Framing a room in basement
I want to add a bedroom in the corner of my finished basement. I will only have to frame two walls. I have a drywalled ceiling (1/2" drywall) and Burbur carpeting on the floor. My questions to you are Do I need to cut away the drywall where the header of my wall is going to meet the ceiling rafters or can I just nail it through the drywall into the rafters? Also, do I have to cut away the carpeting on the bottom plate or can I let the bottom of the wall rest on the carpeting and attach nail it through the burbur? Thank you for your time.

WALLS
Id cut it out of the way. Top and bottom and dont forget the bottom plate has to be P/T wood. You could put the top plate in. Then the bottom one and toe nail the studs in . Have you looked at the steel studs and plates
