Content: Removing half the wall in the middle of the wall creates two raw edges. Put glue on the stud ends and insert the studs between the plates. Toenail -- drive the nails at an angle -- through the end, into the plate. 11
Cut a strip of plywood 3 1/2 inches wide by the length of the wall opening. Use the thickness of the existing plywood -- typically 3/4-inch thick for subfloors. Top with carpet, linoleum or other desired floor covering. To match existing floorings may prove difficult, so a contrasting material or trim is acceptable. Treat the ceiling similarly, using wall sheathing material. 12
Trim the edges of the opening as necessary to ensure straight, finished edges. Cover the exposed wood framing with suitable wall sheathing and finish as appropriate.
