I do not want to put paneling back up Stucco will improve the look and not restrict moisture migration. You don't want to put a product on the walls that seals it so moisture is trapped. Stucco is a good choice. There will be a learning curve to the application. __________________ Ron "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." B.
