I need to build a stud wall in the area below along the red line. This is to separate the area in red. The area shaded green will be removed which is also a stud wall to make more room in the living area to the left.
I wanted to know if it’s better to build a stud wall on the existing banister wood, i.e. remove the banister first then have the wood sitting where the banisters were or do I need to strip down everything to the bare stairs and then start my stud wall from the floor.
The only issue with starting the wall from the floor will be that the wall could stick out, which I don’t want.
Help appreciated!
