Im not a pro—hell, Im not even really a hobbyist! I used to build things with my dad when I was younger and we had a dual sliding compound miter saw that I learned to use when I was maybe too young to learn how to use a miter saw.
I like to go down ADHD rabbit holes. And I’ve been seeing a TON of board and batten over the last 5-7 years and I want to know the proper composition and utility for it. But all I can find is cheap DIY projects that are clearly not really board and batten—they are simply people gluing MDF to the wall and thinking it’ll look good in a year (not to mention they aren’t matching trims, and their verticals are hanging over their baseboards). This is infuriating.
So where do I find this info? Isnt their supposed to be a veneer “board” that the verticals and/or horizontals are supposed to “batten”…? I’m so sick of people thinking they are an artist when they are finger painting a coloring book.
I’m not even saying I’d take up doing it, I just want to know.
