An unfinished basement or other large room can feel cold and impersonal. Add visual interest and a sense of warmth by breaking up the space with a non-load-bearing wall. Because this task is almost always part of a larger project, it is appropriate for intermediate-level do-it-yourselfers who have a good command of their tools. It would be good to have a helper, as some of the materials to be lifted are heavy. Lowe's is happy to provide this information as a service to you. |
