Basically, I'm DIY building most of an extension (i.e., no builders or contractors involved - just trades I get in as needed) and we'd like a oak door and frame. Because it's new, the door is going to be sat in the reveal by like 150mm+, so there'll be no architrave.
So, plasterer recommended that I build a dummy frame in-situ for him to board up against. This makes sense as I've hard bad things about plaster and oak. It also means we can do the door and frame last, rather than have everything come in and out through it.
But...then what next I guess is my question. Chippie is going to come along remove my frame and install our fancy door. No matter how good he is, I don't imagine the new frame will true up 100% and I'm nervous about knackering anything. A bit of caulk will go so far, but does anybody have any tricks and trips on how to get this thing finished to a really high standard?
