Shiplap Ahoy! There are 15 essential things not to do when installing shiplap. Many are guilty of doing most of these. In fact I have been shocked to see so many YouTube shiplap videos guilty of committing these atrocities. I'll admit, some of these are my own opinion, but I think I could make a pretty good argument for each one of them. Ultimately when you do you project, if it turns out exactly how you want it then that makes it perfect....to you. But, in general these shiplap tips and tricks will impress all who look at it and put you in the category of a professional finish carpenter.

If you have any other shiplap ideas, feel free to leave a comment and let me know. If you disagree with any of my "Don'ts", let me know as well in the comment section. I welcome of love, hate, and anything in between.
