[Shop-talk] Removable wall panels?

[Karl Vacek]

Faced with a similar thing a few years ago, I opted to make a section of 
wall removable, drywall and all, so I can eventually change my furnace 
without tearing out the wall and rebuilding it.  I was building the wall 
anyway, so I made a section of the framing removable, with structural screws 
into the joists above and wall alongside, and Tapcons into the concrete 
floor.  Just used the straight edge of the drywall against the ajdoining 
wall with a tight joint, no tape.  If you look you can see the crack, but 
it's hardly noticeable.
