As to QQ response,yes you are correct,there really isn't much of a load,and the method you described should work just fine,if there is no other factors.
as for the cost,is this all inclusive?framing,rock,mud & tape,door install,trim? Glad you handymen want to do all that for 200.00.

Seriously! It's $49,800 less than I would charge! Not including expenses!
Just kidding. For labor only, to frame the wall as I describe using 2x4s, 1/2" rock, 20 minute mud, a prehung door, with everything on site, I'd like $400-$600 (Depending on how much crap is in the way, how hot the Mrs. is, etc.
) as it's only about a half day's work but something of a day killer and rounding up is reasonable.
I accept high end optics as tips too!
All good J man, all good!
