I remove the wood paneling to find... More wood!
Comments (2)Don't know where you live, but I think you will greatly improve the energy efficiency of your house if you only focus on the attic and windows. We don't have insulation in most of our walls and when we improved the weather stripping around windows and doors last year, we cut our winter heating bills alot. We're in the Midwest. I wouldn't worry about the walls. Please don't say you live near the Arctic Circle!...See MoreRemoving wood paneling to fix pipe?
Comments (5)Going through the brick wall (especially if it is brick veneer only one brick thick) is liable to be far less destructive than cutting into you paneling. Removing a few bricks look hard but is actually not that bad. A few holes drilled around the bricks in the mortar, then clearing with a plugging chisel, should free the bricks without damaging them. You may need to find a local mason who can match the mortar to put everything back together. Local sand has a lot to do with what color the mortar is in many cases....See MoreAsking for advice on dark wavy-edge bevel panels in den
Comments (17)I'd either keep it as it is and embrace the quirky space, or remove it all and drywall. It seems that your asthetic is light and more modern based on your other room. You can likely sell the boards if you remove them carefully. Do you know if the vertical beams are structural or just applied on top of something else? I'd have it looked at first before you start with any removal....See MoreHelp! removed old wood paneling. what kind of material is this?
