Hi, We just bought our first home & are overwhelmed by the wood panelling through out the whole house. After reseraching we have found a couple of ways to get rid it
1. Rip it & dry wall again..TOO EXPENSIVE..Out OF BUDGET
Suggestion #2 : Put thin dry wall all over it ( Expensive option)
SUGGESTION # 3: PAINT...easy to do BUT my husband can not stand the grooves between the panels. SO here I am asking for suggestions & recommendations for the material we can use to fill the grooves. Called a few local painters & had different recommendations :
1 Use Durabond 90 sand & paint
2. Use some wood filler..Sand & paint.
What do we use. We are TOTALLY CONFUSED. Is one better than the other ? What abt cracking ? KINDLY HELP.
Thanks
