How To Install An Ice Maker Box In Your Home
What happens here
Using a drywall saw or a utility knife, carefully enlarge the opening in the drywall to accommodate the new ice maker box. The video shows the creator using a drywall saw to cut a precise rectangular opening. During this process, it's discovered that a wooden stud is directly behind the desired location for the box. This requires further modification to the stud to allow the box to sit flush. The creator then uses a utility knife to trim any remaining drywall imperfections.
Goal: Create a precise opening in the drywall for the ice maker box.
