Your porch looks so "homey", very inviting. Love the American Flag on the end wall.

Why the decision to run boards short direction instead of long ways?

I am having my porch remodeled and will be putting up tongue and groove cedar on the ceiling. Wondering if I should leave the cedar untreated or if I should at least seal it. It's protected from the elements so I'm wondering if it needs anything at all. Thinking about putting a clear Ready Seal on it though. Any recommendations?
Your ceiling looks great, very nice job!
We have a carr siding (tongue and groove pine) ceiling, installed in 2018 on the house I built. Stained all the pieces before installation, and all the miters were stained on the cut ends prior to installation as well. It still looks new.

Great job, sir, looks incredible!

Thank you very much for the kind words!

no butt end joints. I went back n forth a bit on that decision but really didn't want all those joints.
I figured so. Mine is 6' 8" from house to header, so will be a good bit of waste to go that direction. I'll still land the ends on joists going long ways, so will have some waste.

You could picture frame it in and then have less than 6' in between. You'd have to put in some blocking though most likely.

That thought has entered my mind, but I think I won't mind the joints.
Course maybe dado out a groove on the picture frame to overlap the ends, that's a thought... I would have to run nailers the other direction to do it also. But I could rip the picture frame edges down to minimize waste, and use 12 footers...
