For realz. Reminds me of that whacko bit in What the $@&# Do We Know with the ugly water test. Like who’s subjective judgment are we using for this scale of change (ignoring the fact that any change actually occurs).

The hardibacker is about 1/4” and the tile also about 1/4”, so I’m assuming my alcove behind those is 59”, still too small. The installation vids I’ve seen call for notching the 2x4 framers about 1/16” tomake the lip of the rim flush, then replacing the hardi and tile.

But what if I notch in about 1/2” instead? Is there any reason that’s a terrible idea? Past the small structural compromise I can’t really think of one, but I may be missing something since I’m not a pro.
