Mobile Home Remodel - Faming a 1x3 Wall for a 2x4 Door

Sometimes, we make it up as we go. When we removed the door to the bedroom, we knew we wanted a standard door replacement and not a mobile home door. The interior walls in this 2001 Fleetwood mobile home were built with 1x3. That means the wall is only two and a half inches wide, and the door we want to install is three and a half inches wide. While I suspected I could adjust the door framing to accommodate the thicker frame, I had no idea how that could be accomplished. In this video, we make building that frame look easy, correct the previously unsquared opening, and provide a secure frameset that will not shake, rattle, or wiggle whenever the door is closed.
