The beadboard and the outside siding are different layers of wood, but they're flat against each other with nothing between so it's just a multi-layered wood sandwich. I find it comforting to live inside a solid hunk of wood. Electricians get pretty freaked out when they visit the houses with beadboard walls though. I know a woman who threw an electrician out of her house when she came home to find him covering her walls in that tube covered wiring that they use on cinderblock walls in factories. Many of these houses have some of that running along baseboards and suchlike, but he'd lost his mind entirely with regards to placement and made a crazy meandering maze running halfway round the room before she stopped him.

Oh yeah, the moving thing. We actually planned on moving to Savannah, GA last year. It's enchanting there and we were going through a quarter life crisis or something. We wound up staying here when my charming niece was born and some annoying issues finally resolved themselves. I have to say though, the day we really started doubting the plan came when all the living room trim was finally up and we remembered what we liked about this house in the first place. From that day on we didn't want to leave. I've never actually admitted to my family that I stayed for the crown molding.
