Lots of home projects involve cutting or drilling through walls (everything from nails, screws, or hooks to mount things to cutting through drywall and drilling through studs to run wire).

Any stud in an exterior wall or bearing partition may be cut or notched to a depth not exceeding 25 percent of its width.
