Do you have a room that you just can’t easily fit sheetrock into? Maybe the room is upstairs and the stairs take a funny angle. Maybe it’s a weird ceiling. I don’t know. Well, actually I do know. I just had this problem. It was an upstairs room in which only 4′x4′ pieces of sheetrock could make it up the stairway. We could have got them in through an upstairs window, but that would’ve required carrying an 8′x4′ piece up a ladder (NOT easy) or using a boom lift (lumber yard said the cable lines were in the way). So it was down to the 4′x4′ sheets, right? Wrong. Better idea. Tongue and groove pine boards. Inexpensive and they look great. This small den area with 45 degree walls suddenly has more character then any room in the house. In the end, it will have taken about the same amount of time and if the wood is found on sale it can be very similarly priced.
