the same size shack. I wish we never would have sold it,it had that nice cabin feel. You may find it cheeper but not much for good grade A 1/2 T/G

[GRAND DAD]

Right now you can get it a Manards for 7 dollars a bondle I just did mine I just did the back wall, 3 bathroom walls and the rest 44inch's from the floor up and I can't have more then 300 dollars in to it Oh mine is a 8x27 so mine is a little bigger and the stuff is great to work with a lot better then the white fiberglass panaling I used for the rest of in I will never use that stuff again what a pain

[Reynolds]

I guess I wasn't expecting it to cost that much. I think I may have to reconsider some other alternative. Like you said though, knotty pine has that cabin feel to it, and that is the theme I am going for. Maybe I will do the ceiling, and the bottom 4' feet of the the walls and go with an outdoor paneling for the rest.

[GRAND DAD]

I bet you could do the hole thing for under $150 I for got I did 2 other walls to and it's 1/4 thick so it's pretty light

Wow that is just cheep, We bought ours at the local lumber yard and it was high qualty stuff but if you can get away with 1/4 inch run it, we did it on all 4 walls and the ceiling,

[GRAND DAD]

This isn't high quality you have to watch what pack's you grab some of the packs can have some screwed up boards in it but it looks great,you have to stain it your self looks great very happy with it

Hey Grand dad, When are we going to see this monster? I take it you bought a shell and are finishing it you self?

[GRAND DAD]

[GRAND DAD]

There sent not the best pictures I used a whole roll of film on my wiring so I know where all the wires are and had one photo left on the camra and it was dark so it didn't turn out that well when it get's done I will take more almost done with it I have to panal the bath room,stain the kitchen cabnets and finsh the bunk bed's and more trimming this is the first time I have built something so I think am the onley guy who is going to have to trim his outlets

on an 8 x 16 you have 48 lineal feet of wall space. the 1/4" paneling comes either 6 or 8 pieces to a pack. Each piece covers about 3" so for 48 lineal feet of wall you will need 192 pieces. 32 packs of 6 pieces or 24 packs of 8 pieces.

Here are a few pics of a 6.5 x 12 it cost me around $150 to do the walls and ceiling.

Is that bead board?

[Jay Man]

The package says Knotty Pine Solid Wood Planking.

There was 6 pieces all 8' long and 3 5/8" Wide.

Hope this helps.

Menards has it for 9 something a pack which covers 14sq ft. I am planning a 8 by 16 and all walls and ceiling should take 32 packs. With tax this would be $320. This is 1/4 in. stuff but do not want thicker due to weight. Does look nice though.

running a $4 rebate as well

Hey Grand Dad, I am building new starting soon. I would imagine with the boards in the packs you would have to have a luan over your studs first.. What way would you recommend to go about putting these boards on the walls and ceiling? Thanks for any advice.

[GRAND DAD]

Now I don't know if i did it wrong but I just took a nail gun and put it right on my studs.Very inportant make sure your fish house is level

[stmichael]

Grandad,

If you nailed through the tongue part of the board you did it right to conceal the nail. If it were me I do not think I would go this route and I would put it through the face with a finishing or brad nail. Going through the tongue seems a little weak for a house that could "flex" and shift a little with the 1/4 " wood. IMO.

Use a little putty to fill in the thousands of holes and call 'er dun.

[GRAND DAD]

That's what I did I used a finish nail right threw the main part of the board
