How to Widen a Doorway

[@erit3662]

Getting ready to expand a closet door. This is so helpful and straight forward!

[@austingray1359]

Same! how'd it go?

[@tracybrown4941]

In most of the videos that show your own home, it seems like you try so hard to make this home beautiful for your wife. I'm sure she appreciates all your handiwork! Great job as usual!

[@Butterball3588]

Great video! Thanks for the help. 8:03 I have used a utility knife in place of a saw. They snap right off after you score the shims a few times. I also would have done the mud work before tacking the trim in place. Looks great though!

[@LowLevelLemmy]

I love this guy.

[@sadokbarbouche9427]

he's right "you turn you turn you turn" well what do you want to do?

[@cheapshotninja]

@@sadokbarbouche9427 yeah, seems like she's trying to invent an issue to justify them paying her for something. Otherwise she would show up, say 'this place is fine' and go home. Now we get to see her confusion about that odd snakey thing.

[@sadokbarbouche9427]

@@cheapshotninja yep exactly

[@EricBeck]

Always terrific videos! I do wish that you would include fastener length. For instance, "Use 3" screws on all toenailing". Etc. But again, the videos are clean, well-produced, you're a terrific guide, and your attention to detail is much appreciated.

[@Post_Oak_]

Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to show us how its done right

[@AdamDaley1]

1:55 I love how he's doing this to protect the drywall he's about to take a sled hammer to lol. I mean I get it, he's demonstrating how to remove a casing as well, just found it funny.

Great job I did enjoy watching this video. Cheers from Poland

[@sayswice5621]

Super thorough and helpful! Thank you for posting!

[@dannyshows]

Thank you for sharing, informative!

[@Ok-gm7qx]

Wow. Bless you. I need to extend my room to add in a child's room and a kitchen ,sitting room and a gallery.The saw and drill machine look unsafe and a bit scary. The space is there,but it's above the gaurds room and not allowed.

[@10tenman10]

Excellent video.

[@TheGoodHeart1000]

This man is a saint!

[@stevenburdick805]

Nice video....how did you fix the hole in the floor?

[@faramarzattar9317]

How they did flooring under the old wall ? Did they do flooring before framing because when he remove the frame you can see same flooring!!!!

[@ptmoy1]

I assume you replaced a couple of floor boards to get rid of that big hole in the floor. How did you get the new floor vanish to match the old?

[@christophermcdonough3466]

Wow. This video is so comfortable to watch and so easy to listen too. Not once did I have to go back. Great I can't wait to widen my closent door.

[@michaelhardy8589]

Great this video

[@HomeCraftChronicles]

I like the way it turned of but do have a couple issues. First, the is no mention made to be certain that this wall was not load bearing. A very important detail to know before you stay cutting out studs. Second, installing the casing before you mud? I would've done it the other way around.

[@albertestremera1861]

I agree with the no mention of load bearing. i want to do something similar and although a lot of other videos show how to check for load bearing, it would have been a nice addition here. I do like the video overall.

[@robertschell1788]

What did you do to sprinkler head

[@dallaseagle6388]

You had me at Japanese Hand Saw! Haha

[@robertgreatsinger9179]

Beautiful

[@stoneice57]

Good video. Laughed at the wife saying “we achieved”.

[@radosawszmid7822]

It looks like everything is much easier in the US when you don't have to deal with concrete walls...:) Thx, greets from Poland.

[@yrtuag]

It did look great but would've liked to see how you finished the small section of hardwood floor.

[@vanderm49]

I'm wondering about that, too. A pretty significant hole left by the sprinkler pipe.

[@macpablo1169]

[@SolitaryMaverick]

He has a video on that.

[@alexanderchuyko4889]

It`s a really nice tutorial! But how to recon whether studs you have removed were load bearing? I have an idea to replace our entrance door from standard 820mm wide to at least 920. Because this is entrance door it has drywall inside. timber frame in the middle and brick veneer outside. I afraid I have to reinforce it first before cutting studs. May be you have a technology how to do this to protect roof collapsing, please?

[@drothers999]

Even if the doorway is not load bearing, I would have preferred to see you put the 2x4 header on edge with a 1/2 plywood filler between them for better support and rigidity.

[@dodgeramsport01]

no need

[@randommusings48]

what is that rotary tool Ron used to used to cut the drywall?

[@6668-x5y]

Is it safe to remove the studs?

[@kristymarie6065]

Thank you!!

[@robertgreatsinger9179]

How long (man labour hrs) did that take?

[@acapulco1231]

IF I need to hire some one to do this job.... Under what name is listed?

[@donnanickell9738]

I'm in dire straights with getting a dryer in my bathroom before Thanksgiving. The door and all framework has been removed and it still needs about 3 inches off. My new dryer is sitting in my dining room. I don't know anyone who is a contractor to cut it and my very handy husband passed in June. I don't care if there is another door put up. What can I do? if anything? Thanks!

[@gagcarrico]

So what do you do if your door opening doesn't end exactly at a wall stud? How do you add the "extra" wall stud that you mount your jack stud to? For example your door opening ended exactly at a preexisting wall stud. My door opening is for a closet door and will come up approximately 10 inches short of the stud. Help? Please?

[@LV-ej8iy]

that final shot made the doorway look so crooked! 🤣

[@mt-nv4jd]

No mention of checking if you're cutting out a load bearing wall? Hmmm.

[@Guardducks]

Much better flow

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

Why not use the new pry bar for trim.

[@Dreamintn]

Great video but seriously .5 mock wall. It looked just fine opened up. 🤷‍♀️

[@kellybakes]

Your wife is a lucky lady!

[@DesertDweller1]

Easy. Paint it with wide paint.

[@anonymousperson4363]

Although, not necessary, it would have made more since to mud/paint the wall before installing the casings.

[@nickpochmara9418]

Is this old footage His workshop looks like it did before remodel?

[@johnthomas424]

Excellent work. You didn't show how you repaired the hole in the floor. Probably sand it, cut out a piece of wood for the whole then revarnished it.

[@patrickyao2835]

Ron must have a very good camera man/woman.

[@tiztiz5839]

my Japanese saw was made in china would that work too?

[@MrStari11]

Who fixed that floor?

[@jaaasgoed]

I think he did, in another video. I don't think these are necessarily being posted in order.

[@paulfasse8032]

Like how she refers to the completed labor as “We”. Don’t believe she touched the wall once. 😂

Used to install sprinklers. I died inside when you cut that

Toenailing isn't putting a screw in at an angle.

[@angelf9800]

How did you know it was not not a Low bearing wall

[@virginiatolles1664]

Where's the light switch? Where's the fire suppression system? Surely, you need to preserve both.

[@jaaasgoed]

It's still there, you can see it at the end. You can also see the pipe for it coming from the left at 7:22. Earlier in the video he said the light switch was not needed because they had a duplicate somewhere else (4:52).
