Abstract
A wall of gypsum wallboard adhered indirectly to studs, in which the studs have an intermediate material, which has a preplanned degree of weakness, affixed to the stud face, and to which material the wallboard is adhered, to hold it relative to the studs, whereby on removal of the wallboard, the relatively dried bead of adhesive is easily removed from the wallboard back side and/or the stud face, leaving both in condition for reuse with new adhesive, in constructing a new wall.
