I'm in the process of removing the masonite in a room, partly because of the smell and also to have something to screw things into.
The outer wall in the picture, is it constructed as frames that should be able to move? Both the sill and the wall plate, as well as all the horizontal studs are joined at the thicker vertical studs, the frames are 1.2m between the joints. The masonite was in these framings, it feels like there will be a lot of movement.
Should the plywood be installed so that it overlaps the frames and provides more stability? Or does it need to move that much?
There will also be new plastic later, it hung with 1dm gaps between the frames so it probably didn't add anything
It is a module house built from 120cm wide wall blocks. I would have tried to overlap the joints with the modules if the measurements match. It doesn't look like the center studs are measured so carefully.
It is true that the middle studs are not directly centered; you can add an extra 45×70 if needed. The reduced insulation capability is probably marginal.
Regarding the plastic in the walls, should the insulation be replaced with wood fibers like Hunton and a vapor barrier instead?
The original plastic in the wall probably didn't do anything since it's not connected to the ceiling's plastic, and there was also a large gap between each section, not taped together. Still, no signs of moisture in the wall. However, only 115mm total insulation.
