Before undertaking to remake door opening, it is necessary to weigh attentively everything "pro" and "contra" because the round aperture will make the room much less.
3. For a start it is necessary to insert into aperture the directing framework from aluminum and to fix it by screws and dowels through each 15 cm. The template from Whatman paper has to be full-scale. It is necessary to attach gypsum cardboard to metal section. Fastening should be made by means of screws. Make profile cuts through each five centimeters, and then curve it on arch curve. This design it is necessary to fix between triangles from gypsum cardboard. Cut off excess parts and you will need only to work as abrasive paper.
