14x8 wall should only take 7 sheets of sheetrock. so figure 8

sheetrock = $64
(12) 2x4 studs = $36
(2) 2x4x14 for header and footer = $12
misc mud tape nails = $20 (this is being very generous)
(1) prehung door 32" = $80


total i come up with in midwestern prices is $212. So if you're paying a
thousand dollars for this 6 hour project, let me know and I'll come do it
myself.

If you can buy materials, build the wall, install the door, put up
drywall on both sides, tape and mud, let dry for a day and come back,
another coat of mud, let dry another day and come back for the final
coat of mud, in six hours, I'll let you know the next time I need some
construction work done!
