Closet Renovation VI - Pocket Door Frame

Here I will install the pocket door frame. We bought a kit for the pocket door that came with everything needed to install the entire frame. The directions of course, were for mounting it as if you had access to both sides of the wall. Remember I am dealing with a walk in shower on the other side so I'm in a bit of a "jamb".

I cut off the top part of the twisted 2x4 and doubled up more good ones next to it. Why not remove it completely? I needed it to hold up the dry wall because the wall for the shower was still screwed into that twisted stud. 

They did this style of door frame on YouTube so it must be fine. Do I need a permit for this? Is this overkill for the door frame? Why is the ceiling not level, or is it the floor? Either way I had to cut each block at a different length.

After much head scratching and re-work, the frame is 85% installed.

 

Now the pocket door frame is not flush with the framing. How are we going to mount the dry wall? (Spoiler:  I don't know I just had to hear about it on the phone while I was at work but when I got home the drywall was installed somehow)

I am giving no tutorials here looks somewhere else for that. This framing was a nightmare. No pictures = major headache. I am also hiding the really bad pictures because we have worse than what was posted here. Framing seems straight forward but framing over our existing, unlevel, twisted, framing was a mess.
