Hello
The doorframe is nailed in, and is on a partition wall, so not load bearing or anything. I would like to replace the door frame as I'm varnishing the bare wood and after stripping the white gloss I find it to be in a bit of s state. However, I'd like to do it without destroying the plaster around it.
I would plan to carefully chisel around the nails and use a claw to pull them out, rather than jimmying the frame out from behind.
Is there a good chance of doing this successsfully, or is breaking the plaster usually inevitable?
Thanks
Alex
