Help to build stud wall

baldowrie · Help to build stud wall

Is anyone up to building a stud wall for me to make my son a bedroom? My son is in desperate need of a room to himself.

I can't afford to pay much but you will be watered and feed and can have overnight accommodation in my touring caravan whilst doing the job. I am near Coupar Angus.

Just to add if you can't offer help do you know someone that can?

I didn't even know what one was -

I can't help though, sorry. Hope you can find someone. I don't blame your son for needing his own space!

sorry I dont know anyone in your area who could help
They are not that difficult though, i helped one of the guys working on our house, basically its just 2x4's cut up to make a frame, do everything at 600mm centres so that standard plasterboard will fit.

The difficulty or knowing how to build the wall is not the problem. The problem is I am a 5ft 2" disabled female and my mother is 75. So the problem is the logistics of lifting the heavy plaster board etc.

Perhaps social services could organise something for you?
If you do have to pay anything it will be proportionate to your means iykwim, it usually is.

Thanks for the suggestion Julie and under normal circumstances I would have, but Care and Repair, the body that wold do the job, are doing my roof this year and I can only claim for one job a year.
