Claim 16:
17. A method of constructing a partition according to claim 16, the method comprising:
providing a plurality of elongate upright members;
mounting a first board onto one side of a pair of the elongate upright members that are adjacent to each other, such that the first board spans a gap between the pair of adjacent elongate upright members and contacts the elongate upright members on an inner face of the first board;
affixing a spacer onto the inner face of the first board that contacts the elongate upright members; and
mounting a second board onto an opposite side of the pair of adjacent elongate upright members, such that the second board spans the gap between the pair of adjacent elongate upright members,
wherein after the steps of affixing the spacer to the first board and mounting the first board onto the pair of adjacent elongate upright members, and before the step of mounting the second board onto the pair of adjacent elongate upright members, the spacer projects from the inner face of the first board by an amount that is greater than the thickness of the elongate upright members in the same direction, and wherein the mounting of the second board compresses the spacer is compressed between the first board and the second board.
