I want to put my new shower valve on this wall and center it with the drain but there is a pesky stud in the way. Wondering if I can take this stud out completely if I put in another stud several inches over. It is a load bearing wall I am assuming (perpendicular to the joists, double top plate, etc...)
*** Side note ***
I will actually be taking the front studs out completely that butt up against this old pan. But the studs directly behind them are the ones I am referring to in my original question. They are the loadbearing studs.
