    Mike, my man, you handle the haters so well. I don't know how you do it. Telling them to leave their "helpful" comments is a gracious way of putting it. That was 1-800-SUPERPRO

    When doing the trim, it's much easier to do one of the sidetrims first, then the top trim and the last sidetrim. Reason being that starting with both sidetrims results in having to match 2 opposite 45 degree angles. Finishing of with one of the sidetrims instead let you match the 45 degree cut in one end and the easily finecut the length at the 90 degree cut :)

    👏 proud that you are trying all this stuff yourself! Tip for the doors. Be sure to caulk around the edges of the door as well as any area with gaps with caulk. Don’t use spackle! it will crack over the years and door caulk will last much longer.

    It's also a recommended when doing casing to glue your miters. They will be less likely to open as the materials expand and contract with temperature changes. Miter springs clamps are great to clamping the miter while the glue dries.

    Maybe this tip will help you, or someone reading this comment. I used to put my level on the floor and shim it up like you did, but instead now I just hold my level up across the opening horizontally infront of me and mark a line at each side of the opening. You can then measure from the floor to your lines and itll tell you how out of level the floor is.

    When I'm using a level, I'll flip it side for side as the vials may shift over time. If it does, then you split the difference between the flips.

    I followed this tutorial and the only thing I would change is to install the knobs before you fasten the door knob side. I installed 3 doors and 2 of them were just off enough for the door not to latch.

    dont miter the door trim. take a 1/2x6 and do a larger header with a 1/2" overhang of the side trims on each side. this will be more modern and easier to install.

    Pro tip. Don’t follow Mikes instructions.
    Being a Finish Carpenter for over 30 years. It was very painful watching his horrible technique installing the pre hung door.
    Measure twice cut once. You would not have the big gaps to fill in. Which will crack over time.

    • @MSeroga
      @MSeroga 11 днів тому

      I feel your pain. I've been a finish carpenter for over a decade. I just didn't wana say anything because the end result wasn't bad for a DIYer... except no glue on the miters = recipe for disaster later on.
