I finally thought that I had the time to measure, cut, and install studs for the corners so I could install the drywall.

I did not. I just looked at it, made a confused face, got ready for work, and was late. Shame on me, but when I arrived I had a text from the mom asking if I was on my way.

I was when she wrote me!

When I left I wondered if I needed to ensure that school ending didn't change anything.

It did.

She forgot and said she was just picking up the kids from the babysitter.

I didn't have any idea how far away she was, but then the mom mentioned they just got over a stomach flu.

She asked if I wanted to do teletherapy.

I would rather do teletherapy than get sick!

So, twenty minutes after we were supposed to start I commenced the half-hour drive.

I messaged her as soon as I got home, but they didn't connect for half an hour.

When I finally got out to the shed I saw something like this:


Except I needed to install those studs before I installed the foam board.

I really don't want to do that now.

Sure, let me measure out 1.5" from the edge of each corner stud, draw a straight line, cut along the line, chisel out the foam, and when I finally remove all of the foam in the slot, measure and cut a 2x4, and I guess pre-drill holes at a 45° angle, pre-drill countersinks, and then finally screw this stud to the original one.

Then repeat everything with the other corner.

Of course, what is the alternative?

I can just go ahead and screw in the drywall, but the corner won't be supported. Then I can put a clip on the next sheets of drywall, slide that between the edges of the first sheet and the wall, and then hope that nobody bumps the corner.

Hope isn't a tactic.

I can trim the spray foam, pop off the stir sticks, cut and place angle aluminum!

It would definitely be cheaper to cut out the foam, slide in 2x4s, and pre-drill holes, but how long would that take?!

It looks like Home Depot is the only one with the right size in-stock.

We will see if I still end up using the drywall clips.
