Steve,
Is it possible that the studs are out of plane a bit? One(s) where the panel seams land on might be sticking out a bit and causing the hump?
I'm also contemplating a reno project that will need to consider this issue. No idea if I'll find the same discrepancy as you're finding...

Assuming that I AM dealing with an AVV (pretty much sure), I'm now thinking that I could just recess it into the wall's stud bay/cavity and leave the front open to the back of the vanity (which will have ample access space).

Where to stop new subflooring at door threshold
Full remodel of bathrooms and will take this opportunity to replace the particle board subfloor with plywood. Does one cut the subfloor straight across the doorway (threshold) or does one cut say into the mid line of the doorway (threshold)? I will not be replacing the subfloor (not now) for floors ...

Re: Relocating bathroom water lines and sink drains in wall
I suppose there's one other complication... the drain waste vent! This isn't mine, but it's like it: https://cdn.getinthetrailer.com/wp-content/uploads/air-admittance-valve-under-sink-quicksoluction_61633.jpg Is that an AVV (Air Admittance Valve)? I'm thinking so, in which case I wouldn't be able to...

Relocating bathroom water lines and sink drains in wall
I'm working out final details on my water line re-plumb project (which has been on hold for over a couple of years now :oops:). Have decided that we'll be remodeling this home (was on the verge of building a new, conventional stick-built but things came up to nix that), so it's now on the front burn...

Weight of 4x8 T1-11 particle board?
My MH's sheathing (and siding*) is T1-11 that's particle board. I cannot find any references to what this type of panel weighs. I want to calculate weight changes if replacing with OSB or plywood sheathing*.
*NOTE: just looking at weights for sheathing purposes/roles (for now).
Thanks!

Re: Vapor or air barriers in outer walls?
Through this thread has been dead for a while I figured I'd throw my comments here in order to help anyone who comes along... In general you want an air barrier, a vapor RETARDER and a water RESISTIVE barrier in pretty much all exterior walls. The order and configuration, as well as materials that w...

Re: Float new deck footings or?
The existing deck is nearing end of life. It's old and in need of replacing. I would NOT go by anything that was done here previously: most certainly not the worst, but in no means the best. Below-grade footings are generally the better way to go. In this case, though, I'm looking at dissimilar foot...

Float new deck footings or?
Note: "on-grade" is what I mean when I say "float." I'm continuing to pursue my re-deck project. Planning on replacing our current deck with a similar sized one (replacement will include a patio/covering part of the deck- the details for the roof construction still elude me, so i...

Re: Concrete foundation to keep mice out
Though not a "solution," look to incorporate bucket traps (there are Youtube videos if you search). I re-did the skirting our our house (sits on a monolithic concrete pad) with metal roofing and still encountered mice! Might be because I have only re-skirted three sides, but the one side I...

Re: Crawl Space Venting
Mark, could you provide a source reference for the "1 sq/ft of ventilation per 150sq/ft of floor space" requirement? I spent a lot of time researching venting when I was re-doing my skirting and none of my local codes specify this: one can do a search and find provided references. As a mat...

Recommendations for insulation under belly
Q: Would mixing R-value insulation be a waste of money? Underbelly has areas devoid of insulation. Maybe max of 150 sq-ft. Repairs, by previous owner, left belly wrap open and some crap insulation was tossed in but then pretty much sagged out (I've yanked it). I have run out of time to do a proper r...

For my immediate requirements I need to reattach the belly wrap to the rim joist along a 15' section. I will try and make do with multiple,...
