We were going to install Jake’s door this evening. I read it’s easier to finish doors after they are hung so we wanted to get right on it. Brian took some measurements and realized that the door jamb was not wide enough. The doors we bought were designed for drywall and we have plaster, which is thicker. Brian remembered seeing doors with larger jambs at Home Depot, but thinks they were too large for our purposes. He’s going to double-check, but it’s not looking good. Unfortunately neither one of us thought to check this measurement before we headed to the store.
Back to the drawing board–quite literally, perhaps.
