Hey!

Currently doing drywall myself and I am using 6x6 cm squared timber around my outside walls.

The problem is they aren't as stable as the other walls inside the house because of the 6x6 cm squared timbers that are about 30cm distance from each other.

I will screw my plasterboards on the squared timber and only one plasterboard, not two.

I have two pictures of what my construction looks like from far and one from close.

Maybe someone can give me advice before I install the plasterboard onto it.

The only problem I currently see is finding the subconstruction once I put the plasterboards back on. But other than that, if I find them can I install the cabinets safely?

Holy shit, is that load bearing plywood on the far wall (with the rectangle window).

My friend, you need help from someone that knows what they are doing and familiar with local codes before proceeding any further.

All of the OSB is the inside of the already constructed wall. It's interior fascia, essentially, with insulation behind it.
