Hello,
Previous to own a house, it was vacant and low life form criminals cause lots of destruction including pulling old wires from walls. So, I am in the process of doing lots of things including repairing the drywall. Most of the time I only want to replace the portion that is damaged between studs so there is a base of support. The following shows an example of a damaged drywall:
And then how I approached it to make a square cut between studs:
(this is not a final cut, there is need to some adjustments..)
Initially, I traced a line at the center of the studs with a chalk heel and then used a roto zip to cut, but the rotozip proved to be inefficient (hitting nails, messy, etc) and slow for this application I simply used a utility knife (besides using the util knife to cut through the caulking joints). Any insights on how to approach these cutouts
