We moved into our house 7 years ago and there were quite a few things that we would have done differently had we built the house and not bought it as is. Thankfully my husband and I love working on DIY projects together so we've been able to change quite a bit and put our own touches into the home. We had a half wall or pony wall that was visible from the front door and separated the front room and family room. The wall not only collected a lot of dust and became a catch all area for clutter, but our kids also loved to use it as a jungle gym. It was on our top ten list of projects and we finally got around to doing it!
We decided to shiplap the wall that faces the front room, completely covering the cutout that opened up into the family room. On the opposite wall we added shiplap and long shelving so it would almost be like a built in bookshelf. We have shiplapped several other areas in our home and used several different approaches so we have a pretty good feel for what works best.
Curtis used 2x4's to frame out the opening of the wall and he cut the 45 degree decorative angles, leaving the edges square. It was amazing how much better it looked right away! The 2x4's were installed flush with the wall so the MDF shiplap boards could go right over the opening on the wall to cover it.
Materials needed:
-1/2 inch MDF Wood - Lowes is our favorite hardware store and they will rip your wood down for free. They supply all of the lumber for JaxnBlvd and we have always had a great experience working with them!
-Nail Gun and Nails
-Router and Router Bit
-Chop Saw or Miter Saw
-Stud Finder
-Level
-Caulk
-Sandpaper
-2x4's if covering a half wall
We like using 1/2 inch MDF, it's not too heavy and not too expensive. We routed all of the edges and sides which allowed us to butt the boards against right up against each other and still give a shiplap look - almost like tongue and groove but much more affordable. Using MDF can be messy, especially when using a router. Sawdust gets everywhere! We usually cut our boards for shiplap to be 7 inches wide but decided to cut the boards for this wall at 11 inches wide to save a little time on this project. We always like to remove the baseboards before starting and we work from the bottom up.
I wanted a clean, seamless look but ultimately decided I didn't want to put in the work to create that look. It would involve a lot of caulking and sanding and that was not something I was interested in. In order to create a pattern that would not look busy but would still look clean , Curtis used he same 3 cuts and rotated placement on the walls. We also cut the ends at a 45 degree angle and this helped the boards fit together really well and look seamless on the edges.
I'm often asked how I'm able to complete so much so quickly. We plan out our projects 100% from start to finish and we gather all the materials we need so we can work, work, work as much as possible without stopping. My husband works really fast and is great about at not stopping until it's done. If I am not tending to the kids then I am working right along side him. For this project, I spent several hours routing the boards for the shiplap so he could work on the rest of the project. We work really well together and pretty quickly with only minimal fighting :)
I can't wait to share the finished product with you, so check back next week for the reveal!

I have just recently had my stuck Bitcoin assets removed from my account with a certain investment platform on Facebook, thanks to JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE. The man who dealt with my case was awesome. Initially when I decided to look for any tangible solution I didn’t imagine Digital Assets Recovery Firm would be the answer. I have never worked with hackers before but desperate times they say calls for desperate measures and I also had a very good feeling in the firms capabilities to accurately handle my case as they have done so many times in the past for his clients. I first ventured into cryptocurrency investment in 2021 with a friend as an investment into the future, the potential of cryptocurrency is limitless but unfortunately, this also has its downside. Initially, I was hoarding my cryptocurrency assets on Blockchain and making slow but consistent profits. However, I decided to register with a cryptocurrency trading company earlier this year with the purpose of accumulating more bitcoins, which nearly resulted in a massive loss for me. Shortly after investing over 700,000 usd with the company, they suddenly shutdown their website and abruptly cut off all means of communication with me. I felt betrayed and unable to eat properly for almost a month. The pain of losing my hard-earned money so quickly was overwhelming, and I couldn’t stop blaming myself for trusting a superficially legitimate company without conducting thorough research. It was during this period that I thought about doing some research’s online for solution, I came across reviews about a crypto recovery firm ‘’JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE" that has experience in helping individuals recover their digital assets and improve their financial situation. I contacted them through their Telegram username @ JETHACKSS and provided them with details of the investment I had made with the scammers. They assured me that my case would be accurately handled. 2 days later I got a message from the team that my funds had been successfully recouped which was confirmed immediately I opened my wallet to my greatest surprise, this single act resurrected my life for good and am forever grateful to the team for their invaluable help.
I had a very terrible Experience with a scam cryptocurrency investment platform. It all started when I got a message from a trader on my Telegram who told me about their crypto investment platform and all its benefits for crypto newbies. They assured me of a decent fixed ROI on every of my investment weekly which got me really interested, the idea of a secondary source of income appealed to me because I was closing in on retirement and I haven’t got enough savings to last me for when I have retired. I ended up investing a total of $108,000.00 worth of bitcoin over the period of 3 months with assurances of successful withdrawals upon request which I did a few successful trial withdrawals in the first month. However the third withdrawal didn’t go as expected and when I reached out to support I was instructed to clear some fees first which my referrer also confirmed it was safe, long story cut short.. I cleared 4 different fees but still did not receive my funds.. but they kept asking for more money so I realized that I was being scammed. I couldn’t afford to lose my life savings, that would be the end of me. I was devastated and depressed for days before eventually deciding to research online situations like mine luckily I might find something positive and that was how I came across reviews about J E T H A C K S RECOVERY CENTRE. I read several impressive reviews about them from various scam victims and how the firm has helped them in recovering their stolen or lost crypto assets so I decided to contact them for help. Fortunately the team lived up to his reputation, it was on the third day when I got a deposit confirmation on my blockchain wallet which I checked and confirmed, I couldn’t have been more happier. You can also contact J E T H A C K S RECOVERY CENTRE as they are capable of helping you retrieve back whatever you may have lost to online investment scammers.
