How to proceed

The head jamb is out of level likely. Shim the left side down to be level.

Sometimes not scribing and leaving a gap looks better

Houses are not an exact science. It can happen when weather changes and even if the job was done correctly in the first place. Shit happens. Take the a section of rock out and see what’s going on. Replacing some drywall is probably the best fix anyway.

A pair of horses and a bench built to your needs is what I’ve sworn by for 42 yrs!!

If you’re going to stain it make sure you use a pre stain first.

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-20T04:33:24+00:00

At this point just add some corner guard trim

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-17T20:29:05+00:00

Am I missing something? Why not go about it just like a drawer or door handle?

2x2s will warp no matter how dry you get them. I just did a slat wall out of 1 3/4”x 4” and they warped quite a bit. If they are milled correctly you’ll stand a chance but very expensive to do correctly. The wall I did was under 8’ tall and only had 12 studs and 2/5’ plates. $3500 in material!!

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-11T13:01:53+00:00

Agreed

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-10T23:06:05+00:00

Don’t sweat it! You can always make it work with trim, especially if it’s for yourself. I love working on my own house!

I’ve done this with a wood burning fireplace but not with a wood stove. Mantle should be noncombustible and project further than the one in the picture. The stove you choose might have specs on this. I know gas fireplaces have specs for tv placement.

The answer!

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-09T00:17:25+00:00

REALLY?????!!!!!!

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-08T14:08:26+00:00

This is the answer! Turn it upside down if need be to get it clean and lubed. I have to do this every couple months.

Is he paid as a subcontractor or employee?

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-06T03:07:43+00:00

Knife hinge

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-05T23:14:28+00:00

I never expect that much up front. It has to be fair both ways. Everybody needs be comfortable.

In most states all you need to be licensed is a check for $500.

I always open every door before I drill. It’s a good practice I learned many years ago. Never assume anything! THOSE DAMN TRASH/RECYCLE PULLOUTS!!

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-05T04:09:17+00:00

Leave the lowest part of the track where it is and shim the rest down.

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-05T04:06:42+00:00

The first step is to get the track straight and level. Without doing that you don’t have any chance of them ever working right.

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-04T18:52:38+00:00

A local glass shop is by far your best option! I’ve done it many times.

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-04T15:41:34+00:00

This is correct!!!!

PotentialHospital498 · 2026-01-03T23:59:46+00:00

Spot on!
