Have a bit of a problem....I am planning to hang French type doors in
between old area of home and new addition. Plan to make door jam myself as
cost of pre-hung doors was quite high. Have purchased all materials and just
beginning project. here is problem I have run into....I just now was
checking the level of the wall, and it is off level about 1/2 inch....the
wall leans out at the top, and the doors will open in. no other problems
that I can see. not sure what to do..I have to hang the doors level, so
should I just split difference and be off 1/4 inch at top and bottom? I
could remove plaster from inside area, and put in some furring strips to
level, then drywall. but then door opening would 1/2 inch wider at the top.
and I am not sure but guess I would have to cut door jam in same fashion,
the side pieces . If I try to leave the way it is the trim will look odd I
think...couple other things-the floors is level and wall thickness is odd
size - 6 1/4 inch. I am using solid oak 1/2" X 8" X 8' which am thinking to
cut and attach 3/4" plywood strips the same size - using 1/2 inch oak to
keep cost down. any ideas?
