Thumbs up! No annoying music, got straight to the point and provided valuable information. Thank you

I've watched this video and your baseboard video. I like that you show some problem solving during the video. Also, you only talk about what needs to be talked about. . . without giving your whole life story and I appreciate that.

I had the same issue but solved it a different way. I sprayed door and window expanding foam. It will expand and look bubbly and flowing. Don't panic, let it fully cure. Then take a utility knife and trim it to match the door jam profile. Sand it if needed to fine tune. Then put a coat of joint compound on to seal the poures. Let that dry and sand smooth. Prime and paint.

When I used the mini wax wood filler the smell was so strong it smelled up my whole house for about 3 days. It was kinda cold out but I had to open all my windows and turn the fan on. I asked one of the workers at Lowe's if there was something different I could use as I still had a lot of deep scratches in all the woodwork to fill in and other places also he recommended Spackling. My goodness, what a difference. There was no smell, it was so much easier to work with and dried 3 times faster and covered with paint a whole lot easier. I use the spackling for all my wood fill in's now and have not had it come out. I highly recommend the spackling for wood fill in's. I also used it at my daughters house to fill in holes in her sheet rock and it worked so much better than trying to use joint compound. I bet it can be used on just about any kind of fill in that you need to fill.

You can also use a pin nailer to lessen the chance of splitting the piece. Excellent job overall

I have used bondo for things like that also, works well and sands easy.

Awesome job, i think i might have a bigger opening than you after we redid the floors, so i may have to rethink the sizing to do the jams. Thanks

[christopherhenderson]

Thank you someone messed my door jams up it looks horrible again thank you!

[xbrizzcakez]

nice job, my only advice to anyone doing this is to take a few minutes and sand and prime the pieces of wood before nailing, its much easier in hand than to prep and prime when it`s tight to the flooring.

Thanks for sharing- I’m about to do a few jambs myself after a whole floor demo and LVP install. Nice job

[uncleval]

I normally cut jamb to allow at least a 5" piece so it doesn't blow out and Bondo to contour and finish - keeping 1/16" off the finished flooring to allow for movement. Otherwise great job - keep up the good fight!! 🤠👍

[Forged_Garage]

Nice bro!!! That tool is really helpful!

[ivanwill]

Another nice job. However, curious why you removed the notch 2:11? Even more so, considering you then had to 'add' one of sorts.

[arth.]

Well done. Never completely thrown away left over wood.

[johnasp]

Never thought of doing it like that. You proved that it can be done. Good attention to detail.

[CP-ovir]

Do you do the same thing to the door trim?

[Steve]

The door was on the convenient side of the jam, what if it’s not? Reframe and drop door?

[MCNK]

Bopndo makes a household product that is stronger than wood filler--but is harder to sand.
