| Jul 22, 2023 at 16:37 | comment | added | Timecook | Thanks for the replies… absolutely this should’ve been taken care of before the carpet was ordered I admit, thus my rushing through here. However, the carpet installers are piece-mealing the house as material becomes available and to work around their schedule, so I was hoping they’d be able to just leave that section unfinished until drywall can be adjusted. Is that even possible with carpet install or does the whole room need to be done at one time? | |

Even if you manage to take it down, you'll then have two unequal box sections abruptly end - so box section & wall will need refinishing to bring them up level. Where is the carpet fitter going to line up to? The wall or where the box ought to be? | |

| Jul 22, 2023 at 16:00 | comment | added | crip659 | Do you really need the extra space? I know some people do not like the look of wood, but that closet looks quite nice on the outside. You probably want the wood from it to finish the walls. You can remove it, but a professional can save the wood for the walls. | |
