Cutting studs to flush mount an electric fireplace into wall
Hey Guys, redoing our living room, and want to put in an electric fireplace. It's roughly 5" deep, so I'll need to cut either 2 or 3 wall studs to accommodate. That wall used to be an exterior wall, but there's an addition to the house, so it's inside now. I'll need to build a frame to support cut studs. Question is, if it's 2 or 3 I'm cutting a ~14" gap into, what kind of support would I need support the studs temporarily while I'm building the box frame in there? Thanks! submitted by /u/Puzzled_Anybody_3327 [link] [comments]
