Take down tongue and groove boards in ceiling

[Derbyboy]

I would need to take down some raw wood panels in the ceiling to redo the wiring.

Can I take down a section with raw wood panels and insert some form of board when I'm done?

Yes, you can do that. You don't even need to replace it if you don't want to, I assume you're going to install drywall or something else as a ceiling? However, any sawdust will fall down, and if it's against the wind, it should be replaced in some way.

Thank you so much!

There are regular insulation pieces (between the roof beams) above. The house is from '74.

I was thinking of installing those ceiling tiles with a small seam. The ceiling moves a bit, so I probably won't be able to do gypsum without cracks.

Just tear down the tongue and groove so you get channels to lay your pipes in, the problem is that it's probably 12.5 mm tongue and groove, if you're lucky it's thicker, the pipes are 16 mm outside, but you can chisel out a few mm in the truss, when you want to go across, you push the pipes above the existing tongue and groove. Another thing is that now there are 15 mm pipes and boxes, it's fine to splice with 16 pipes and equivalent coupling and tape well on the 15 side of the coupling so it doesn't come apart, a 16 coupling wobbles on 15 pipes.

Thanks! The råspont is somewhere between 19-22 m.

Thanks for the tip with the muffen.

Then it will be perfect with 16-pipe and attaching these to the roof trusses.
