If you plan to panel both walls and ceiling is it best to put on ceiling panels first. A few tips on 'how to handle fir p';rwood ceil- ing panels are illustrated here.

Blocking between the joists is also recommended at four foot intervals to provide additional! nailing surfaces. With joists on two foot cen- tres and blocking on four foot centres, the 4 x 8 foot plywood panels will then" meet on solid nailing surfaces.
