I don't buy it either. It's a sad day when our so called law makers have it set up so a store can be sued for selling a tool to someone who was incompetent to use it, and the same store can be sued for refusing to sell it, as well. Too many laws, too many lawyers. -Original Message-

I wouldn't do it but it will depend on how you are going to attach the wall paneling. A 2 by 4 on the flat will have a lot of spring in the middle. It will be almost impossible to drive nails. If you are planning to use screws it may not be so bad. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S. Email:
