Of course these suggestions make perfect sense, ignoring the reality
that I built and installed both walls before starting on the angled
wall. Truth be told, I'm a bit of a "measure once, cut twice" kind of
person. Funny, but before I started the job, I had intended to cut the
angles in, but completely neglected to think when I actually started
work.

Am I asking for trouble if, at this point, I simply drywall the two
original walls first, then drywall the inside of the angled wall? I'm
thinking that will only leave about 1 inch of unsupported drywall. I'm
relatively picky (I know, tough to believe at this point), but I would
think that this tape joint should still hold and look okay, plus it's
on the inside of the pantry. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi, all.

I'm adding a pantry to an existing kitchen, so I'm framing some
non-structural partition walls, and then drywalling them. Essentially,
I'll end up with a neo-angle pantry, and I'd like the door in the
angled wall.

When I got around to framing it in, I ran into a problem. I'm using
2x4s for the walls, but when I go to install the angled wall, the
angled cuts in my 2x4 plate end up being wider than the other two
walls.

You won't have any problem if you miter each plate (22.5 deg) where they
intersect. (assuming you have a 45 deg intersection). Easiest way to see
this is to draw some lines on the floor.

To anticipate your next post, yes you rip a 2x4 to make a solid outside
corner.
