The wall going into the living room had a bad wall stud. I got started fixing that this week. First thing was to cut the drywall out so I could get to the stud. I cut higher than I needed to to make it easier to seam it afterwards.

I cut out the bad section and replaced it, then added a cover board to  make sure everything stayed together and was strong.

The drywall is cut and fitted. The wiring for the electric outlet was not quite long enough to relocate it to a different stud, so it had to get put back where it came from.

The spackle is going on. It looks the same for all the coats being put on. I currently have two on it. We'll see how it looks when they dry. It might need more, but maybe not.
