Is it acceptable to fasten hardibacker to the stud 1.5inch from the board's edge?
Hi I took out the old fibeglass shower and one of the walls behind had 2 drywalls and a plywood. I removed drywalls an will be keeping the plywood Now the distance from the center of the stud on the left wall to the plywood is 2 inch. I will place a hardiboard over the plywood which will leave me an 1.5inch to the center of the stud. Can I put my screws at that distance when I put the wall hardibacker. Any risks with that? Are the remaining drywalls there causing any issues? (Bty the same situation is with the other side however ther is no drywalls there just a gap) Any comment will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. submitted by /u/Worth_Specialist_371 [link] [comments]
