Knotty Pine Walls – What a Difference!
What a difference! Most of the knotty pine is up on the walls with only the stairwell to go. The rooms seem bigger and brighter to me and I’m very happy with the work. The mill where I got the wood often has Spruce and Pine mixed together so the contractor separated the Spruce and used it all in one bedroom. There really isn’t much of a difference to the Pine and Spruce. The Spruce looks a little lighter and the knots are smaller, but that’s about it. I like it.
The next step is for the contractor to finish the job and for me to stain it all. I’m going to go with a clear coat non-yellowing polyurethane. I’m trying to determine if I’m going to brush, roll, or spray it on. Brushing seems like it will take too long, rolling will create too many bubbles, I think, and spraying seems complicated. So we’ll see what happens.
I would have started staining this past week, but when I got to the cottage I found water in the basement and one of the pipe joints at the water pump broken. At some point during the week the connection from the pressure tank to the pump broke and sprayed water all over the place. I spent most of my Saturday replacing the plastic joint pieces with galvanized steel and trying to get the pump primed again. Then I had to clean up the basement which was full of soggy wet stuff. Nothing ever seems to go to plan when I go to the cottage. Anyway I got all of that done and found that my pump isn’t building up enough pressure to shut off. I opened it up to find the impeller cracked and needs to be replaced. I’m sure that means at least half a days work and water everywhere again.
I think in a week or two we will see a big change in the appearance of the cottage as we start into the finishing projects, flooring, cabinets, and plumbing. I’ll keep you updated.
it is realy fun, i like it
No, seriously,
i love it! thank you for sharing
your cribs looks amazing!
Knotty pine paneling is a classic old way of dressing up interior walls, reminiscent of a time when the interior surfaces of walls actually were made of wood rather than plaster or sheetrock.
.what does that mean? does he only want to be friends or more than that but just not at this moment? and also when i speak to him again what would be a good way to suggest we go out again? thanks!!!!

My living room is beautiful knotty pine. I hate to paint it or replace it—but it is so dark. Will whitewashing ruin the value? How do I do it?
With knotty pine walls it looks more like a finished project. BTW how far it is from the lake, it seem like you can see the lake through the windows so is it about 50-100 ft. away?
the end we really satisfied with it. I feel like we have done a very great job =)
The knotty pine wall is still very design for the houses.
Nice post.thanks for sharing this nice information.it is really good post.
This is such an interesting post. You never failed to amaze me in every article that you wrote. Thanks for sharing.
I used to be, and for good reason…the are transandental portals to the world of water retention and thick legs….I got over it when i was younger becuase I realized, being a guy…this was not a problem for me…but I would certainly be worried if I were a girl…not because of the notty pine, but becuase I would not be pretty….
I am definitely afraid of them. One time a knotty pine wall just attacked me for no reason at all. He looked into my eyes and said “I am going to lam the lard out of you.” I replied with “well we shall see about that one”.
It will be worth the trouble, trust me. And you’ll still those knots bleeding through. Just remember, primer nor paint can stick to a smooth, non-porous surface very wel. You have to provide some adhesion to have any success.
Working for ourselves and that is in our homes is really a great experience.
i wonder using of knotty pine increase expense of the cottage . Because that material is very expensive.
What a nice wall. I love it.
what made you decide for the clear coat non-yellowing polyurethane?

Pine wood for walls is a classic. I’m sure the outcome will be fantastic; I suggest you use brush and rollers all the way. This can generate more ambiance to you place, though I’m not against spray painting also.

GO ahead with your project and I wish you lucks. Hope everything goes well. And consider using brushing technique for the coating, it is time-consuming but it will give better results than the other two techniques.
