How do I widen a door frame a fraction of an inch?
We have 4 doors that need to be replaced. The current doors measure 31 and 7/8s inches and 23 3/4 inches wide. Doors are not currently made this size! The only doors I can find are exactly 32 and 24 inches. How do I widen the frame that little bit with minimal effort and mess? I've been doing a lot of DIY work on the home before we put it up for sale. Im an emotional mess with everything that's going on and I'm exhausted and overwhelmed. The doors are one of the last big things I need to get done and finding out that installing these doors comes with this extra step is sending me. The thought of sawing off that little bit of wood and the mess it's going to make is freaking me out and causing a lot of anxiety.
Edit to add... We do not have money to hire anyone to help. And I need advice that will cost very little, preferably nothing at all. I want nothing more than to have the money to hire someone to do this for me.
2nd edit... THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! We're going to get a hand plane and remove a sliver from the doors. Y'all have no idea the weight y'all took off my shoulders. So grateful for everyone's responses! I love y'all!
