Reply to comment by gladmonkey in Is it okay to cut out a small section of a drywall stud? by Wolferesque

Yeah it’s a 2x3. It’s very close to the original 2x4 stud. Basically the original side of the wall was kept and the other side of the wall was replaced with drywall, only, the drywall sections were not cut to line up with the original studs. So it has these 2x3 studs to hold the drywall together. I guess I’m just worried whether cutting out the 2x3 will weaken the rest of the drywall.

No way. If it’s just drywall backing cut away. I would cut it out without hesitation.
