They need to make that monkey go to commission-based pay. If he/she only gets paid when a contract they approved is billing, they'll be less likely to squabble over these things, and I bet they'd be a little more proactive about getting things moved along.

 

Haha Good idea Brendan

 

Good Morning People!

I think Danny has been over seas long enough that when he left Twitter wasnt popular.

 

twitter has been around for 4 or 5 years, iirc

ok, I am off for my massage! be back later!

 

Ya but it has gotten really popular in the past 6 months to a year. I didnt know what it was till a few months ago.

 

No tweeting for me. Whats the point of letting everyone know what youre doing every minute of the day?! Seems like you would be wasting a lot of the day just updating that...

 

My life isn't interesting enough to report what I am doing all day long

 

I agree...mine isnt either. Facebook rarely gets an update from me! Ususally its like a week old...

 

need help guys:

my buddy just left. he helped me get my armoire in the house, but with the carpeting & size of the door opening, it's about 1/2" too tall to get pushed in, and it cannot be rotated/angled in any way other than stood upright because of other walls

sooo...

can I just knock out the soffit of the wooden door frame or do I need to take out the entire frame?

 

Added some more to the video project:

 

1. Can the legs be removed? If so, there's your ticket. If not... the structure is tediously put together as in the image below...

The real problem is that your door header framing is sitting on top of the jack (or trim) stud which is what your interior door frame is attached to. You are better off removing the entire trim and interior door frame to get that 1/2 inch, but then you're going to have to do the same when you move it back out of the room, too. Can you possibly get it in through a window as an alternative?

If you simply cut through the header framing through the top, you'll lose all structurual strength over the door and it will eventually sag and crack the cheetrock after you've completed the work.

Yeah... removing and reinstalling the entire door frame is your best bet if you can't remove the legs or get it in through a window.

Here's a decent link to replacing a prehung door, which I've only included because it shows how the door frame it attached to the wall framing that is illustrated below.

EDIT:
Thinking a little more about your question.... the way the door frame is put together, to try to just remove the top piece will result in virtually destroying it altogether. It will be easier to remove the entire frame as a single piece, just like it was when it was installed to begin with.

Also, I'm not sure of how much framing knowledge you have or don;t have, so if these details are too baby-ish for you, forgive me... I just wanted to make sure to include enough info to cover the issue completely.

 

Looking good Scott!

 

Good morning everyone! How is every one's day going so far?

 

If you want to save and reuse the door frame, you'll have to completely remove it. If you knock the head out of it, it will likely be destroyed.

 

thats a great video Scott!

yeah...if its a prehung door, the whole door will need to be removed.

Massage was great!! Just need to drink plenty of water now for the rest of the day..

It's sposed to reach 109°!! that sucks after 97° this weekend...
