TB>Diane,

DB}  I like this idea real well.  I was also told about drywall but
sheet rock is something that my neighbor uses when he does his house.
can't or won't do mine even with pay.  feel that hubby should do it but
he knows NOTHING about doing things like this around the house.
paneled entry hall about 20+ yrs. ago and THAT's IT.  lucky to get into
yard work.  I'll suggest that the two guys get together and then maybe
it will get done faster as hubby can learn how and neighbor (already
knowing how) can teach him... thanks again!!
