I own a 50 year old house and one room (11' X 24') is covered in tongue and groove knotty pine. The previous owner oiled the walls every 3 months. My question is: can I prime and paint these walls as they have been oiled or is it just as easy to take the wood down and sheetrock the room. I have no idea what is behind the wood. I myself haven't oiled the walls in the 3 years that I have lived here. The wood is on the dark side after being oiled for years. The only thing that saves the room is the 10' windows on either end otherwise it would seem like a cave. Thanks
