Ok new subject I need tips on making walls in my garage. How to assemble it and how to make it stable etc. Which colors are the best as well. Any information would be helpful I can’t find anything in the search engine
You need to go back to the thread you started about shaping rooms and keep the thing going. In California a " wall" requires a permit. A permit opens the door to all kinds of stuff you do not want to deal with. Like inspectors and code people. A garage is a place to park your car and store junk…You need to stay low …keep the noise down…Make it look like you just have a hobby surfing with some extra boards and wet suits…If you can’t make a false wall with 2x2 and plastic … don’t use a power planer. Find some real people off line that can help you with basic skills…

Hi Ray,
No electric, no plumbing, no exterior penetrations means no permit required. However, many cities have minimum covered parking requirements, so maybe someone might squalk a little, but here’s how to build a temp wall.
Put 2 - 2x4 - 16 feet long on the ground. Measure the distance from the top of the 2 2 x 4s up to the ceiling. Add 3/4" to this measurement. That is your stud length. Note that garage floors slope, so the length changes. Take the top 2x4 - 16 foot off the stack and have a friend hold it on the ceiling. Make sure it is under a ceiling joist and not just the drywall. Then take your 2x4 stud, and wedge it in between the long 2x4 on the floor and the one on the ceiling. Nail it in place. No nails into the concrete or drywall ceiling. Just wedge the studs in place, and nail them to the long 2x4. No damage to the drywall that way. Since you wedged them in place, they aren’t straight up and down. Take the next stud, and wedge it in place. And so forth the length of the wall. The studs should look like a repeating W with the top or bottom of each stud toughing the next one. That’s how we make temporary partitions at work. Cover it with some drywall screwed in place.
