Currently we are renting the house where we live. Unfortunately the entire kitchen is currently 2 colors of mismatched dark wood paneling and very outdated and needless to say, ugly. The previous tenant left behind a whole bunch of still new paint from when she did most of the remodeling in the rest of the house. Our landlords are pretty cheap and won't pay us or take money off our rent for doing any updating to the house. But they don't really care what we do to it. I am not going to hire someone to do the job, but I am disabled enough not to have the strength in my arms to sand the paneling as pretty much everyone says is required. I also couldn't handle breathing the dust from it (yeah I would wear a mask but it takes days for dust to settle) does anyone here know if it would be okay if I just used a primer like KILZ first? The paneling is pretty old and the varnish is worn away anyhow, I don't think that the KILZ would have a problem sticking to it, personally. Any other ideas? Thx
