Howdy Friends,
Yes you can repair the studs there. With each individual stud cut it off at about the 12" for 8' studs new or 16" for 12' studs, either was you will still have the 2 needed cripple studs for each single stud which will be needed. Either was you buy your studs in 8'ers or 16'ers do get the pressurer treated for protectoin from water. THIS only NEEDE TO BE DONE if you have dont have a pressurer treated footer at the seal plate area.

Subject: [DIY] wall studs
I have a garage in bad shape. The siding is shot, the sill plate is bad in some areas, and some of the wall studs are bad on the bottom few inches. I can reside it, and I think I can support the rafters, with a beam & jacks, to take the weight off the wall in order to replace the sill plate (just a 2x4 was used). My question is: What is the acceptable way to repair the wall studs which are bad? Do I have to replace the whole stud?, or can I scab in new sections (about 12" long) at the bottoms? Is just nailing them in OK, or would screws be better? Do I need some kind of "connector" plates to graft on a new one foot section at the bottom of the stud, rather than going along side of it with a new piece?
Any advice?
Thanks,
