Restoring a bedroom, need tips on the interior wall
We are relatively new homeowners and are now planning to restore a bedroom, which the previous owners removed when they wanted a larger living room. As beginners in such construction projects, I need some input from you on the workflow and implementation.
The conditions are as follows:
* (The so far imaginary) wall's dimensions are 2.375 m high and 3.745 m wide.
* There is parquet on the floor (I don't intend to remove it in the bedroom section)
* The ceiling has huntonit panels
* Along one wall, two copper pipes run between the room's radiators (I assume these went through one of the original wall's studs).
* The wall will be made with insulation, OSB, and drywall.
All the guides I've read start by creating the frame with studs. It varies whether they start with the ceiling and floor plate followed by vertical studs, or the floor plate followed by vertical studs and then the ceiling plate. I assume it doesn't matter much, but could be significant due to my pipes running along one wall?
My thought with the vertical studs is to start from the wall without pipes and then cc 60 cm towards the other wall. But what do I do with the last section (6*60 cm = 3.6 m compared to 3.745), should the wall stud here be cut off above the pipes? Or should some sort of notch be made?
Where the old, removed wall was, there don't seem to be wooden studs behind the transverse walls where they meet, just drywall. What attachment method would you choose for the wall studs of the interior wall then? And what attachment method would you use for the ceiling plate?
