e. Sandwich the Top of the Wall

Depending on the size of the header you created the new wall will have a gap of 150mm left to be filled. This consists of a 40mm piece of timber frame mounted on the ceiling of the container used as a spacer and 2 pieces of 19 mm plywood bolted together. The timber is secured to the ceiling directly above the now located wall. Using the plywood catch the top of the wall between the 2 – 160mm x 2.4m plywood sheets and bolt through in 3 or 4 places. As the bolts are then tightened they bring rigidity to the wall.

You may also choose to reinforce the wall using scraps of 40mm angle iron on the ceiling as was done with the floor connections.

The plunged cut, zippered end of the wall is ground down and filled with mastic (silicone or latex caulk) to produce a smooth corner and then touched up with paint. If you want a higher end finish, these cuts may be filled with car filler (bondo) to become invisible.
