how to re-frame an existing house corner

[George P.]

i have a corner that has rotten wood due to long term leak (years). the bottom of 5-6 two by fours are rotten and the bottom plate is rotten.

the outside is brick, so i can't get to it from the outside. how do i replace the bottom plate and the vertical studs with new wood before i sheetrock?

i can post a picture of the studs without drywall if needed. the corner is in a closet.

At the risk of sounding trite... if you have to ask this question, you need to hire a good carpenter to do it for you and maybe watch what they do.

But the simple answer is that you remove the sheetrock, support whatever needs to be supported, remove the rotted members, replace, and then take down the temporary supports.
