Memories of paneled walls

[JustDave]

Wood paneling was an upgrade. The 1st couple of houses when I was growing up had some kind of thin wallboard that had taped seams and then just painted.

This reminds me of a rental house I lived in for awhile. It was back when I was working my way through school living month to month. Somebody had probably built the rental unit themselves. I don't know if it was sheet rock or some kind of insulated board. It was taped, but unfinished. Someone mudded the tape and applied it to the seams, but never blended it into a continuous wall or ceiling, which is the part that takes the skill. The tape showed right through the paint.

My childhood bedroom had brown pecky cypress walls. Knots and holes in it. I liked it.
