false chimney breast   
I am about to build a false chimney breast in our living room and
origionally planned to use plasterboard which would then be skimmed. Plan B
which I am now favouring, would use plywood instead. Any thoughts, pro's and
cons.

Is it ok to wallpaper over ply?

                       Thanks in advance     Eric

Plywood may shrink or warp. Other options include MDF or hardboard.
