Hi,
I built this small frame-and-panel door to cover the access to the plumbing of my bathroom:

have a couple of questions about the frame:- What is the best way of attaching it the wall? I used brad nails (the ones with tiny hats that with small indentations for punching in).
Would using a nail gun have been appropriate and easier?
- Should I have connected the three pieces of the frame together before attaching the frame to the wall? I didn't. I felt that the sheer
from nailing the individual pieces to the wall would have broken the connections b/w the pieces. As a result, the lines of contact b/w the pieces came out quite sloppy.
If I should have put the frame together before attaching it to the wall
what is the proper way of doing it? Several ideas come to my mind: little joiners on the back, brackets, nails.
Very many thanks in advance!
