What happens here

To create a clean and finished look, the existing drywall around the pantry opening is removed to make way for new door jambs. Pine 1x3 lumber is cut to size using a table saw. These new jambs are then installed around the opening, using shims where necessary to ensure they are perfectly square and flush with the cabinet. A flush saw is used to trim the excess shim material, and then a nail gun is used to secure the jambs in place. This provides a solid frame for the new door.

Goal: Frame the pantry opening for the new bifold door
