Trying to poot tongue and groove paneling on my attic walls/roof. The house is really old and the roof is bulged out on one section and isn't very level.

Is it still possible to get tongue and groove wood paneling or drywall on these walls? What is the proper way to do this without building a new roof?

I keep a sachel is shims in my garage for odds and ends like this. I've never done it before, but take some shimming wood and space it between the panels and the studs where you put your fasteners.

I considered that, but it would require a lot of shims...

put drywall, screw it to the rafters

Then cut full length shims out of studs

Rip some furring strips out of a 2x board and build up the low joists. When I used to remodel kitchens we would just go heavy on the strips and hit them with a power planer afterward

I see. And I'm guessing I'd need to nail them in? Or would screws also work?

You're not competent for this project.

Yes I know, but I'm trying to learn.

We would use PL adhesive and a finish nailer

>roof is bulged out on one section and isn't very level.

I'd diagnose why there's a bulge first. Broken or rotted joist? That will need replacing or reinforcing. That's the time to jack it back up level. If it's just warped but otherwise OK, you will need to put furring strips on the high joists.

Too bad someone sprayed in insulation to hide the structure.
