    Some pics and basic info:

    http://www.maple-grove.com/raised.htm

    A much larger selection of pics, as well a project (materials) estimator. Send your measurements and they'll ship you a room's worth of "semi-custom" wainscoting:

    Hope this helps...

    EDIT: to correct link

      Those are nice links, by chance do you know how to add them to my address book?

      Not trying to bud in here just wondering.

      Thanks

        Doug,

        First attempt would be to place the mouse cursor over the link you want too bookmark and right click on that link. That should create a drop-down menu. Scroll down and you should see an "Add to Favorites" selection in that menu.  Left click on "Add to Favorites" and the page should be bookmarked.

        If that doesn't work...

        If you place the cursor over the link you should be able to right-click on the link to create a drop-down menu. Scroll down and left-click on "copy shortcut". Then open up your address book for a new entry, left cllick to get the cursor in the URL address box, then right click to again open another drop down menu. This time left click on "paste" to insert the link into your address book.

        If that doesn't work...

        An alternative would be to simply go to the desired web page and do whatever you have to do in order to "Add Top Window To Favorite Places". The steps to do that depend on your ISP, though.

        Let me know if that doesn't work, we can try to figure something else out.

          Thanks, the first way worked, the right click and "add to favorites."

          Sometimes I think that CS degree that I got way back in the day, is of no good to me.

          Again Thanks

          Doug

          It does not have anything to do with the ISP.

          Only with the browser.

            Bill, you are correct.

            Doug, glad it worked for you.

       It depends what you want.  There is bead board or even ply bead board that you can put a cap on.  Or you can go to a millwork or cabinet shop and have some very elaborate raised panel work done.   We've also used some reversed tongue and groove flooring and cap with the V showing for wainscot.   Lattice applied to veneer ply in one of many different patterns is another idea.  Raised panel doors laid on there side.

      If you go with the plywood "beadboard"  make sure you get stain grade regarldess if you are painting it or not.  Recently recieved some, and I am guessing it was meant for a porch ceiling or something, but the stuff was ROUGH and each individaul strip between the beads had to be filled and sanded before it could be painted.  At the very least inspect eash piece carefully.  View ImageGo Jayhawks
