The door in my basement has seen better days, but I am a little confused as to how to replace it, due to the concrete someone has laid on the outside of it.
Some background (this door seems like a non-standard size?):
Actual Door Size: 34 3/4" x 78 1/2"
Rough Opening Size: 35" x 79 1/2"
Jamb Size: 7 1/4"
My options I have figured out:
1) Go to lowes and purchase a custom door (steel or fiberglass in a HIGH moisture area?), and simply bolt it into the existing frame?
2) Or - Remove 1 set of the 2 x 6's that's in the frame, giving me a more standard sized opening. (Is this possible?)
What to do about the concrete? Simply notch the new frame? It cannot be removed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Nathan.
