Pantry

[cgrutt]

Quick project for customer needing more storage space in kitchen. Pulled out A/C unit and patched up hole in wall. Framed 42x25 pantry. Going to hang some shelf standards and put in several 20" wire mesh shelves she can always add more if needed. Will finish tomorrow.

Question for you CG. This closet door is no big deal since there's no load above it, but why did you run the 2x4 headers on the flat?

Screwed it together on floor and screwed it up lol...

 

[Jchrisls]

Since there isn't a load a header a vertical header isn't neccessary. The horizontal 2x4 is sufficient, and more cost effective

Love the honesty. Totally refreshing.

 

[Jchrisls]

Grutt, someday we need to swap war stories over brews....

Same exact cost. Same exact lumber. Just a 90° rotation of orientation.

Ah, but the vertical orientation would require 2x the 2x4s to make up the thickness of the jamb, hence less material, hence less cost

 

[cgrutt]

Putting it vertically would have also required a 1/2" filler between the 2x4s didn't even think about it really. The framing isn't even attached to house wall yet it's just free standing and not load bearing.

Yeah, but my 1930 balloon frame house has headers like that above the windows.

Stick some locking casters on it and make it mobile.

They are basically a nailer for trim. That's usually why they are doubled above a door on a non load bearing wall.

My old house did too. Archways thay were 6’ wide too. Then The asshole that installed the sliding glass doors layers a 2x4” vertically and cut it in half because there wasn’t enough room. He removed the plaster above and drywalled it. I ripped out all the plaster and drywalled the entire room. Too bad he didn’t have a brain because I was able to add double 2x8”‘s as a real header in the space above so it was solid wood from above the sliders all the way to the framing for the second floor. Much much stronger.

 

[cgrutt]

So pretty much got project finished ... and shelves are about 1/2" too wide... ugh... my bad I didn't account for the 1" bracket sticking off wall lol. Going to swap them out for 16s tomorrow morning all good.

Screwed a piece of 3/4" sheathing to some new studs and covered with house wrap.



Picked up some 8" bevel board. Its primed pine not cedar and slightly narrower than original but came out good. Caulked and ready for paint...



Sheet rocked inside and out and put on about 3 coats of 20 min Easy Sand. Going to put a final coat of regular mud tomorrow morning.



Hate Luan doors but matches the rest of house lol...

 

[masterswimmer]

Looks great CG.

 

[Saltwater60]

Looks good. I hate Luan doors too.
