    Yes. You can buy secret nail clips which fit over the tongue and are nailed to the purlins. The clip is then hidden by the groove mating with the tongue. Cheap as chips at any hardware store.

    G'day.
    It can be done.
    Drill and hand nail at 45 deg just above the tongue. Then punch the nail home to allow the next board to fit.
    It will be slow going.
    Over the christmas break I lined the inside walls of my shed with 80x12mm Select Spotted Gum T&G flooring. One board at a time was slow going as the boards had to be screwed to the tophats and nailed to 70x35mm pine screwed to the columns. Took 2 days to do 9m long by 3 metre high. Looked good when finished. Then painted it all white.
    Hooroo.

    Besides, The missus wants to have a shadow board for the tools.
    And white makes inside the shed brighter.

    Nope. I seen to be doing more and more work in steel and Ali lately.
    The only woodwork has been lining the shed and making shelving for same.
    Installing drawers and stuff.

    BTW...I love my GMC thicknesser, Turns crap pallet timber into usable material in notime.
    Hooroo.

    Did you pay for the Spotted Gum T&G that you painted white?
    Why didn't you just line the walls with Gyprock, malamine, or Ply, easier to paint white, and cheaper too i would imagine?

    G'day Hornet.
    I am a Hardwood flooring manufacturer. That is what I do.
    It was all 80x12 T&G that had a slight profile error. The cover width varied by 0.35mm. So it was unable to be sold.
    So i got it at no cost.

    All the left over timber (approximately 400 L/M) I have given to my neighbour so he can do the same thing in his shed.

    As I said before, when you are around Hardwood all day every day, you get sick of seeing it.
    Hooroo.
