Hi All Well I reported in my last post that we were debating whether or not to remove a sliding door, well it has now been taken off.
This makes two glass sliding doors and one wooden door removed to give the rooms a more open look which is the trend these days. So I would not damage the sheet rock to much I had to remove the head board, so I drove a flat wood chisel up between the door jam and the rear of the head board. This allowed me to push in a flat nail bar and while the wife was holding the board I hammered it off banging towards the inside of the room standing under the door opening. It came off cleanly so all we had to do was fill up the nail holes sand off and undercoat. We had to purchase new head boards which now just go over the door openings and I glued them on using no more nails. I clamped them on using sash clamps and left them on for 24 hours as recommended. The base boards have been put back on but strangely we had to cut off a little on each one for them to go back in. I cannot explain why it could be because we re- stained them or the continuous rain we are having caused them to absorb moisture and grow just that little. The furniture is back in and looks great on the floating flooring according to the wife. We still have to paint the hall and the bedroom doors but are now almost done.
