Back Porch--Before and After
Redwood Beams Interior
This is an interior shot of the beams. I mitered the ends and matched the grains of the wood to make it appear as a solid beam. In addition, the beams were installed before the sheetrock, so that the wall surrounded the beams also making them appear as structural members.
The remaining redwood was cleaned and installed on the ceiling before the beams, taking care to place the joints behind the beams. The result is a beautiful, clean look.
