Hello everyone.
I am fitting a new L shaped kitchen shortly and I have noticed that the timber studwall (50x100) tapers - it is out by as much as 20mm. Now I'm not sure what to do. Do I:
1) take off the board on both sides and straighten the studwork (a lot of work as there is 4-5m of wall)
2) reboard over the top of the existing
3) something else???
I am confused as I haven't fitted a lot of plasterboard and never fitted a kitchen.
The wall is generally uneven all across its surface, so I'm anticipating a lot of trouble when I come to fit the work surfaces and units. I really don't know how to prepare the walls and need some advice.
Please help, thanks
