Default Need help building knee wall

When installing the frame should i use screws or lag bolts ?
The floor plate will only be attached to the sub floor ( 3/4" plywood )
There are no joists under it.

I want to add a knee wall to an existing opening between my Dining room &
Kitchen.
How can i cut the Corner Bead on the existing opening from the height of
my kneewall ( 42" ) to the
floor ? I won't be able to see where the screws holding the corner
bead are.



*Cut the bead with a hacksaw. It may not be attached with screws.
Sometimes nails are used and sometimes they are just hammered on with a
tool that crimps them. Don't worry about being neat. You are going to
have to tape the new joints anyway.



Agreed...Though if it were me I would remove the whole bead..Bead is only
a couple of bucks and easy to finish...If it was crimped or nailed
sparingly it will probably crack anyway once you start messing with
it...HTH...
