Hello. We are going to take down a non-load-bearing wall in our living room, and we've already removed the plasterboards. I want to use them to build a new room upstairs. However, we would also like to use the rest of the wall up there, so my perhaps slightly silly question is, would it be possible to avoid breaking all the boards apart, taking down the studs and rebuilding, by simply cutting down the entire wall in sections, carrying it up, and setting it up as a wall upstairs? It feels like even if it will be heavy, it is worth it time-wise, and you avoid destroying the already built structure. Is that wishful thinking? The pictures are of the wall from the front and the side.

If you want to take it down piece by piece, you are naturally free to do so.
Yes, I suspect we may have to. But the question is how easy it is. Maybe it's an impossible project. Wondered if someone else has done something similar.S Stefan1972 said:

It completely depends on how it's put together. If there are awfully many/big nails, then it becomes harder. If they're fastened with small tacks, it might be easy.
