Especially as imported sheet rock has modern-day complaints. (And that 8-inch knotty pine panels are
so expensive to buy!)
Over the years, my knotty pine panels have endured a few ice-dam roof leaks—leaks that would have totally destroyed drywall. (Which would have necessitated repeated insurance claims—raising everyone else's premiums!)
I do see an opportunity, though.
Discarded knotty pine panels could be restored to original by running them through a
Craigslist planer and resold.
