I'm installing pine shiplap panelling in my basement vertically. Right now it is a cool and dry space. Should I be butting these panels up against each other tightly or should I be leaving an expansion space between each panel? I'm nailing and cementing each panel to drywall and studs when I can but not to each other. Thanks.

The pine will expand if the humidity in your basement changes with the seasons. How much movement?? depends on what the moisture cotent is when you install it.
