We have a two story house, bottom story has an open concept floor plan with stairs in the middle. There is a storage closet under the top half of the stairway. The previous owner knocked out the drywall at the back of the closet to add access to more storage space under the bottom half of the stairway. Can I remove the two studs to enable easier access to this area? Or I could reposition them further apart, or just remove one of them..

Best drywall anchors for cat wall climbers

Hi all,

I am going to be setting up some cat wall climbers and I’m wondering what the ideal length of screw and best drywall anchors are? I will be using studs whenever possible but I’m not positive I will be able to for every placed climber. Any advice is appreciated.

Best way to actively vent an attic?

My house gets super hot in the afternoon when the sun is on it, and I suspect it’s the roof heating up, warming up the attic, which warms up the house. The roof is vented with proper standard roof vents, but I’m wondering if adding a fan or one of those spinning turbine whirlybird type vents would help keep the temp down on hot sunny days? Edit: the roof is low slope, at its highest the attic space is about four feet tapering off to nothing as the trusses approach the exterior walls.
