Ok, so here is what I have to work with. I have a closet that is 8' tall, 2' deep, and 5'3" wide. It has a bifold door in the middle that is 3' wide. Since the Bifold door is in the middle, it leaves a 1'1.5" overlap of wall on either side of the door. (See the pics if my explanation doesn't make too much sense). I'm a small grower, personal user, so I don't need the entire closet space to grow in. I toyed with the idea of taking the bifold door and replacing it with a bookshelf, making it look like there wasn't a closet there at all and growing in it. I also considered sealing up the closet entirely, having a hidden entrance and growing in it, but both options would make it look like I didn't have a closet, which is kinda suspicious.
So, instead I would like to seal up half of the closet, and keep the rest of it as an actual closet. I figured it would be easy to seal up one of these overlaps and have a grow that is 1'1.5"x2', but that seems kinda like a waste to me. So instead, I would like to be able to move the frame of the door either to the right or to the left 1'1.5", so that I knock out one of these overlaps and place the door flush with it. Then take the other overlap and double it in size, then seal it off and grow in it. If my explanation doesn't make much sense, feel free to look at my awesome graphic design skills
.
More or less, I know that I would need to take the molding out, slip a jigsaw blade inbetween the wood, and cut the frame out. Then knock out the wall on the one side, and place it next to the other wall, then put the frame back in place where I want it to be, put the molding back on and we are good to go.
I just wanted to get the go ahead from some of you guys before I partook in the demolition of my house
. If anyone had any thoughts, advice, or comments to give me I would appreciate it. I'm not really on too much of a time frame, although I would like to get it done in 2-3 weeks. Thanks guys.
PS. I attempted to draw a before and after picture in paint, but ROI won't let me upload it, too big. So I just took a picture of my drawing. Sorry if it's low quality.
