It is an exterior wall. The stud is a 2x4. I don't really want to plane that much off a stud. Replacing the stud doesn't seem like an option either since it has plywood and house wrap attached to it. Could I sister another stud to it, then plane it? Or is there another option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

AS LONG AS.........there isn't something else going on that is forcing that bow in the first place??? Leaking water and that sort of thing...................or an outer wall problem.

Water had gotten inside the wall due to a window not having proper caulking, but I took care of that issue. The stud does have some water stains.

Question though with it being bowed, did it pull the outside sheeting in with it when it moved? DramaLlama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Mark the bow with a straight edge and roughly cut it out with a jigsaw or reciprocating saw and then sister it for a nailer for your drywall.
