Ok...so...installing prehung interior doors in harder than it looks. We had 10 doors to get installed before the drywallers come on Tuesday. Normally, you wait to install doors until *after* the drywall, but I'm doing a "trimless" drywall installation, so the frames have to be set before.
It took both Katie and me working together with a lot of discussion, trial, and error to finally get our system down. And of course, each door and each door rame is different.
Our first hung door: The bunkroom.
The toilet room door.
The bunk room door from the inside.
The master bedroom door and closet door.
The 8 ft. mudroom closet and toilet room doors.
We finally finished hanging the doors on the top two floors at 11 PM saturday evening. We didn't arrive home until 12:30 AM. Exhausted.
We had to return after church on Sunday to hang the 3 basement doors and get things cleaned-up for the drywallers: Take all the doors off their frames and store them in a safe place so they aren't destroyed by the drywallers. We made sure all the door shims were cut flush. We removed the stair stringers from their perch atop the temporary wall brackets agains the wall and put them back on the floor so we could remove the wall brackets. Then lots of general cleanup to move everything away from the walls.
We arrived about 5 PM and left about 10:30 PM. Once again: Exhausted. Third straight day working at the Haus.
