Temporarily attach Sloped Glazing Support across front of studs.
This will keep wall level once it has been cut. You will remove in
Step 11.
3 ways to mark the door opening prior to cutting:
1. Transfer the marks made on the "B" Top Wall Plate.
2. Make marks to the inside of the doorway studs.
3. Measure opening according to doorway width (41")
Make sure "B" Base Strut is attached to the "B" Top Wall Plate outside
the area to be cut out. Cut "B" Base Strut with circular saw or sawzall.
Then cut "B" Top Wall Plate with sawzall or handsaw. Sace cutouts for later use.
Use the cut out of either the "B" Top Wall Plate or
"B" Base Strut. Use a level to mark back edge of
each of the upper pentagon struts.
