Cool thanks. I feel it would be easier in my case to shim the lower studs since there are only 2 off in that direction. The other 8 or so studs are level with each other and I don’t want to cut 8 studs this way to get them level with the lower problem studs

Ahh so you are cutting back the studs that are touching the level as opposed to installing shims on studs that are not touching the level

I’m not sure I’m quite visualizing this? Any way to elaborate a bit?

Quick clarification, you mentioned large bows but did you mean crown?

I did crown them all the same way! I assume one or two studs should have been discarded considering these gaps, but I did get them all going the same way .

Wouldn’t this be more work than shimming the two studs that are Too low to match the higher studs? Seems like I would be cutting like 6 studs in your scenario in order to match the lower studs. Hope that made sense

They aren’t bearing correct.

Ahh I see. No just the one side. Concrete is behind these walls.

Thanks! Am I correct that I likely used studs that had too much crown here? I wanna pinpoint whatever error I made to improve in the future. I’m pretty sure the studs that are “low” are the issue. Everything is plumb, I did check with a six foot level and a plumb bob. Wouldn’t just shimming out the few studs in this case be the easiest route overall?

Joke?

What do you mean “rocking”?
