Author Content bigcityal Menasha, WI (Zone 5a) March 5, 2006 5:27 PM Post #2089045 I am putting up drywall over an existing wall that had panel and texture paint on it. I think that I will put the framing over the drywall in areas like this and then add out on the frame. photo 1 Click the image for an enlarged view. bigcityal Menasha, WI (Zone 5a) March 5, 2006 5:32 PM Post #2089059 the front door section is tricky. I can't do the same thing here. I either have to cut off the existing section of door frame for the drywall section to fit under or have it butt up to it and maybe put some trim on it. photo 2 Click the image for an enlarged view. bigcityal Menasha, WI (Zone 5a) March 5, 2006 5:37 PM Post #2089072 Here is a side shot of one of the door frames. Does anybody have any suggestions about these plans? thanks, Al Click the image for an enlarged view. BriarRose74 Moon Twp, PA (Zone 6a) March 11, 2006 5:27 PM Post #2105250 Al, Hi there! I did sort of the same and never came up with the finishing solutions, so I will be interested in this too. By the way, no answers doesn't mean anything. I just now found out that there are 2 forum tabs on top... and found this. Previously, I think this would have been in the Handyman forum and I would have seen it. Probably a lot of others out there too, only watch their particular forums and don't know there are this many new ones to peruse! Good luck and let me see pics what you end up doing! ~ Suzi :) bigcityal Menasha, WI (Zone 5a) March 26, 2006 8:17 AM Post #2139909 Here is the current status of the front corner Click the image for an enlarged view. bigcityal Menasha, WI (Zone 5a) March 26, 2006 8:24 AM Post #2139921 Here is a before the challenge on this section was that some of the studs had been removed and screwing in the drywall was a bit trickier.

This is looking up - it's confusing. Most of the work I am doing is to correct all the remodelling done in the '50 to modernize an old house - sound familiar?
