Hello;
I'd like to ask a question of you all in hopes of figuring out how to tackle this situation.
To state my issue very simple I'm installing a bathtub which is 60" into a bathroom who's width is 61" (stud to stud). The design of the tub is meant to go stud to stud expecting the studs to be 60" apart. Now the installation manual says the tiling flange on the tub is to be predrilled and fastened flush to the studs which sets up the drywall to come down to the first bevel of the flange and then allows tile to come down over the 2nd bevel making the tile flush with the tub.
I can't for the life of me figure out means of addressing this 1" difference so any tips, tricks or suggestions would be most appreciated!
Many thanks for your time.
Oh, incase this would help the tub is an acrylic tub with a built in apron.
