said by Ken  :I'm a little unsure of what you are planning. My first thought was that you were going to install a jamb on the inside of the opening and put up casing around the perimeter. Thanks for reading my mind, that is exactly right - a jamb on the inside of the opening with a frame/casing around the perimeter.
I know just enough to know I have to shim the jambs plumb if I remove the drywall, but that seemed a whole lot more stable than installing the jambs on top of the drywall. Especially after nailing the frame/casing to the jambs.
As the earlier poster noted, the drywall has corner beads. And if the studs arent straight, then the existing drywall and corner beads arent either. So I'll be shimming on top of the drywall too?
I was hoping to find someone who has gone the easier route, and left the drywall in place, with some success/tricks if possible? |
