We have a small partition 3.5 high x 6.5 wide. The original contractor did not align the studs nor base plate. Im going to put a partial sheet of oak faced plywood. but with the studs so out of line this task is a problem. There are maybe two stud inline. FYI, two electrical lines run there the studs.
Im very familiar with leveling with shims but this amount of misalignment makes that simple solution daunting. FYI, the studs cannot be removed. The contractor did use multiple shim to try level the sheetrock. I left the first shims so you could see the mess. Btw, those first shims did not solve the problem.
Please suggest how to best align these studs.
Thanks
