Ok, thank you so much everyone for the info, Dextraneous you made me laugh but unfortunately I love my man despite his mistakes. Wish I'd done it myself as I would have found out and made sure I knew what to do first. The greatness of hind sight. Looks like he's cost himself much more work...

Here's one side of the garage so you have an idea how long each piece is.

Hope this shows clearly enough what he has done, the photos are the way up and the side he has put it on.

I'll try to upload some pictures tomorrow. Each piece of ship lap is about 8ft in length and 4" in width. He's nailed the top and bottom of each piece to attach it to the ship lap above and below. The nails are every 5" or so as you go along.

He's used nails across the top and bottom of each piece of wood through the tongue and grooves.

It is tongue and groove, he has done it so that the lip of the wood (the tongue) faces up and so if rain gets in the gap it can't go in and down to the inside of the garage but in and out. I could attach a photo if you need it.

Thank you for responding. Yes it has been treated and it is flat on the outside the way my partner has done it. Any idea how much it will reduce the lifespan of the wood with water getting in the gaps?

My other half has been replacing and rebuilding the garage, he has used concrete blocks for the bottom half and ship lap for the top half of all the walls. Just found out he's put the ship lap the wrong way with the inside facing the outside. What effect will this have on the garage?
