Just before my cellulose man came to blow my exterior walls, I noticed some twisted 2×4 walls in a dormer. To correct them as quickly as possible I did the following. Top of stud twisted to the right — nailed a block to the top plate on the right, then tweaked it and pounded in a wooden door shim to bring it square. This of course twists the bottom of the stud to the left, so nailed block on the left at the bottom plate, and inserted shim to bring it square.
Any reason why this won’t work OK for twisted studs? (I think they were straight when built, but it’s been a while ago.)
