NEW
DOOR IN GARAGE 1 - 5 of 11 pictures in this
group.
Fig. 1
This garage was built by a
family member. Over all they did a great job. To save on money they
bought a door and used the rough opening for the door jamb. This is
not uncommon but it makes it hard when the door needs to be replaced
like this
one.
Fig. 2
The rough
opening was about 2-1/4 inches to small. This meant I needed to cut
part of the stem wall and base
plate.

That also means I had to modify the header above the door.
Fig. 4
Here is the new header. The back backer board is so
I can space the door out 1/2 inch to match the drywall on the
opposite
side.

I had to raise
the floor up to the garage floor level. There is a small trough in
the floor. I don't know why that was put
in.
