Cut through each wall stud in the removal area, both at the top and at the bottom, along the wall plates. Use a reciprocating saw and work carefully. This slices through the nails attaching the framing. Alternatively, cut the studs in the middle and twist, tug and remove. 9
Slice through both the bottom and top plates, vertically, to cut them free from the remainder of the plate. Cut shallowly again, to avoid cutting further into the ceiling or floor. Pry away to remove. 10
Measure the distance between the inner edges of the plates to determine the stud length. Cut one stud to fit for each wall raw edge. If the removal occurs at the end of a wall, there is one raw edge.
