hanging doors on metal studs

F

firsttimer on Aug 01, 2002

Does anyone have any tips on how to apply door jams and hang doors onto metal studs? The total thickness of my walls is 2 and 5/8 inches consisting of a 1 and 5/8 inch stud faced with 1/2 inch drywall. My doors are solid pine and are not pre-hung. I intend to by 1 x 3s for my jams and screw them into the studs. I assume that I would place the screws where the door stops will be placed so that the stops cover up the screws. Any advice would be appreciated.Read More

replacement window

on Aug 04, 2002

I have a window that the jams and frame have been cut (the previoius owners cut it to fit an air conditioner), I have another window that is the exact same size that I am removing to make the room bigger (it separates the porch from the living room), can I use that window for the replacement of the other window? I'm not sure if you can do that or would a new window be better? any advice is greatly appreciated.Read More
