built the wall out of 2x2's. just screwed them to the walls ceiling and floor. actually, i nailed the floor plate down. screws would have ripped up the carpet.

all you need to do is predrill the wood out larger than the thread of your fastner, then slow down as it comes tight. youd be suprised how substantial a connections you can get this way. even i was impressed.

i added plywood gussets in the corners. mostly cuz of having to piece in the 2x2's.

the drywall trick is cutting it to fit the existing walls so closely that you dont need a tape joint or any drywall work there. the way to do this is to hang the sheet or place it on the floor, running it tight as you can get to the existing wall. you will instantly see that the walls isnt straight and in facts meanders in comparison to the prefectly straight side of the drywall. next, take a compass and use it to mark the meandering line of the wall onto the sheet. take it down and cut it to this line. be sure to trim off all the gypsum so that the paper on the finish side is the longest project and then put it back. you easily get a seam so close all it will need is a bead of caulk. you will thus only need to mud the screw heads and the tape joints in the field.

you will be happy you did it this way when comes time to disassemble the wall. course, you will have to mess with that caulk bead. if i had this to do over, i would take extra care to get a fit so close it didnt even need the caulk. would have saved the painting and wallboard touchup needed to deal with it after these sheets came down.
Nice to see that somebody knows where sheetrock joints belong to prevent cracks ( not at the corners of doors or Windows ).

A hanger that knows what he's doing will leave a much bigger pile of scrap.
If Muley can scruff along i can too.
