Reply to comment by JerseyWiseguy in Any ideas on how to properly conceal this door frame in main living room hallway? by letsstumphannah

That sounds like the best solution! Thank you! We plan on completely replacing the doors, but that is a project for another time.

Thank you again! I hadn't seen that flex board. I'll sand the excess mud and apply that then place the trim corner piece. I already have my paint. I had just planned on just painting and dealing with the bad drywall eventually or just replacing it. However, what's the point of half assing something then having to do it all over again? That's what the previous owners left us with short cuts and half assed work.

If you plan on doing the doors in the near future, then yeah, it should be a good, quick, cheap, temporary fix for you.

One quick tip, from my own experience. The PowerGrab works great on that Polywall--instant hold, and it bonds strong. But since the Polywall is rather thin, and the PowerGrab is actually kind of thick, get yourself something like a scrap board or plastic putty knife or a disposable adhesive spreader, and spread the glue in a somewhat thin, even layer over the back of the Pollywall (don't just make thick lines of glue). Otherwise, when you put it up, you can end up with it looking and feeling lumpy.

Good luck!

Thanks! So this is the current door set up to the furnace.

We did not do this. We will eventually frame the top and replace the doors so there is one set of doors.

Of course a project for a later time. We have a shower that we need to retile first. 😐
