Home remodel.

In between fall harvest I am doing this in my spare time, pretty much all myself.

https://pic8.co/sh/vwvZeb.jpg

Replaced insulation with stone wool, installed new vapor barrier, Hung the dry wall, needed help with the ceiling. Taped, mudded, and primed it. So all I have left to do is add the final paint, trim, and flooring.

Than on to the next room. 2 down so far.

It use to have this crappy paneling on the walls. https://pic8.co/sh/ItXxh7.jpg

There were much fancier styles with walnut, mahogany and other interesting wood paneling, designs with the faux boards of varying widths and types to break up the monotony. The paneling pictured was one of the most popular (and affordable) of the day.

I've used some on the back of custom wooden freestanding bookshelves to improve their rigidity. Usually reverse the paneling so the veneer backing is exposed. Stain to match.

Supplies in the Ozarks are limited so I guess they used what was available here.

I made a book case for my (now ex) gf years ago, used a part of a sheet of the fancy walnut paneling on the back for long term rigidity. Really fancy looking stuff. My dad saved leftover materials from the homes he built in the '60s and '70s in his shop, then passed away in the mid '80s. I still find useful materials for my woodworking projects in that wood rack almost 40 years later.

That's awesome. My dad and uncle used to take me to work with them. I learned alot about carpentry before I even started school.
