    Great video! Thanks for the help.
    8:03 I have used a utility knife in place of a saw. They snap right off after you score the shims a few times. I also would have done the mud work before tacking the trim in place. Looks great though!

    Always terrific videos! I do wish that you would include fastener length. For instance, "Use 3" screws on all toenailing". Etc. But again, the videos are clean, well-produced, you're a terrific guide, and your attention to detail is much appreciated.

    I like the way it turned of but do have a couple issues. First, the is no mention made to be certain that this wall was not load bearing. A very important detail to know before you stay cutting out studs. Second, installing the casing before you mud? I would've done it the other way around.

    • @albertestremera1861
      @albertestremera1861 3 роки тому

      I agree with the no mention of load bearing. i want to do something similar and although a lot of other videos show how to check for load bearing, it would have been a nice addition here. I do like the video overall.

    It`s a really nice tutorial! But how to recon whether studs you have removed were load bearing? I have an idea to replace our entrance door from standard 820mm wide to at least 920. Because this is entrance door it has drywall inside. timber frame in the middle and brick veneer outside. I afraid I have to reinforce it first before cutting studs. May be you have a technology how to do this to protect roof collapsing, please?

    I'm in dire straights with getting a dryer in my bathroom before Thanksgiving. The door and all framework has been removed and it still needs about 3 inches off. My new dryer is sitting in my dining room. I don't know anyone who is a contractor to cut it and my very handy husband passed in June. I don't care if there is another door put up. What can I do? if anything? Thanks!

    So what do you do if your door opening doesn't end exactly at a wall stud? How do you add the "extra" wall stud that you mount your jack stud to?
