What are your drywall/cement board/framing flatness tolerances for tile supporting walls? I am rebuilding half of a frame and it is a challenge to bring all the studs in the same plane. I do know about the tricks used to straighten studs but I am thinking there must be some tolerances in this respect
Update: this is related to this thread. Can I use corner brackets to rebuild a wall frame that has the horizontal 2x4s extended in an adjacent room? I build my second half of the frame and now I am trying to align it with the existing and it seems to be complex since the top and the bottom plate could be aligned using a long level as straight edge but then studs might not be in the same plan with the other half that is already there. I am using a vertical laser and double checking with the 8' straight edge-level
Update2: this guy is doing it using thinset. Is this normal? (you can call this floating the cement board I guess) https://youtu.be/Fls1asNV9ug?t=1141
Update3: this guy is floating the tiles instead
