fers for Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Washington and Westmoreland counties. Deed transfers run every Saturday. Source: RealSTATS. easier. ,1 The temporary avail should be solid, with double and bottom plates and a stud under each joist or rafter.

The temporary wall should be a tieht fit when in place. The studs should be immobile and feci like they have weight on them. The new header, rests on "jack" studs, 2-by-4s (or2-by-6s, if that's, the way the rest of the walls aly built), at either side of the opening. If the span of the header is more than 6 feet, you need double jacjc studs on each side. The heacfer should be installed at the the new door plus at least V4 inchij-consult the directions that come with the door.

Once the header is in place, install short "blocking" studs between the header and the top wall plate. The weight of everything above (roof or upper floors) is supported by the top plate; the blocking, or small studs, will transfer the weight to the header. When the header is in and everything has been nailed, you can remove the temporary wall and let things settle on their new supports. Problems often occur when you're installing a new door in an old house where the structure may have settled, or earlier carpenters were sloppy. In that case, you may need to get fussy with the opening before putting in "the door.

In the kitchen where Randy is installing the new doors, the original opening was larger than the new door, so he and Skip closed it in with plywood to make the new door fit. On the outside, 'wood trim will extend over the edge of the siding, hiding the alterations. In other cases, siding might have to be patched. Most new doors-come with excellent instructions, usually with illustrations, so just about anybody can figure out how to put them in. When the new door is' in place, caulk everywhere the instructions indicate and install metal or vinyl flashing over the top trim of the door to seal it from water.

Bebb Wheeler Stone Included Here, Call Patty: HANGING FIXTURE etched glass in Verdi bronze rience is the big, square, ugly, awkward kitchen in some friends' house that defied remedial help. The homeowners, Karol, Randy and others, struggled for a couple of years to come up with a plan that would make the space more usable.

Finally, a professional kitchen designer looked at the room and said, "Oh, we'll just switch the door and the window on the back wall." And the rest of the design fell into place. Even if you're not renovating an entire room, replacing an ugly door or stubborn, old-fashioned window can make the space more comfortable to use. (Obviously, we're not talking about historic properties or neighborhoods where such structural or cosmetic changes are strictly regulated.) The main structural consideration with any door or window is supporting the weight of the structure above. The horizontal boards that carry the weight and translate it to side supports are called the "header." Most carpenters make the header out ot double 2-by-10s or 2-by-12s, with a sheet of Winch plywood in between. The plywood is strong in a vertical direction and makes the header the same width as a 2-by-4-inch wall.

If you need a smaller opening for the new door or window, you can simply use some combination of framing wood and plywood to fill in to the appropriate size. It's a little more complicated when you need to enlarge the opening. In most cases, that also means enlarging the header because the span is wider, the weight to be supported will be greater. (If you don't feel comfortable playing with the header, you can hire a structural engineer to figure the load and a' contractor to do the carpentry.) You'll need to build a temporary' wall inside the house, about 12 inches or so from the door opening, to support the ceiling or roof weight while you are working on the header. Twelve inches should allow you to work from both interior and exterior sides, which makes things develop an i dean house- I By Karol V.

Menzie and Randy Johnson The Baltimore Sun Thinking about renovating a kitchen or bath? Turning a spare bedroom into a family room with an outdoor deck? You've probably spent some time standing in the doorway surveying the space, checking out the placement of doors and windows, studying options. If we put the stove over there, we could move the fridge over beside the door? Is there room for a dishwasher? If we put the new bathtub right where the old one was is there room for a whirlpool? If you're looking at the space as static, however, take another look: It's not as hard as you might think to alter the size and position of wall openings. Sometimes a small change, such as replacing a window with a door, can make a big difference in how well the space works in its new incarnation. An example famous in our expe- Designers Fountain Inc.
