|I remember reading some time ago about that very problem. If you are in
an
| area that has winter, sometimes the studs on the inside edge become so
dry
| while on the outside edge has more moisture plus cold causing them to
bow
| towards the outside, opening up gaps. In the summer when the humidity
is
| higher inside the house they usually straighten out. I had this
problem but
| not as bad as you. It is the same problem that sometimes occurs with
roof
| trusses.
|
| Most likely it will fix itself in the summer. Do not fill the gap as
that
| will prevent it from closing up and may cause it to open even more
next
| winter, you need something that can cover the gap and slide over the
granite
| as the studs move.

grout with silicone to match granite color or tile grout color will
remain flexible.|
