Well I haven’t done much to my house in a while so I decided to finally finish my basement…I went to the store and came home with all the stuff needed to frame in a drywall my basement…and decided i wanted french doors
I have never done anything like this before so it was a little sketchy at times but seems to be coming together…
next step, cut the spray foam and start hanging drywall…last I will still need to frame in a finish the outside of the door
Looking good kevin.
That is looking great. Nice work.
Very nice. Looks like the other person was doing more work than you though. 
Is the exterior a covered porch? When we had our basement french doors installed the exterior was bricked so we had to deal with fixing the soldier course, and the door had to be special ordered because of the depth.
is that an old coal furnace?
He helped a little…
The exterior is a covered porch…these doors aren’t deep enough to go through the cinderblock wall so I am going to frame the outside in myself…
It might be…not sure how to tell if i can use it for coal or not…only been burning wood so far…
French is gay, Everyone hates the french and the non french doors you built.
google me some true french country doors
Good work on the american doors kevin 
Haha thanks
Anyone have any ideas how to close in around the stove??
just remove the stove? :dunno:
It looks like you have a forced air system beside it, so take out the stove and make a wall around the forced air with a closet door on a side that isnt seen much?
The stove is ducted in to the central air…I get alot of free fire wood and do not wish to loose the stove. I am framing in and hanging drywall around the forced air and stove together but would like to make the face of the stove come through the drywall to continue use.
I have been thinking about trying my hand in some brickwork around it but like the look of stone better…just not sure about how to do this and not create a fire hazard
x2
you could have just put a French flag on your old door…
Good job so far
Freedom doors
If there is no return air to the stove, I dont think a room being framed around it is a very good idea.
