Hi,
after researching I’ve started building doors to my coal bunker (presume the old ones rotted off as they were gone when I got here)
I’ve built a frame from 2 by 2 and screwed into the brickwork - see pic
I let the top of the old frame in and built below as it’s attached to the lintel and i don’t want to disturb it.
so, all went well but the post on the right
It wobbles - this is because I (stupidly didn’t put anything behind it (there’s a small gap - I can’t go directly up to the brick.
To make matters worse one of the screws heads is knackered so I can’t get it out.
What would you do? Slide some thin wood in? Put another 2 b 2 behind it and butt up?
the other side is fine.
I was thinking putting compo in behind and waiting for it to set.
ideas welcome
