Hi,
I'm planning to frame a downstairs wc room along the external wall with 4x2 timber in order to hide the pipework and fit some insulation between the battens as the wall is solid brick with no insulation. The plumping pipework currently drop down in the corner of the room and I'm wondering if it is ok to fit the first vertical stud 3.5 inches in from the corner of the room and keep the incoming pipework in its current location. Plastering by a professional plasterer to follow. Pic attached.
