So, how long will it take?

To put up a simple prefabbed pocketdoor frame?

Well, First you have to get the frame,

then you have to put it in.

In our case, all day long.

Hmmm, and haaaed a bit, bought the frame, followed the instructions carefully, roughed in the door frame, then installed the finished frame. Then after a couple of hours fussing with it, went back and read the instructions for about the 27th time, and paid more careful attention, and then pulled the frame back out.

Bob ran home to get his 4' level, as my 7' proved too long to be useful in this case, and I took about 2 minutes, and put the frame back in, then spent about 3 minutes fiddling with it.

Bob came back and we were able to learn the truth. Pulled the frame back out again, and rehung it, again. This time, with fiddling, took about 20 minutes.

So, how long?

6 plus hours for the first one.

Probably 1 hour for the next one.

Shame there won't be a next one.





And no, we didn't get to pressure testing the floor today.

Tomorrow.
