Corner stud removal

Although it wasn't a load-bearing wall, corner studs are still necessary for wallboard nailing at the edges of this closet wall. But the framers never had future removal in mind. They lapped them into the perpendicular studs with lots of face nails. I had to do some fancy cutting with a reciprocating saw and use a portable planer. This also left narrower than usual bays between studs for electrical boxes on either side of the wall.
