cheap and easy garage decor

Your wallboard when I was a kid was known commonly as "Packiboard" as it was made by the then "Pack River Lumber Comany." I never heard such terms as OSB until perhaps after I was out of the navy. That stuff was made as early as 1957? or before in the small area where I grew up.

"Back then" there used to be an old truck driver with (heavy smoker) emphysema who was a ham operator. He and friends had built an entire "cabin" out of 2X6 "mill ends" laid FLAT and nailed together to form double walls, with dirt between. The entire interior of the thing was "tastefully" done in "packiboard" The official name was "tenex"
