We want to build a recessed cabinet between studs.

Please tell me I don’t need a permit to cut holes in drywall?

The only reason why I would think you *might* is that I am effectively ripping out dryway, which has some fire retardation qualities, and replacing it with a wooden cabinet. Presumably if you re-sheated all your walls with wood, not dry wall, the DOB would not be happy.

My cabinet would be around 3 feet wide, and 10 feet tall.

Thanks!
