* the idea is to cut a hole in the wall to allow a lot of "extra

part of the house, why not in the add on?


By "decking", do you plan to attack "cabinets" to the underside of the
studs?
No.
Was it possible to take a good look at the other side (first)?
I just did an inventory, and whoever designed my closets didn't leave
much room behind them.

The opening is not going to be "inside" the closet, but from the
room into the space "above" the closet. The back wall is the other
side of the hall / utility area. It is all an add on to a house
originally built in 1905.


Is it possible that the wall is plaster (and all that goes with it)
and not "drywall"?

Its a possibility. In the rest of the house, defiantly, but his
is a late enough add on, I thing its drywall. If it is plaster, all
bets are off.
