Hi,



I installed a prehung door in my bathroom. It is square and plumb. After

installing the casing I noticed that the space between the lock side casing

tapers from about 7-1/4" at the top to 6-3/4" at the bottom in the space

between the edge of the casing and the casing on a bifold door on an

adjoining wall. It is very noticeable and I'm wondering what I can do to

make it less visible.



Here are a couple of photos

Any advice appreciated!

Level and plumb often have little to do with what looks right. If the

bricks are out of level and you get religious about running a ceiling

line at true level, it will look wrong, no matter who is technically

right. You need to be more than willing to compromise to circumstances

and existing conditions. Forget dead true plumb (though I wonder how

you are determining) and be willing to compromise to existing

circumstances. Often, a small adjustment to each will make it look

right. Hope this helps. Over 40 working years in the business.
