| We have a cottage in Connecticut that was built in the 1930's or 1940's. The ceilings need to be painted.
BUT. The ceilings are made of panels. Four feet by ten feet. A few years ago, we had to replace one, and we were told that these panels are actually a kind of heavy cardboard, popular at the time. The guy told us the name of this material, this cardboard -- but now I can't remember what he called it. Does anyone know? Thanks --

| Thanks, Sacto! A poster over on the home decorating forum suggested that they might be Homasote, which is the word I was trying to remember. But the article on Beaver-board was fascinating! Thanks! |
