Default Doors and Out of Plumb Walls

Yeah. We just built a house and we are in the process of finishing
it. Our framer actually did an exceptional job of keeping everything
very straight and plumb.

Except once.

We had one entry closet door that was a little out of plumb on one
side; and a little out in the opposite direction on the other side.
And the damned thing was a narrow 20" door. We fought the thing with
me on the inside of the tiny closet and the wife outside trying to get
it workable. When I started trimming, I ended up removing it,
rehanging it and modifying every bit of trim to make it work. Glad I
didn't have to do that on every door.


You guys ever hear of using a persuader to move the bottom of the wall at
the door openings? Often saves a lot of horsing around... even with rock
hanging and taped it works pretty well. ;~)
