Secure wall panels together at the corners. Use (4) four 10d coated nails per corner. Nail
wall panels to the floor. Nail through the bottom plate. Space 10d sinkers 24" apart.

Install the 2x4 door header between the front wall panels. Nail through the wall stud into
the ends of the header. Toenail into the top wall plates. Wall trim, installed later, will hide
