Ok- so I have some ceiling panels all shellacked and ready to install. Yahoo! Today I got poplar for the roof rafters and plan to use Liquid Wrench to adhere the panels first (before install).
This is the original key sheet (with roof vent opening)
The original ceiling panels are all 36" wide. My new ones are 48" wide. So, I will need to do some reconfiguring of the roof framing.
Questions:
1) There was of course a rafter on both sides (long ends) of this sheet to attach seam to. There was not another one on the side of the vent opening- just the one pictured. Is it best to add one there for more support? Am I making sense? lol
2) I thought the cabinets were screwed into these rafter boards- but most of the screws into the top of the cabinets was just through the birch panels. That seems so weak. Should I add some more framing into the roof where the cabinets attach?
3) For all other rafters- how far apart is best? one on each long end , but how many in between?
Hope I am making sense.
Thanks
Kathy
