CFPL TV Chronicles: Barnboard Bonanza – A Stylish Misadventure
In the swinging sixties, when barnboard was the epitome of chic, my TV comrade Don Mortenson and I hatched a plan to transform our living spaces into rustic retreats. Armed with enthusiasm and a trailer hitched to Mort's trusty vehicle, we embarked on a journey to my grandfather's farm, where an old barn awaited its date with destiny.
As we arrived at the once-majestic barn, now weathered and leaning towards retirement, Mort and I exchanged knowing glances. This, we believed, was our ticket to rec room glory. With gratitude to my grandfather echoing in the air, we set to work salvaging the aged barnboard, envisioning the cozy transformation that awaited our homes.
The trailer, once empty, now groaned under the weight of our newfound treasure. Little did we know that our barnboard bonanza would soon take an unexpected turn. I gleefully redecorated my parent's basement bar area, meticulously placing the weathered wood to create a rustic haven that screamed sixties chic.
However, our rustic dreams soon met a buzzing reality. Unbeknownst to us, the aged barnwood brought with it an unintended entourage – a swarm of bugs that had called the wood home for longer than we could fathom. Our attempts at stylish redecoration inadvertently transformed our homes into bug-friendly habitats.
As the bugs made their presence known, our once-stylish retreats became battlegrounds in the war against the unexpected infestation. Mort and I, in our pursuit of barnboard bliss, found ourselves armed not with chic decor but with bug spray and rolled-up newspapers.
The lesson learned? Fashionable transformations sometimes come at an unforeseen cost. My parent's basement bar, once a haven of rustic charm, became a battleground between man and insect, a tale that echoed through the annals of CFPL TV Chronicles with a chuckle and a cringe.
So, dear readers, join me in raising a toast to the barnboard bonanza – a stylish misadventure that left us not only with chic decor but also with a story that buzzed through the years. In the next installment, we'll unravel more tales from the vibrant and occasionally buggy world of CFPL TV's past.

My prompt:
Back in the sixties barnboard was fashionable in rec rooms and dens even kitchens etc.. My TV friend Don Mortenson wanted some too and had a trailer so Mort and I went to my grandfather's farm which had a long since collapsed old barn and thanked my grandfather after loading up. I redecorated my parent's bar area in the basement and caused an infestation of bugs from the old wood.
