Blending a new partition wall
I have two inside walls meeting in an outside corner. Both have drywall
with heavy orange peel. I want to extend one of them a bit with a partition wall. I want the side of the partition wall to blend seamlessly with the wall it is extending. I can think of two ways... 1. Remove the corner metal where the partition wall will join and clean off extraneous drywall compound. When new wall is built and has drywall, tape the joint. 2. Remove the corner metal where the partition wall will join and cut out part of the existing wall back to a stud. Use one piece of drywall to cover cut out section and new partition, tape joint. Two joints, actually, as there would be a horizontal one where the top of the cut out piece was. Either way, I'd also have to texture and paint, obviously. Which way would you suggest and have you a better way? Leave the corner metal alone? -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder? Tired of the rat race? Taxes out of hand?

Which way would you suggest and have you a better way? Leave the corner metal alone? I'd pull the metal corner bead, screws / nails, etc. If not, you might likely see a seam later. The metal generally has a thicker compound and blended into the wall further out. "existing wall back to a stud." There should be a stud there if this is a wall end with corner bead. Pull the bead off and drywall end piece (4" wide) back to the stud. You can add a 2 X jack stud on the side for better fastening of the new drywall. Pictures? |

Here are a couple of Sketchup screenshots.

My thoughts: - build the partition of size - lag bolt (3) in the side of the wall - liquid nails adhesive under the foot plate of the partition or lags & anchors - the corner bead will not have to be removed, but cut at the proper height (cosmetic) - trim down the side of the corner bead - utility knife, cut the tape - when the metal is removed it will not tear finish texture close by. Nice pictures. |
