I need a doorway put into a plasterboard wall, around four times the width of a standard door. At this stage an actual door doesn't need fitting. The purpose is to join our lounge with another room to let a bit of light in. Are there any builders here?

Cheers

Peter

If it is just a stud partition wall a carpenter should be able to sort it out for you.

Yes it is just a stud wall, probably cut it with a stanley knife! I would do it myself, but I am too cack handed!

Will have a word with Gary.
