    I was exhausted by the end of it - you did so much work and it turned out great!

    What a lot of work and the mess to live with while you are doing it! Turned out great and I love the baby's room as well.

    Not the cheapest option but it looks kind of neat! Also a bit more durable than drywall with the kids.
    Thanks! We enjoy it! Wish I had done it sooner!

    Plywood strips made a real nice kitchen floor at a buddies place. Looks great for the walls also. Great job.
