Fixing up a 1950s prefab house. Recessed medicine cabinet was rusted beyond repair, and space limitations would make a surface-mount unattractive.
Rough opening is about 19.5" high and 29.5" wide. Can anyone please suggest a source for a recessed unit to fit in this space?
Thanks very much!
Have any friends that do woodworking? ww
You'll have to frame in a new opening, just like people do for a window that is wider than the spacing between studs. no a biggie unless the wall is a supporting wall.
I was thinking sort of the same thing. If the door is decent, it would talke little effort to make a back and four sides -- doesn't have to be rabbited or anything -- and provision for shelves. It would impress the OP's friends. It could be even bigger than the door maybe, the maximum size that will fit in the space.
Even a new door wouldn't be so hard to make. Coudl be attached after the rest was in place.
