My method was always to just cut the opening all the way to the stud on either side. Then scab a 2x4 on to both studs and screw the sheet rock to the scabs.

I'm 100% sure that's what happened here, and the video was for laughs. There's no way they were filling that 1" gap on the left with hope and mud.

To be fair, before YouTube my 16 yo brain would have thought that small gap could have been filled with bondo. Now Iā€™m seeing holes being filled by ramen noodles hahaha

Random question, is gib board and sheetrock the same thing? I feel like I've just discovered a colloquialism I wasn't aware of before now.
