Renovating an old timber house from 1826 that has been remodeled now and then... the last major renovation was in the 1940s, raising the roof in the middle of the house and placing vertical timber in this section. (so the walls on the upper floor are horizontal timber halfway up and then vertical timber) The inner walls are vertical planks.
On the ground floor, I have framed up the walls and in the corner screwed together two studs according to the sketch to get a fully fixed structure seen from the boards (OSB and plasterboard)
This has worked fine for 5 years now anyway.
Now, however, I'm reaching the bathroom on the upper floor. The upper floor has been gutted, and my plan is to do it the same way for corners that don't move. Equally important in a bathroom, though, is that the joint between the floor and wall doesn't move. Can/should you fix a horizontal stud on the wall with the floor joist in some smart way here?
I'm not in a rush to finish the bathroom, so I could "experiment" for half a year/a year after framing to somehow measure movements... I don't want to spend 100k on a tiled bathroom that ruins the whole house.
