I'm trying to decide what to do with the basement (late 70's)
paneling--it's either a quick sand and paint or drywall? Opinions?
The house will be sold within the next year or two.

I think I've got the same paneling in the basement of a house I plan to
own
for a good while. I'm going with the sand and paint option. I've seen it
done before, and if you sand adequately and use a decent primer, the
result
is nice.


Save both of you some work. A through washing with a stong soap (like TSP),
quality primer and paint. Beats the hell out of sanding any day.
