Subject: Re: [BP] Beaverboard
It's legit question time again, and it seems to me this is
something of a repeat of a discussion some time ago.
Has anybody got any idea when beaverboard began being
manufactured, and when its production stopped?
In a case I'm working on here in
Although similar to homasote, the beaverboard here is
marginally harder than homasote, but nowhere close to Masonite; it also has a
tan/brown color reminiscent of corrugated cardboard, and you can see the little
flakes of sawdust or whatever other lumber byproducts were used to make it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine when this
basement stair enclosure was constructed, with the ultimate goal of determining
when the house was converted from single family occupancy to 2 family.
Thanks.
