        "text": "Framing a basic interior doorway in an open wall typically takes 2 to 4 hours. However, if the project involves cutting into an existing, finished wall in a home, the full scope usually takes 1 to 2 days. The additional time covers careful demolition, checking for hidden plumbing pipes or electrical wiring, installing temporary shoring if load-bearing, framing the rough opening, and hanging new drywall. Finish steps—such as taping, mudding, hanging the pre-hung door, and installing casing—require additional drying and installation time.",
