Home Improvement Asked on June 26, 2021
So I have recently moved into a (new to us) home built in 1948. There was a master bedroom addition that is on the backside of the living room wall which was once exterior and the kitchen wall also once exterior wall. There is paneling over both of the walls.
When we moved into the house we knew we would want to remove the paneling. This week we started to remove the paneling in the living room and were surprised to find the original wall there. Windows and all. So there are old non functioning windows in the living room interior wall.
I’m not sure what we should do. We had planned to hang drywall and have debated on just covering it all and putting the drywall over top. I’m just don’t know what to do and would love some feed back.
Covering the old wall with paneling was a quick and easy way to hide the old wall. I would pull the old windows add some 2x4' in the space so you could attach your sheetrock. Demo of the windows is not that hard if you have a Sawsall then toe nail for the same spacing as the rest of the wall 16 or 24 inch on center.

There are a number of considerations here that need to be looked at to determine the best course of action.
I am sure there are more things that could be added to this list if you could add some pictures to your question.
