I'm trying to figure out why you used full metal studs to seal the new doorframe you've made there. Also how did you close in that top gap? It looks as if you tapered it. Baseboard conservation... Good call!

Yes, I more than likely will attempt to sell with this feature since when we move from here it will be to retire up in Tennessee. It either has to be sold with the place or be torn apart and the livestock sold off.
Why full metal studs? I needed something to secure the drywall to. Metal is easier to work with than wood. I would need to add studs to replace the wall down the road anyway. Maybe I'm missing something here ?????? I'm not a builder by any means. I'm a DIY'er that's not afraid to tackle anything. I've remodelled this entire place - every wall, every piece of floor tile, every electrical outlet, every every thing and although I've had no professional experience in the trade everyone that sees the place wants to hire me to do something for them. I just wing it.........
When I get time, I'll post a thread in the overflow of the work I've done throughout the place.
Top Gap: Like I said, I wing it. It is tapered. I took a piece of the thin metal stuff you use to make a corner (don't know what you call it) and glued it to the edge of the wall with liquid nails. This gave me a track to set a piece of dry wall on to. Then I used another metal corner piece opened up to about a 45 degree angle to join at the top. Make sense? This extra space actually will serve a purpose in this project. It will give me room to access the overflow of the new tank.
This will make a little more sense when I respond to the next post.
