Should I put a 2X4 horizontal plate where they have been cut and then put a stud under it to a bottom plate, just like a wall. Or should I scab a 2X4 to the new stud like they said of the same one but it only had six inches cut off the stud.
How to replace Studs and bottom plate if the studs have been cut half way up the wall and removed

I'd be inclined to put down a bottom plate and sister the existing studs to it. Now mind you, I'm not a fourth generation carpenter so maybe some of them will chime in.
