    Hi Everyone - looking for some advice. I need to get behind some 1/4" wood paneling. It's a long story, but I'm unable to remove the entire 4x8 sheet and I'm hoping to find a very clean method of cutting 48" across, removing the piece of panel, do what I need to do, and then replace it...

    I'm about to to have a single 18K BTU minisplit installed by a contractor. The wall is presently paneled with 70's-era plywood-type paneling. It's probably a little thicker than 1/8". The room is 32x11 with an "L" that's 11x8. I've been going through the house sheetrocking walls and ceilings...

    I have a large room (12'x32') in a house that has paneling that was installed sometime in the 1960's. It's the typical, thin plywood type of paneling. I've been going through the house and putting vertical, TIG, knotty pine boards on the walls, and sheetrocking the ceilings. In the...

    DIYing a room with strange, whitewashed wood paneling that has non-uniform grooves in it. I've plenty of experience with DIY painting with good prep and long-lasting results but I want to be 100% certain with this one since it's completely foreign to me, so I'm asking for advice on/critiques to...
  7. Insulation
    I have furring strips attached directly to the wall in my basement workshop. I'm planning on putting up paneling - I'm not exactly sure what yet and will investigate options. I would prefer not to put drywall under the paneling ... My question - is there any kind of insulation (like foam board)...

    Any ideas on what SIZE of trim I should rip for the seams (corners were there are gaps and mistakes) on this? It's a mahogany (African Mahogany) paneled alcove. I bought two 12' long solid mahogany 2 x 4 lumber to rip to size for the seams. The WIDTH I know but how THICK should it be? 3/4"...

    Hopefully this is the right forum for this; please let me know otherwise. We have a 1931 house with dark wood paneling above the fireplace (now a gas insert). We bought the house in 1992, and have never treated the wood in any way. And it looks like the previous owner may not have either. It...

    I pulled off the paneling in my third bedroom and its plastered underneath, covered in glue and crumbling off in some places. i got most the glue off and planned to just skim coat the whole room with mud because the walls are pretty messed up now, but my friend said to prime first, then mud. he...

    We have some real wood paneling in our living room that I would like to paint. I started to rip it down, but it was glued to the drywall. It was a disaster! Rather then replacing the drywall or laying additional drywall over the paneling I would just like to paint it. I have filled the...

    My husband and I are trying to figure out what to do with our den walls. When we moved in it was partially paneled and partially wallpapered (i.e. 2 1/2 paneled walls, 1 1/2 wallpapered walls), an interesting design choice to say the least. Our first thought was to remove the wallpaper and...
