1960s indoor wood walls

I have old barn wood (I believe it’s cedar) inside my 1960s house and wanted to try and do something with it if possible before having to rip it down or cover it up. I got the restorer tool with the steel wire drum and it’s been cleaning it up pretty well. In the picture the right hand side is done with the tool. I’m doing it to get the smell and dirt out. I’ll have to go back and hit the deep spots with wire wheel. I tried to polycrilic it but it didn’t look great. I was considering staining it but I’m not sure. What would you do in this situation? Thanks.

What could I do about rough cedar walls?

They hold smell and dust like crazy. Each room in this 1960s house has two of these walls. I’ve tried sanding and poly but it just doesn’t look good. Should I just cover them with Sheetrock and call it a day? Or any other solutions recommended? The amount of nails in each one makes me reluctant to pull them down. Thanks.

Floor leveling advice

I have an old asbestos tile floor I’d like to cover it with a vapor barrier and lvp. First should I seal the old tile? Second what’s a good plan to level the other three rooms to make them even with the tile? It’s a very small difference but I think it will be felt if I do nothing. These two pictures are entrances into separate rooms. The one is normal concrete the other had an adhesive on the whole hall. Also yes I’m not finished scraping the old glue off. Thanks!

Covering Asbestos Tile

I am putting down a vapor barrier and vinyl plank over the old tiles. To what extent do I need to get up the old glue off the tile? Can I just scrape it or do I need to chemically work it off? And do I need to seal the old tile? Thanks. 1960s home

Before I send in a test I figured I’d ask if this looks asbestoslike? 1960s house most likely original carpet.
