first let me say that my apartment was built by polish carpenters, who
have a strange appraoch to building. we have a doorway leading to the
master bedroom we need to add a door to. the doorway is studless, and
is simply cut out of the sheetrock, there might be a few metal studs
somewhere in the wall, but no where close to the door. how do i
install this door? do i just build a frame inside the opening and
attach it to the sheetrock somehow?
Hi,
Don't degrade Polish folks. They are hard working and reliable.
I think you are trying to cut the corners. install more studs upto
door way and build frame, then hang the door.
