How-To DIY- Removing an existing interior door and sealing the opening with drywall
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- In this video, I demonstrate how I removed a door in a Day Spa to reduce the sound into a treatment room from the product area. I used solid panel insulation, expandable foam sealant and sheet rock. I also demonstrate how to float out cracks, smooth and texture drywall. The sand added to the drywall mud helps it sip off the drywall knife. It's how my father taught me, so try it or attempt your drywall texture without it. Either way, you will learn what you like or don't like! ENJOY!
I like thorough workmanship, trustworthy
Thank you, nice comments are welcome and appreciated.
Thank you very much Michael, this is exactly what I have been looking for, I am definitely going to do this to a room that has a walk-through. You rock you just made this gal very happy.
I stopped doing vids a while back but I'm starting again. I'm also going to be better at replying to comments, thanks for your nice comment.
And to think I was going to pay someone to do this for my Craftroom that has two doors for some odd reason. Nope. I’m going to do it myself. Thanks.
How’d it go?
Also curious how it went. I'm very inexperienced when it comes to stuff like this but it seems pretty straight forward as long as you get the right material and do it properly.
Thanks for sharing this......I really loved the fact that you showed every step! I'm a new homeowner for an old house (1959); and the previous owner turned 2 bedrooms into 1 and the layout is terrible. There's a door to the bathroom from the bedroom, but just outside the bedroom door is the main door to the same bathroom. What a waste! I can't use the wall in the bedroom because of that door....so now that I've seen exactly how to do it......I feel more confident into tackling this project! Thanks again!!! :)
This honey thanks you. I can't find anyone to show up and work in Denver. Crazy busy market. Now I can do it myself. Again, thank you.
Hope it works out for you! Let me know if you need more pointers, happy to give input.
Excellent tutorial, I am going to tackle this project this week. Thank you.
Really helpful! Thank you very much for sharing!
Great video, very helpful. I also enjoyed your background music
This is a perfect video description for my needs. i own a spa and need to enclose 2 doorways and soundproof. My question for you is fiberglass tape versus paper. Please clarify using one versus the other. The fiberglass seems so much easier than the tape . Why not use just fiberglass. Please advise. I'm not sure if I have the courage to do this but if I figure I can hire someone if I don't succeed. I've done some basic carpentry Yikes.!! Thanks in advance for the infol
That foam in a can….. I learned my lesson the hard way lol’
Wear gloves my hands were covered in that junk for like 2 weeks before it finally washed off’
Yeah, if you have used the foam often, it's gonna happen that it becomes part of you!:)
Just a question for you. How come you didn’t put a vertical 2x4 stud in the middle of the doorway to give more support to the drywall? I am from Canada where we call Sheetrock drywall.
Perhaps fire blocking is not code in his area that is what the vertical studs withing the stud bay is for.
Wow. You’re an excellent teacher. I never payed this much attention in class. Maybe because the teachers didn’t look like you☺️
In all seriousness, excellent video. I feel like I can do this myself. Thanks
Hi, so I am removing an unwanted door. The walls are plasters it's an old two-family home. I have a good understanding of what to do. But I just want to know can I use Chirac to close that door?? Or do I have to use plasterboard??
you are cool man..... thanks for sharing. you have taught me soooo much with your videos
Thank you for the nice comments, new vids coming soon. Stay posted and take care.
Great tutorial! But I'm a bit clueless about why the need to "texture" and put sand in? Was the original wall textured? Or is this just something that helps the whole process? I'm a looking to enclose a door on a wall that seems pretty smooth to me.
Would be nice to see the final product and the other side of the wall
What is the fibre glass tape for?
Hi Michael, can you provide a list of materials used?
Great video! Is it possible to use the old doorlining to place the new plasterboards and the skim/plaster all together somehow? Just concerned about any potential structural issues after removing the old door lining. Thanks!
Great video. Thanks for posting. Might have a go myself now.
Thanks, let me know how it goes. New vids coming, stay tuned.
So the first panel is just fit into place without really being attached to anything?
That would have been nice to know.. I don't know how he fit that panel in, and also why he didn't just frame it with 2x4 studs and insulate it regularly.
do the same thing on the other side -- I assume ..
TY -- great vid ..
Should I put a stud in between the door?
Mike, I can't thank you enough for this video. I to filled in a door but have a door sized indaent because the drywall wasn't as thick as the lathe and plaster. I'm going to float it in BUT, the wall has been painted and left like that for a few years. Do I need any prep work on a smooth painted surface before floating out the indent? I would love your suggestions. Thanks again ... Big Bob
Big Bob Exley No. 6months late but might be useful to someone else.
Bob, been soooo long since I've posted and I'M BACK! Did you ever finish the job? Do you still need info or are you golden? Look for new vids soon, take care.
Very nice thanks!!
Hi Great video! I do have a question, if there is wood flooring, what do you normally do? remove the floor or build the frame on top? TiA :-)
Hi Monica, sorry for the late response. You can do both, the easy way would be nail or screw a 2x4 to the floor and then install the 2x4 studs. Some contractors would cut out the flooring so that the 2x4 is in-line with the two sides but it's not necessary. Hope that helped. Prolly finished already anyway, more vids coming soon, take care.
How much does this whole process cost?
I have to do the same thing. I have a question. What if the floor is concrete? How do I install the bottom 2x4 on the concrete?
Home Depot sells a nail gun, manual one to shoot a nail through the 2b4 into the concrete.
6mm masonry bit, then use a masonry screw
Thanks @michaelroberson the mud work helped with my door jamb repair.
I'm glad it helped you out, more vids coming soon. Been a long time since I've posted. Take care.
Enjoy these videos coach - Grazie
Can you make another video about the texturing part
What if the floor is concrete? What do I use to install the bottom 2x4?
I would glue it down with silicone or liquid nails, and nail or screw it to the sides on and angle, so you'd have to put the side timbers in before the bottom 2x4..but I'm not an expert so..lol

dude..u rock..
Thx brother, new vids coming soon.
new subscriber great info
No supporting frame? I would put the supporting studs, but that’s me.
Did not see you float it
sunscribed!
Anyone actually try this and it was a success?
I’d be so afraid of the house falling on me
👏💞😉⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks.
I'm a honey (sexy grinn) hehe
Full of shit 😆, you messed up the patch and was too thick with your coat so you took it the whole way 😂. 👍
A whole load of messing about aswell if you ask me mate. Just frame it , insulate it, board it, tape joins and skim it with plaster mate and take off the edges and blend it it’s not rocket science , what a mess about that was it hurt my head lol
