Default Extending a wall

Yes, but no need for the brick/cement infill. Use framing timber, and
lots of fixings. 50*100mm studs would be fine.

I would do this in conjunction with fitting the door frame. Masonry
screws (e.g. multimonti) to fix the first stud to wall end (probably
uneven/off-vertical).


There is no door frame. It is open plan with an opening between kitchen
and dining room but I want the gap slightly narrower so it can be
covered by a vertical blind to hid the mess.
