I got most of the doors replaced except the one that is still on order. The small wall that has the hinge-side of the doors on my kids' rooms is pretty out-of-plumb. I'm not going to tear the drywall apart to fix it, but I want to hang the doors plumb so they don't swing on their own. I installed them to be more plumb than the wall, but they are not completely plumb. One of the doors has started swinging on its own, so I think I need to straighten them a bit more.
I have not installed trim anywhere yet. I'm trying to figure out how to make the trim look right on these two where the door frame sticks out from the drywall on one end, and beneath the level of the drywall on the other. On the parts where the door frame sticks out, it seems easy enough to just plane/sand it down to make it flush with the wall. Simple enough. But what do I do where the door frame doesn't quite stick out far enough? I could make a piece to build it up, but I think it would have to be one giant wedge, which would be difficult. Do I cut out some of the door frame, attach a piece, then plane/sand it down flush with the wall?
I did some digging around online. One guy cut into the drywall under the trim, but that doesn't seem like the best way to do it.
Any other suggestions?
