    A small corner should be enough to support it, maybe a few feet out like an L shape.

    As long as you are anchoring both ends of the wall to the exterior wall and to the floor you should will be fine.

    That depends on how fast you are and where you live, also how hungry I am usually has a big effect on my bidding.

    Without seeing it in person, I'd be hard pressed. Its probably about a four day job.
