    Perfect timing to find this! Thanks for making it short and to the point. Way too many how to videos where the maker spends more time talking and being funny than getting to the point and showing good detail.

    I Googled "how to remove part of a door frame" because I didn't know how to describe this situation. Your video was 3rd in the suggested, the first one I clicked, and EXACTLY what I needed. New piece of kitchen furniture is about 5/8" too long for for the space I have, and it's because of the old hinge and casing. I feel totally confidant to tackle this myself. Liked & subscribed.

    • @homemend
      @homemend  2 роки тому

      Hi Anita. There is a suggested home improvement playlist in the description with some options, Home Depot and Lowe’s only sells one kind and it either has a green top on it or a blue top. We always called it green top, it’s premixed and ready to use out of the bucket. Not sure what brand you used but if you hop on the mighty Netwerk you can upload pictures and talk about your project :-)

      That’s a great question Angela. You can probably make it a little wider, but depending on how much you want… Look for switches and plugs that would be in the way if there would be wiring or any plumbing lines.

    Thank you, this explains the basic principles. I want to remove the door jamb in a coat closet next to my kitchen but inside of the closet is a few inches wider than the door jamb, so I also have to cut back the wall the jamb is attached to on both sides so it's flush with inside of closet (I'm putting my refrigerator in that closet with a cabinet overhead). It looks like I'll wind up with pretty much the same job you showed in this video after cutting back the wall.

    Would using bullnose corner bead make things more difficult? The other passageways in the home which never had doors have the rounded, bullnose corners. Using the tighter angle like you did probably wouldn’t make much visual difference; but just wondering about one style vs. the other. Thanks!

      @homemend  9 місяців тому

      Great question LEEB… If they were close to each other, I would say use the kind of the rest of your house has. But I prefer the sharp corners myself. However, no they should not make things more difficult but they will be plastic instead of metal

    @marlorankin5762 2 роки тому

    Thank you for the detailed video. Looks like the corner is covered with mud. People who’s doing a bathroom remodel said it’s impossible to cover the metal corners all the way with the mud. When it’s primed and painted that’s what covers it. Is that true? Doesn’t sound correct to me. His mud was very thin as well. Yours looks thicker and doesn’t move as much as his.

    • @homemend
      @homemend  2 роки тому +1

      Hey Mario that’s a great question. The mud covers the majority of it you might see a little of the silver metal showing through on the very very edge of the corner but for all practical purposes the mud covers everything. I hope this helps

    After removing the jam, can I not just install the metal corners and mud right over the frame instead of putting up more drywall ? Just to keep the space as big as possible.

      Hey Kevin as long as the mud will stick to it technically you can, drywall just gives you a smoother surface to finish.

      Hey Michael, that should be a mudding… It’s called joint compound. Or drywall mud.

    Hi, my laundry room is an addition and apparently the previous owners built the door after they put in the washer/dryer but they didn't measure the door space. We had to remove the door and tear out the door jamb to the laundry room to remove the washer and dryer, now we're trying to figure out how to repair the door frame. We just want to put an accordion door or a folding door of some sort instead of the regular door. If we finish the door frame like in the video - could an according door be installed in the space? Thanks

    • @homemend
      @homemend  3 роки тому +1

      Absolutely sister. The bifold door would be a little fancier than the accordion but both will work. Thanks for watching!

    What if my drywall is short?
    The wood, under the doorway pieces you removed, is protruded out and the drywall is set back. Do I have to add slivers of drywall? I have a section that's a 1/4 too short and a section that is 1-1/4 too short. Seems weird to add such small pieces? Please help! Thank you!!!

      Hi Courtney! No sweat. Yes. You would need add the little pieces and mud them or go with taller baseboards to cover. You got to this.

    What if its a metal jam that used to be the back door that led to the backyard, but now leads to an addition on a 60 year old house? And the jam is part of a cinder block house as well.

    • @homemend
      @homemend  Місяць тому

      Great questions. Just by the comment I would have to say the metal door jam would have to be removed boxed in with some framing wood and then covered with drywall. I hope this helps.

      I know this comment is a year old, but for small jobs Home Depot has spray cans that have the texturing for you! Use it before you paint, shake well and do a practice run on a something first. Very handy for patches too!

    I have an issue and Dilemma. First time homebuyer here what are partially finished basement and not very attractive paneling that is unfinished. Gaps in corner walls that need trim and a huge area That could probably fit a double door. The door jam is kind of sunk in it’s not flush, I know I need a piece of drywall in there. Forgive me I am not savvy with terminology here I am learning. I am unclear what you are calling the metal corner strips that you are muddying. My question is Can I mud over that piece that is paneling? When I am finished I will put Trim on the corners, it seems to be my only option. I’m going to sand and paint the paneling in the whole basement eventually. Any suggestions? There isn’t much information on working with paneling on the Internet since it’s so outdated. Thank you in advance.

      I don’t mind doing a little work and getting my hands dirty. I actually enjoy Learning anything I can. I’ve been painting and did some drywall work installed counters kick boards and splash boards since I was a teenager but this is new for me. My upstairs of the house is all newly remodeled and the biggest kitchen cabinets but I fell in love with and many of them ha ha

      Hey see shell. For starters you rock. So cool and I know you will love that basement just as much as the rest. “Corner bead “ are the metal corners or “ drywall corners” you can apply mud over the paneling if needed. It’s not the ideal practice but will work and after everything is painted, no one will know. Lol. It sounds like you know exactly what needs done. If you need additional help shoot me an email or jump on the mighty network to share pics and questions etc. I’m here to help ! You got this. Thehomemender@gmail.

      Hey Ian if you’re going over with drywall and drywall corners it won’t really matter if it’s plumb or not. You could still finish the doorway with drywall mud. Of course you could try to knock the bottom of the wall over to plumb it. I hope this helps
