I'd put that block behind where the right wall's drywall would go, I guess the left-wall's drywall would just cut a notch out for wiring and blocking? | |
| Jun 21 at 15:59 | comment | added | cr0 | I see what you mean. Noob question as I haven't dry-walled anything: if I run a wire out one of those boreholes from the right wall (photo 1) and along the left wall, I'd do it so it's behind the drywall that goes up on the right wall, but if drywall on the left wall extends to the end how does the wire go through it? They just notch a hole out of the drywall for the wire, since that notch will be behind the interior-facing walls anyway? | |

So, not a big deal in that sense. As far as attaching drywall over that last stud bay on the left side in photo 1, is some blocking or an additional stud needed? Or it's fine as is. Asking as I want to finalize electrical, and once I do it'll be a pain to add another stud there. | |
