Back in the day I worked from DIY manuals, including a very good Readers

Is my memory playing tricks or did one vintage of this manual show you how
cover a panelled interior door with plywood (or quite possibly hardboard),


Might be I remmerb my dad doing it, he also did the same to the stairs regarding
covering up the banistars.

while a later vintage told you how to restore a door that had had such
an atrocity perpetrated on it?


Well he never got around to that.
