in todays episode of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...

Hey bud!

Strange i never got a notification on this?
I just happened on it by random..
Now im here so.

First pic, Is hard to say.
Could be an attempt at sheer wall but waht what ever it is i wouldn't think twice about cutting (it or anything else) that is in my way out.

Then I would jist frame it back in using the standard door/window framing.
IE. A trimmer and king stud with two 2x4s as a header.
No need to even mess with any dry wall beacuse if you cut it out nice. (Sawsall with fine tooth blade) the new casing (trim) covers the rough cut in the dry wall.


Second pic is just the cheep casing kit from home depo.
They look good in my opinion but should be used in the "right environment and home"

I did one of those for my girls folks. (Man door from dining room to garage) and they fricking LOVE it. You'd think I hand carved it out of thousand year old oak they way the look at it.

As always if you need any tips or anything just let me know. Im glad to help.
