So we are slowly rebuilding the outer walls because the siding is flaking away. (Ants, cockroaches, crickets found the glue tasty.) This problem has resulted in water damage to the 2x4s that make the wall. We don't have a lot of money so this project will take most of the remaining summer to complete as we can only afford to do about four panels (4x8ft) a week. We are also replacing the wiring as we go, that is adding lots of expense.
My son had bought me replacement windows for my bedroom after one was broken last winter. We decided only one window was needed in the bedroom and then changed the location of the window to have the light where we needed it. This has made the room more comfortable.
Now comes the question. It turns out the interior paneling has also taken damage and is crumbling when we try to remove it. So we need to replace it. Dry wall is _not_ an option. Conditions are too damp to use dry wall. I hate dry wall anyway, but I am not real keen on installing new paneling of any type. Any suggestions? I have considered hanging plywood and just painting it.
