Work Day at the Lodge! We were putting up new paneling on a brick wall when were renovating the basement at our ski lodge. At first we just wanted to panel just one wall but we had extra paneling so we thought we might be able to panel two walls. So we needed to figure out if we had enough paneling to cover all of the second wall. The first wall took 5 sheets of paneling and was 60 feet long. The second wall is 50 feet long.
Answer: • We will need to have at least 5 more panels to cover the second wall.
