I appreciate your reply Eric. Installing internal cavity siding doors can seem overwhelming at a glance but if you take one step at a time, all things being equal anyone should be able to do it .

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Therealkieran. It's amazing to have you join us, and many thanks for jumping into the discussion.

I'd agree and loved seeing some of the issues an everyday person would encounter. Too often, I've seen guides where everything is straightforward, and nothing ever comes up as a roadblock.

We're keen to hear all about your projects and plans around the house and garden. Please reach out whenever you need assistance or have something to share.

Great tutorial @moussaqhiands. The tip about cutting the plaster at a shallow angle showed its merits when you discovered the underlying power cables.

Many thanks for sharing.
