The basement isn\u2019t really designed for a door there so it\u2019s been an engineering feat to make it happen. Tonight I finally figured out the easiest and most efficient way to do it, and went for it. I\u2019ve now got the roughed in frame for a 32\u201d doorway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had to start by adding a scab board inside the boxed in area for the kitchen drain. That was fun with a borescope and some creativity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/atmosphericdigitals.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1550-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I removed the finished end cap of the drywall by the stairs and opened it up to the 2&#215;4 stud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/atmosphericdigitals.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1539-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I put in as much of a header as I could with limited space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/atmosphericdigitals.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1552-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I framed the upper part of the doorway for the mini wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/atmosphericdigitals.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1557-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I needed a way to attach to the concrete foundation rather than loose drywall for the hinge area. This was my \u201cah ha\u201d moment tonight. I cut into the drywall and made holes for 2&#215;4 scab boards and attached them with concrete fasteners to the foundation wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/atmosphericdigitals.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1564-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I\u2019ve got a way to attach the other side of the doorway. One more cut, and some plywood shims and now the doorway rough opening is almost exactly 34\u201d, plenty of space for a 32\u201d door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/atmosphericdigitals.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1565-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I got a piece of drywall from Corina and Cruz, cut it to size and installed it.
