Somewhat of a newbie home DIY'er trying to learn the process and enjoy the journey.
I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to help answer a question about a new patio door that we installed. Attached are some pictures.
My question: am I correct in believing that I need to add jamb extensions to fit and cover the exposed areas so that I can install the trim around the door?
Well that's about all you CAN do now that it's installed. Normally you would order a door that is the right wall thickness for your wall so that you don't need to do anything unusual. Typically if you have to add a jamb extension, you do it on the OUTSIDE so that the interior jamb, hinges and threshold can all be flush with the interior wall surface.
I have some trim along the stairs that has never terminated cleanly. I'd like try to correct this since Im replacing the adjoining wall. I'm not sure how to clean it up so I'm Looking for advice on how to finish both the chair rail and the base molding above the stringer. Should they both be extended so they turn the corner and them somehow end on the adjoining walls ? Here's a pic of what I currently have.

Hi everyone,
I've been searching the interwebs for a situation similar to this, but haven't found one yet, so i thought i'd post on here to see if someone had an idea on how to do this.
We are looking to add crown molding to the ceiling and perimeter of the family room/dining room/kitchen, but i'm stuck on whether or not i can make this intersection work. The room to the right is the kitchen and to the left is the entry way and dining room, which is all open concept to the family room. The kitchen ceiling seems to come down about 1.5-2 inches below the top of the wall to the left. Not sure if that's just poor drywallmanship or not.
Crown on the vaulted ceiling seems to be pretty simple, but i cannot figure out how to bring it down and join the walls at this intersection. I feel like the backside of the ceiling crown would end up hanging below the kitchen ceiling, but maybe it would only do that where it would intersect the horizontal crown on the wall? Maybe the bigger issue is the uneven wall?
