Friends,
You remember this, don’t you?
Now it looks like this…
More paneling. You’ve gotta love that, don’t you? Maybe not. I had a big pile of shiplap style, so I used that. What’s shiplap? This.
Naturally, I ran out well before I was done and it wouldn’t be easy to get more. Not from the locals anyway. I went to the hardware store and the proprietor said this:
“Shiplap? We don’t carry that. That’s flatlander wood. We only have tongue and groove. That’s what we use up here.
I can think of other things to be a bigot about. Superman vs. Batman. Regular Oreos vs. Double-Stuf. But millwork? Hill people versus those “down below?” What else might they do down there? Who can say!
I’ve gotta look into this. I think I’ve hit a nerve…
