I'm going with lite color paneling and white vinyl ceiling......so maybe it won't be so dark inside..............

Has anyone done this as a drip edge over the doors?.........its treated 2X4, thats angle cut from the middle to nothing on the ends.....don't know, just an idea...........

Lookin good! I think you will find the drip edge from the RV place is pretty cheap and I don't know about a wood one... Mine works----sort of...Seems water drips off it too.... :oops:

I think that drip edge idea looks cute and different. :thumbsup:

Lloyd i would make sure you retreat the cut portion of the treated wood. You can buy it at the big box stores and it just brushes on. My experience has been a lot of times when you cut treated would you cut off the treated portions of the board. I like the design

For the ceiling I used 1/8 inch thick textured vinyl like is used in bath rooms.....I have white plastic caps that snap over the screws
