Obvious question:

Why aren't you making the carpenter fix it?

If he destroys the trim, it's his responsibilty. Take pictures before
he touches them again, and remind him (politely) of the power of those
pictures in small claims court.

Hi all,

Well, we hired a carpenter to install several interior pine doors...and
he really botched it. The doors are hung visibly crooked Is there
a way to remove the jams without destroying them...so we can re-hang it
correctly?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
