Hello, I am going to be putting up a new stud wall to divide a living room and hallway, with double french doors in the middle of the wall. This is the first time I have done anything like this so I am trying to make sure I understand every detail to stop things going wrong. I am going to...

Hmm, why don't you think I have the space for double doors? I understand what you are suggesting, but I want to be able to totally separate the living room from the rest of the house, and the gap you see in the top of the hallway is the opening to the kitchen, which would then need some kind...
