Yes in a perfect world the beams in the ceiling will be lined up right where you want them. Unfortunately, construction is far from perfect. And nails are only so long. This helps when the nails won’t reach far enough.

Glad you liked it!

Thats exactly what i do 2x4 cut 45°

Angle for sure or crown will not sit correctly

Yes I’ve done it that way as well. The angle helps. Sometimes it’s just about what you have with you on site.

@@ProHomeByDodgeDesigns How true that is. Whenever we do crown molding I know we'll be putting on walls running parallel with ceiling joists, where you will if at all run into a no nailer situation. so it becomes automatic to have it cut and on hand. You know you can purchase backing precut from some location if all else fails. Keep up the fine work.

Watch our other video for the “Pro Bins”. They come in black and replaced our red bins. The Pro Bins are made from a more durable plastic. The link to purchase the Pro Bins is in the description for that video. They are sold on Amazon.

Yep that works too. This way is just faster and doesn’t require any other tools.

@@ProHomeByDodgeDesigns ÿeah but it will dull the drill and fast. sure if you hardly use it i guess its viable

With enough mud anything is possible

I like SuffX. I’ve used that too. Definitely durable and it also has really nice coverage (even from just one coat). But it doesn’t have the leveling properties that the cabinet coat or advance has.

You bet!

That’s true. But not a common setup.

Yes you can, but that’s riskier. It could twist the hinge if the door slips. But even more likely is that the hinge won’t line up perfectly. The slightest bit off can shift the hinge over and crush some of the wood that’s around the hinge mortise, which can look less professional. I’ve seen it many times, especially on softer doors like pine.

They’re great! I use them for so many different things!

So unfortunately, that’s a tough question because there are lots of variables. But assuming it’s a standard door in a standard frame, then just measure the width of the door itself (without the door jamb or trim). Common sizes are 28”, 30”, and 32”. The measurement might be slightly smaller than those measurements because the doors are typically cut down slightly on one side after being built. Standard height is typically 80”. Obviously these are US measurements. They would be different internationally. But unless you plan to install the door yourself then I suggest you hire a carpenter to make sure the size is correct. Sometimes people make custom size doors that look the same as standard doors. Good luck!

Yes, absolutely

haha good idea

That’s obviously the best solution. As a carpenter that’s what I would normally do. This is for the homeowner who doesn’t have the time or money to fully reset the door.

I understand your point. As a carpenter I often come across houses that have multiple doors that are either stuck or out of plumb. That could definitely be part of a bigger issue (like foundation or structural framing issues). However, this particular door was just improperly installed. It’s an isolated issue for this house.

Yes it does!

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Yeah it’s an easy and effective solution. Glad it worked for you.

new selling point

This particular house doesn’t have an hvac system. Either way, I understand your point. But that really only applies when the door is closed already. I often tell homeowners they need to cut more off the bottom of their doors to improve their hvac efficiency. This door was just badly out of plumb.

@@ProHomeByDodgeDesigns understandable
