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.

Aw man. If you weren't selling it, I'd say leave it alone. In 5 years it
will be all the rage; and if you can find some avacado appliances and shag
carpet - you'd probably get triple your asking price.

You all think I'm being a smartass - I can hear you whispering!.....

But just wait, watch, and see.

Lol!

Thanks for all the replies and laughs! I still haven't decided what
to do, but I've got all the input I need to make the decision.

Darryl.
