well to keep my mind off the woman i been workin on my house.and yes it was also to make her realise what she is missing.she comes over a few times a week even when im not home to visit the dog.

but anyways i always wanted to build a wall between my kitchen and living room.we could never get the 2 rooms cooled in the summer.we could get it bearable but never cool.and since we dont spend much time in the kitchen why waste money trying to cool it?plus i wanted to make the kitchen a little bit bigger so there would be more room to walk around the table.well i was gonna go 4 feet into the living room.4 feet was way too much!so i ended up going 3'3"so the front door would still open fully.so i layed down 2 more pieces of plywood so it would be level with the kitchen floor.i need 2 more boxes of tiles to finish it.i need to fix a few screw ups from the last floor adventure but thats easy.i got my 2x4s today and framed the wall.its comeing out pretty good so far.i need a level so i can make sure its all straight and secure the top of it.going to put a 32"x80"door in it.now i just gotta come up with the money for the door,sheetrock and supplies and some wall outlets.

i luv how the green tile accents the green Mt. Dew cans on the computer desk rich. what a splash of color buddy!

j/k rich, glad you found something to help take things off your mind.

I hope you found some ceiling joists to nail your top plate to. It must be secured before you do the drywall. I can not see in the pictures that it is nailed off to the joists.

the top plate aint secured yet cuz i need to level it off first.i have a level here somewhere but cant find it.gonna steal one of my dads levels tomororow.there is nothing for cieling joists but 1x2 strapping here and there found that out when i put my hand through the cieling and when i hung a light .one thing that sux about a trailer,the other is the wall studs arent on 16" centers.they are pretty much where ever they decided to put them.

Just to make sure did ya include the thickness of the drywall for the door to open? Looks good though.
