    While installing door casing a couple weeks ago, I had an 18 gauge nail break in half and ricochet (probably hit a framing nail). It came back and whacked me in the orbital bone within 1/2 inch of my eye. Since this incident, I always wear eye protection (The girly skirt of course is still optional). I admit the risk is low with new wood frame-ups, but I would caution anyone to consider the risks in cases where you may not know what's underneath the material you are nailing.

    Rather than replace one of the hinge screws with a long screw, I like to one hinge at a time, remove all 3 hinge screws from the jamb, install a long screw through the jamb behind the hinge, then screw the hinge back in. It helps with my OCD over having one hinge screw that will likely not match the other 2.

    • @Twins22R
      @Twins22R 3 года назад

      Good to go through the top hinge with the long screw because this one has the most stress on it and pine door jambs don't hold the screw forever. After that wood strips out, you'll be putting a long screw in eventually.

    So, you are saying it is not a gun show? A trick that another carpenter showed me was to use a long level and put enough shims on the hinge side to get that straight before putting the frame in the opening. Then you could attach that and focus on getting the clearances on the other side. They were in the business of building houses and they felt that was a faster way to get the alignment.

Every door I’ve found needs a 38 1/4” x 82 rough opening or a 34 1/4” rough opening. Mine is neither. It used to be an exterior door and they framed it in. The doorway is 9 1/2” deep Crazy.
    The wall is so thick because it’s double thick brick walls with plaster .

      Shim at the head jamb and use a level on the head then nail it.

      Lasers are helpful when hanging doors and windows throughout the house that may have low spots in floor.
