Re: [DIY] Just joined for various advice

 

I have seen several old school houses that had been revamped into homes and some have been good and others not so good.  Hope you plan on sharing photos of your efforts.  What do you have for a surface under the paneling that you are removing?  If you are left with a relatively smooth surface after the paneling has been removed, have you considered "Felting" as opposed to rocking?  Felting only adds about 1/16 to 1/8 inch to the walls surface and avoids the necessity of adjusting the trim around the doors and windows.  It is also called "wall liner" and can be applied over paneling to provide a smooth surface for either painting or wall papering.  Here is one site you might investigate.

Currently working on a bedroom pulling the old paneling off the walls. I guess paneling is a thing of the past so ill be rocking it. First obstacle I notice I have to retrim the windows because of the sheetrock thickness. Joy. The woodwork is trashed anyhow.
