Hi guys, i wonder if anyone can offer me some advice. I am putting a false interior wall inside my garage. Gonna used wood stud wall with insulation in between and plasterboard on top. Problem i have is here http://www.ldistudios.com/garagepic.jpg
(The wood alongside the brickstud is 2x6)
As you can see i have these brick studs all around the wall. This means that i must use 2x6 wood studs to cover these with a straight wall as i imagine staggering 2x4 studs around them would be problematic. Ideally i would like to use 2x4 for space requirements. would i be able to simply remove these brick studs as they are not supporting any ceiling, or am i missing something?
If i can remove them whats the best way?
Any advice would be most welcome.
Ok ive since been informed i cant remove the brick piers, with that in mind should i use 2x4 and stagger the wall around them or shall i just use 2x6 and create a straight wall?
Or is there any other alternatives to the wood stud walls, as i need the place to be habitable.
cheers
chris
