Another one bites the dust. I love those old panneling rooms.

[@mzbaddog3271]

I will be buying some of that compound after work. my front room looks hideous with all the wood paneling! thank you for the video!

[@Anthonybuening]

Good luck it’s a fun little project

[@kirkhall2099]

Having done this before. You are going to see the lines based on what I have seen on this vid. Especially when light hits and shadows. Need more than one coat to do it right. The seems where the panels butt up have to be glued and secured properly because of expansion and contraction. Or they well crack over time. Its a ton of work to do it right. But if your a novice at sheet rock. Might be the way to go. Dont need to remove paneling. Do not run your hand up and down to feel if it is smooth. Run hand horizontally. Then you well see just how bad it really feels. lol . If you have sheetrock experience. Just do it that way. More professional looking when completed and quicker.

Never seen anyone not use a roller.

[@christinsley3736]

Not knocking you but man drywall panels are like 13 bucks a pop, it would have been so much easier and faster with a better finish, also need some oil based primer before paint.

[@Anthonybuening]

You are exactly right I guess I live and learn

[@anthonypruitt2068]

Plus tape, mud, screws, lol.

[@raquelocasio8588]

Would the paneling need to be removed before installing? If so, I don't see how drywall would be easier.

[@user-ug8sv8lk1k]

Yes but if you drywall you are ripping all that out, plus mud tape and screws. The easiest would be to just prime and paint the paneling and leave the seems for character…Also drywall joints crack and screws eventually pop through… I personally hate drywall..

[@michaelpajewski102]

Nobody uses oil base paint anymore. any good primer will easily handle the job.

Hi Anthony, I’ll be doing something similar in a house that I’m renovating in order to rent it out. The paneling in this house is ridiculous! Rather than that spackle, I’m wondering if Bondo that’s usually used on cars would work better to fill in the cracks? I’m only filling in the top half of the walls, adding molding to appear as chair rail on the bottom half.

[@Anthonybuening]

Yes that would work just fine just be careful when you sand it down and use a good respirator to protect yourself I didn’t use one in this video but I put one on shortly after just make sure you have one on and proper ventilation

[@jaysonbohnert6373]

I swear you're from Indiana, haha. I've got the same stuff in my basement. Interested to see your new flooring install

[@Anthonybuening]

How did you know I was from Indiana? I actually am what part are you from?

[@jaysonbohnert6373]

@@Anthonybuening I'm in southern Indiana. You remind me of an old classmate of mine. I think your accent gave me a hunch

More of the American Eagles, please...

[@tauneynicole8325]

I just did this. It looks horrible. Once the white paint was up you can see all the panels are slightly warped.

[@therivereater]

You really painting that whole wall with a brush?

[@Anthonybuening]

No just the corner and ceiling I used a roller on the rest

[@Anthonybuening]

Let me know if any of you have tried this and what your experience was

[@bueningflyers4834]

Looks like a lot of work

[@jonesconrad1]

Honestly I would have put sheet rock over it and plastered,

[@Anthonybuening]

@@jonesconrad1 it honestly would go a lot quicker doing that I almost considered just hanging drywall because the way I did it is a lot of work

[@jonesconrad1]

@@Anthonybuening it's good to try different things out though, it was a good watch anyway

[@Anthonybuening]

@@jonesconrad1 thank you sir and that’s what I was doing just trying something new merry Christmas to you and your family

[@micheljones5202]

Doing what your doing Will always crack no matter how much you spackle the cracks the only correct way to do it is to drywall tape the joints which it would be less labor intensive to just start over with new drywall I'm a painter and drywall tradesman for 15 years now and one thing i don't use anymore is that crappy pink spackling it is not good stuff at all i just love guys like this making videos on how not to do something lol.

[@craigmansadventures9246]

What if you used paintable caulking, hmmm

[@21fnasser]

Don't do this guys. Remove paneling and add drywall if there isn't any. This is like putting wood on tape

[@VanillaAttila]

I did this on my whole house. 2 years later ripped it out to studs after I got sick from mold in the walls. Better to rip these apart and start fresh!! You don't know what's behind those walls ! Insulation is probably crap too so reinsulate at the same time. Just get the Reno loan to do it. Not worth saving money on this it's your health at stake.

[@Anthonybuening]

Thank you for the info I appreciate it

[@craigmansadventures9246]

Sounds like they were moldy from the get go...? What happened

[@VanillaAttila]

@@craigmansadventures9246 yes they were. Roof issue on top Floor with moisture and rats. Basement was whole other story

[@sew04ss]

Well you had other issues that had nothing to do with just filling in with compound and painting. That would've happened even if you used drywall without correcting the main problem

[@VanillaAttila]

@@sew04ss Yes but doing this you also run into walls cracking. It wasn't too bad, but if you bumped into it between studs where the panel is you'd def get hairline cracks. I did 1000 sqft of it. It works, I just feel like it's only a short term money saver.

[@m7791]

Good god man get a decent quality face mask with air filter - that shit in your lungs will catch up with you!!!!!

[@Anthonybuening]

I know I was actually wearing one most of the time I made a quick video and didn’t have it on you are right though I got in a hurry and should have been wearing it
