I have finished building the wall that separates the “shop” from the downstairs office. It went together rather easily. I’m not a professional framer by any means, but how can you really mess up a small wall like this?
I got the 38” door from the discount section of home depot, the trim surrounding one side was damaged. I paid $30 for the prehung door. Studs 16” on center… so far unfinished drywall on one side and insulation on the other. I’m debating on whether or not I am going to drywall the shop side. I’m think I might just put a horizontal wood storage rack there anyway.
Next step is mud and tape on the drywall and then time to start planning the wiring :)
Thanks for looking :)

Looking good Jason. I would hang some plywood instead of the drywall on your shop side. That way, you can hang your storage rack, cabinet, whatever without having to worry about hitting a stud and not be limited by placement.

I’d definately hang SOMETHING over the studs, just for noise dampening.

You have a basement in central VA? I’m jealous. I’d just have a swimming pool. Instead I am trying to make do with 1/2 of a 2 car garage.
