Advice on installing sliding door closet

I am framing out an opening for a sliding closet door in my basement and had a 2 questions: 2) The closet doors is adjacent to a sheetrock wall. Can the door just close up against the sheetrock wall, or is there suppose to be something like a 2X4 or door jamb on the side of the frame? What is usually done on the sides? You could butt the door against the drywall but the problem will be getting both the vertical closing line and the bottom of the door relative to the floor looking nice and neat. If I were doing it, I'd put 2x of appropriate width on the walls at each end; I'd make 1" deep groves in each slightly wider than the thickness of the doors; I'd but a bumper in each groove. The doors will fit into these mini-pockets and you don't have to worry about the vertical alignment relative to the wall. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
