Replace tongue and groove boards with OSB?
Good Evening.
I am currently in the process of stripping an entire room of old tretex and will be putting up drywall instead... but now to the question.
Some new electrical outlets/network outlets and a lamp outlet above the window or window spots need to be installed. And I have the following options:
* Strip all the raw wood planks and run flexible conduit in the studs, and I can even add insulation in the walls for sound, and a new OSB board has fewer seams and such, which could prevent accidentally nailing in the future.
* Alternatively, route/groove the walls and install renovation boxes/senildosor, which might be cheaper but somehow the first option feels safer.
How would you have done it? Mainly concerning the walls since the ceiling doesn't necessarily need raw wood planks.

Sure, records are nice, but it feels a bit wasteful if existing material can be used.
