Question:
I would like to do the catherdral ceiling in my cottage with T&G Pine boards. Any tips?
Answer:
Yes, make very sure that you have a good, continuous vapour barrir under the insulation and that you have at least an inch of clear air space above the insulation. After that, you just have be sure you have a baffled ridge vent on the roof and if you have good soffit vents, you should have no problems.
