Adios Wood Paneling

[FATHERFORD]

Maybe I'm weird, but I liked your wood paneling from the pictures I saw. Much better then bland textured sheetrock.

My sheetrock looked worse than that when we took the picture window paneling down. But that still looks pretty bad. Will save a ton of time if you just throw up the 1/4" sheetrock over that instead of filling/sanding that crap. Plus, like I told you with ours, When filling it only made the paper pull away from the rock more, and ripple. I worked on one spot for a couple hours before I said fuck this and went to get all new 1/4" sheetrock.

that actually brings up a good question, I think when paneling goes up, the builder uses 1/4" sheet rock vs. the 1/2". If you 1/4" under there, I'd look into replacing that, and if needed, insulate behind there while your at it.

It actually isn't bad at all Brent. There's only 4-5 panels in the whole room that had any type of glue. The rest will just be taped, mudded, and sanded (by a professional). Then textured, and painted. They don't think it'll take much time at all to knock that room out.

My walls are the same., we just painted them two tone. Looks REALLY good!

I like the detail of the wood and the fact that they clean really easy.

Are you putting in the floors or having them installed? Engineered wood right?

That's almost exactly the same handscraped flooring I've got in my master bedroom Matt. I like it a LOT, but it shows dust and dog hair quickly. The old house had it throughout and it was such a pain to keep clean, but looked so good when it WAS clean I decided just to put it in one bedroom in this one. lol Shit that looks like a lot of work. I would have painted it. lol

Having them installed, yeah handscraped engineered hardwood.

I pulled wood paneling of a wall in my living room years ago and lucked out. It was all textured underneath and ready for paint minus one hole they knocked out for a electrical outlet.

Glue down I hope? I just installed our kitchen and dining room. You'll save a shit ton by doing it yourself. Use the Bona System for care and cleaning.

I just went back and looked through the pics of our panel painting project. It was a long process but I'm glad I did it.

We had a water heater leak and insurance is paying to replace the flooring in the entire house. Every room except the bathrooms and kitchen are wood, so all if it is getting replace.

Nice

guys are here taping and mudding today, hoping to have the texture up tomorrow or Monday

Then get the floors put in the following week.

Man when we moved in our living room was all wood paneling. I decided to pay a guy before we moved to rip it all out. I am glad I didn't wait since it was apparently put in when the house was built. I had zero finished edges and two rafters that actually went into the attic. It does look a lot better now.
