I was wondering what you were talking about. Good eye.

no thanks - been there done that - save your money
eta: It seemed to me to leave much too much mud. Wasn't near as tapered/feathered edges and so resulted in more sanding.

OP, were you live at? If close, I will come by and help you get things straight if you want it done the right way.

Ah yes, about that lol. I did have to make a tiny notch in that stud for that.

20 years of residential remodeling experience will do that.

I knew I wasn't seeing things. At this point, just use all due diligence not to shoot the wire when putting in your base trim. Not being there to see where the studs are, I can't give you too hard of a time, you did what seemed like less of mess. Also how'd you tie into the drywall? Since I don't know if you're attached to a stud, other than hopefully at least into the top and bottom plates, a couple toggle bolts + a washer in the ~7.5 feet between top and bottom plates should take care of possible separation issues that could arise. For all I know there could be a tube of liquid nails applied. Just my 2 cents on it all.
And people are correct about the header... but I've opened up enough walls to know I've seen it work on a non bearing interior walls for a shockingly long period of time, like decades lol. If by chance your top plate isn't attached to the bottom chord on the trusses, toggle bolts plus a washer keeps them in place pretty well also. Any movement will cause your drywall corners to crack, ounce of prevention >>> pound of cure.
Best of luck with it.

I'm not proud to say that I spent a few minutes trying to spot what you're talking about, and haven't.

You bought a split jamb door. There is a couple of staples or nail holding the jambs together. Take them out and slide the jambs apart. Install door and slide other jamb in and nail

u haven't a clue if you're still pushing that child's tricycle of crutch corner trowel. And to think it sounded like you had a clue up to now. BTW: If you ever need a hand straightening out mistakes give me a call... we make a good living correcting messes created my supposed know it all's.
