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


Slightly before my time but I believe that was down to a DIY expert on a
TV program of the time.

My parents having purchased their first house covered all doors with
hardboard and boxed in the stairs with the same. It was the "modern" 60s
look.

Which in one sense at least means they period features are preserved and
can be uncovered later.
