Build Wall HELP

[JanneL]

Attach the window trim to the beam that should be against the ceiling and prop it up with the horizontal beams so that it adheres properly to the ceiling. Make sure to press it up firmly.

Will test with the post tomorrow. It's a galvanized fence post, looks roughly like the round posts in the picture via the link. http://www.stangselbolaget.se/image/Industrist%C3%A4ngsel%20Galvat.jpg

Is it okay for the wooden beam I have at the bottom to be directly against the concrete when indoors? Outdoors, should there be some kind of paper in between?

JanneL. Thanks for the tips, but I will not have a beam in the ceiling.
Zankan. Thanks for the tips, but I feel compelled to use 45x45 beams since I need to adapt the wall to an existing wall built in this manner.

Cheetah1, the post is galvanized, but as you say, I'm a little scared of the drilling. I have a stud finder but don't really trust them. Hope it goes well. Will also drill some smaller holes for expansion plugs.

Have you put any boards on it or is it just studs so far? Because if you have attached the studs properly and then screw on particle boards, it will be braced quite a bit...

Did you put any sheets on it or are they just studs for now? Because if you've fastened the studs properly and then screw on chipboard, it stabilizes quite a bit...

I've attached a drywall sheet but will remove it tomorrow as I plan to attach the post.

Are there chipboards that are 13 mm?

The closest I can find is 12 mm and that's not enough.
