Hi Guys:

I will be starting on this tomorrow. Darryl's Model is painted gray and dry-brushed with white and looks rather weathered. My Moonshiner has been at it for years and his wife just wouldn't put up with a house that looked like that. So I'm gona change the coloring and make look nice.

Geez.  Can all you guys be younger than me?  Or, is it a money thing?  Newspaper wallpaper was often found in older structures in the northeast.  I remember visiting a friend about 40-45 years ago and the second bedroom in his apartment was wallpapered with newspaper. I've also seen it in some historic homes preserved as museums.

Ya mean actual wallpaper made to look like newspaper?  Gah.  So what was a poor persons method of reducing drafts through the walls is now a "thing"?

Hey Jerry:

I think I read on the internet that it was popular in Appalachia.

Hey Bob D:

I believe they used actual newspapers.

One of the great exhibits at Strawberry Banke in Portsmouth NH is a duplex that has 1950s on one side against 1840s (if I remember right) on the other side.  When we can get out again, we need to go back to Strawberry Banke and revisit that place.
