@your_favorite_contractor: Here's a great pro tip on how to cut out your bottom plates before installing a door. Basically you could do it one of two ways. The first way is pre-cut the bottom plate and then you could cut it from the top. Or you could do it this way and leave out the jacks and then just use your circular. Saw to cut it and then install your Jack afterward which is what I'm doing here. What do you guys think of this trick? #HomeImprovement #construction #DIY
End result is the same. You just added another step.

An old school trick for this is we would score the bottom of the plate were it needs to be cut. Frame the wall . Only have to cut through the plate a half inch.

The actual “Pro” tip is cut up to halfway through the bottom of the plate at the opening before it’s installed.

Run your king and jack stud all the way up if no header, then build door down. Much stronger door frame.
