You have to cross your arms!

Could be a good place for a light switch but would be fine on the left.

If swung out with hinges on the right... yes it could block.

I think handle on the right is the norm as most people right handed?!

I discarded a pocket door on price as this is only a temporary door. Eventually will become a en-suite to the bedroom!

I am building a small office and can't decide which way the door should swing for a small office. Option 1 - Door swings out onto landing - right handed handle Option 2 - Door swings in into office - left handed handle

So it is ok if my frame basically clamps to the ceiling joist via the ceiling plaster and laths? It is quite easy to access the wall studs, so I am just going to build directly onto those. The new room will be an office, but will be converted into a shower room one day, so I suspect all the...

If I have any wood left over, I will prob add a few more noggins as I don't have anywhere to store really.

LOL - Is the wall solid or wobbly?

Thanks, the advice for a plumb line was just what I needed. I couldn't work out how to get the laser to project a line on the ceiling. I am lucky that I have wall studs, ceiling & floor joists to screw into. I am just wondering if I should cut away a strip of the ceiling plaster so I can build...

Too late. Might have been a pain to get up the stairs!!

Cutting the door out after fitting board was the plan. It is just me but I was going to screw on scrap blocks to help hold board in position. Will add rockwall to insulate. Have a cheap laser to help with the door. Thanks for the help.

I have an assortment of sizes of turbogold screws for the frame. Would only use plasterboard screws (black) for fixing the board or is that no good?

I have clamps. How does the long pilot drill help?!

Thanks for the advice. I am enjoying it so far. Have cut back some wall and working out the best exiting joists and studs to screw to.

I am planning to add, but keep them straight on plasterboard edges, so each piece will be secured.

I was going to use plasterboard screws rather than nails. I could double up the noggins if I need to secure board. I suspect I will have lots of scrap so why not.

By the way... if it is not obvious... I only showed board on one side.

I am going to attempt to build my first stud wall tomorrow and I am scared. I have created a design that has taken way too long and trying to learn sketch up at the same time. I am using 4x2 and 400 centres which I think is very over-engineered. The room will be an office an eventually become...

Thanks
