Unique door install

I need some advice. I am working on finishing the basement in my 1925 house. Two exixting doors are framed into the poured concrete foundation of the house. This concrete is 6" deep. I am framing 1.5 inches off the wall with 2 x 4's. If I move the doors out to the framed wall what do I do with the 6-8" space this creates?

Does anyone have experience here? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks for noticing. I posted in this forum and in the basement forum since it dealt with basemnt walls and doors.

Do you have any helpful advice?

Replacing Patio Screening

J

jimcrockett on Mar 18, 2004

I hope this is the right forum for this question. I have a screened patio. All screen frames are 1" wood with a slot routed on the edges facing the inside of each frame (10 screens). The existing screening is held in by splines in these routed grooves. Last year I tried to replace the screening in some of the smaller frames and, while I managed to get it done, it doesn't look great and took forever. The corners are extremely difficult as you might imagine. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on an easier method to replace the screening in the remainder of the windows (large 60"H x 42" W, or thereabouts). Thanks. JimC:(

My insulated glass in the garage door and both family room patio doors has a defective thermal-pane seals causing the glass to hazy. How can I fix this? (don't have much money to spend)
