If your wife is just tired of looking at hundred year old cypress boards then when don't you just get a few rolls of white contact paper and put it on like wall paper and then when your wife comes to her senses and says,"WHAT DID I DO!", nothing will be lost. You can just peel off the paper and wash off the glue and oil up those nice cypress planks.
It takes hours for the workers to use utility knives to split the sheets in half. They they have to coat the bare sides with duct tape from top to bottom. This stuff is often used by rednecks in their trailer houses for several reasons.
8 Thinner drywall means less debries to clean up when rednecks burn down their trailer court.
I know all of this from personal experience !!!
Paint it. Stain it. Who needs drywall, you havnt figured in finishing it . Figure 4-6x the cost of the drywall, it is work.
You must be a candy ass if you have trouble holding 1/2" sheet rock while your buddy screws it to the wall. I just finished sheetrocking the walls in a 12x21 basement rec room, with 1/2" sheetrock, _by_myself_, in two afternoons.
And I'm not exactly Arnold Schwarzenegger, either: 5'9", 160 lb, size 42 suit.

Nobody ever left footprints in the sands of time by sitting on his butt. And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time?
He means that to do paneling properly, you need to put drywall up first, behind it, and panel over the drywall, instead of just fastening the panels to bare studs.

No, this was retail, at Home Depot. $30.90, to be exact. Same price at Lowes, and a dollar higher at Menard's.

1/4" is kind of a specialty type of drywall, like the WR and firecode, so it is often higher than 1/2", which is most commonly used. 1/4" is only good for covering old plaster or drywall, (and for bending purposes like barrel vaults) and is way too flimsy for direct stud attachment.
Try pricing 1/2" - I've always found it to be cheaper than paneling.
