All new jambs, doors, casing and base. Casing, 1x4 sides and 1x6 header with 1x4 for the baseboard.
I've just done the Master bath so far. 2 doors. I ran the 1x6 header across/over the 1x4 sides. Back glued, shimmed and nailed. Ready patch, sanded and painted. Looks great.
No end grain issues as this is MDF crisp square edges. Let' not have a debate please.
Now my question is............My buddy says I should run the 1x4 sides up to the top of the 1x6 header in the center. Is there a right or a wrong way? Was going to pre-check the rest of openings after jamb install with scrap pcs. at all intersections to see which way might be better.
Waiting on the last five doors from lumberyard so I have some time to dwell on this. Hopefully they come in Monday
