basement

[Robert D.]

if you come across wood panelling in the basement...when a standard is nice drywall finish ...would you install 1/4 drywall on top of the panelling or rather demo it and start with the regular drywall ? I think drywalling on top of panelling would be cheaper and much faster

would you know if that electric panel would need replacement ? i think it should be at least 100amps thanks

Quick/cheap would be to lay it over.

Given that it's a basement, I'd be inclined to pull the paneling and use the opportunity to ensure nothing bad is going on behind those walls.
