If it's 1" from joist to joist, you'll probably have issues if any joints fall along (or near) this valley. If it's 1" over a few joists, then maybe it's not so bad. You've got to remember, wood wants to be the way it wants to be. If you're pulling the wood out of shape, you're putting extra stress on whatever is holding the wood out of shape (nails, glue, etc.). Over time whatever is holding the wood could loosen, leading to squeaks, creaks, and outright failure. | |
