The stupider part is that it would be easier to stack out from the other direction.
There are 8 pieces of wood @ 1.5" each = 12" Studs are 16" on center.
So to stack from the right would be 2 pieces to be in the same place.
You can even see the gray box that opens to the wall behind it. That is attached to the stud on the right...its that close. But here I go applying logic to crazy.
My house is over 30 years old, and the studs are 24" apart. Frustrating when I need to hang things built for 16". 😭
Your house is incorrect. 16" on-center wall studs have been a thing for way more than 30 years.
24" on-center wall studs aren't uncommon in building practices today
Most residential interior walls are 16"
If their house is single-story, then 24" would fit in a lot of local building codes.
If any of you find a house on the market with 24" centered 2x4 walls--run. That won't be the only thing they went cheap on.
Engineered roof trusses have made most interior walls non-load-bearing. 24" on center is fine for such walls. Exterior walls are still 16" OC, though.
I spoke with a firefighter I know about those trusses. He said they were the worst thing in modern fire safety and that he refuses to buy a house with them, because once they start getting hot, you've maybe got two minutes before that stupid staple plate pops off. Two or three trusses get their stupid little plates popped off and the whole house is coming down. Makes house fires way more dangerous and time sensitive than they already were, apparently.
Non-load bearing interior walls less than 8’ tall are often 24” studs.
My great grandfather built a punch of apartment complexes back in the 70s, if their house is anything like those well... standardly annoying is the words that come to mind.
It hurts to even read that. I can't even imagine your frustration.
But the gray box is in the way of that solution.
Or just put the box 4" to the right, directly on the stud. Why on earth they thought it had to be exactly where it is is beyond me.
perhaps it is centered between some further away objects and they cared about aesthetics.
