Hi, I recently purchased an old home that has the original plaster walls. One closet contains the upstairs bathroom piping. I had a leak in the plumbing and needed to fix it. I hired someone to do that, but he ripped a huge hole in the wall and now it needs to be closed up again. The wooden slats have been destroyed, and I need to put in some type of access to the pipes again if there was ever a problem.

I know I can replace with drywall, but what are the steps to taking out the wooden slats and then installing the drywall and making an access opening?

I am also on a limited budget.

Thanks a bunch,
Sherry
