I have two inside walls meeting in an outside corner. Both have drywall with heavy orange peel. I want to extend one of them a bit with a partition wall. I want the side of the partition wall to blend seamlessly with the wall it is extending. I can think of two ways...
- Remove the corner metal where the partition wall will join and clean off extraneous drywall compound. When new wall is built and has drywall, tape the joint.
- Remove the corner metal where the partition wall will join and cut out part of the existing wall back to a stud. Use one piece of drywall to cover cut out section and new partition, tape joint. Two joints, actually, as there would be a horizontal one where the top of the cut out piece was.
Either way, I'd also have to texture and paint, obviously.
Which way would you suggest and have you a better way? Leave the corner metal alone?
