Ok i made my room door wider

[teslaman]

I decided after trying to make a round water bucket oval, squeezing it through a narrow doorway that it was probably a good idea to make my attic room door wider, can anyone spot the 'deliberate mistake', pmsl.

Will the door open all the way with that diagonal support beam there?

Yeah I'd just make the door bigger bro.

That rafter beam seems out of place, does it actually do any support of the roof?

I've often wondered that but did cut through one in same house nearby and the ceiling underneath dropped slightly lol, so not doing it in my home.

OK Dont cut it, most likely a secondary ceiling support , looks like a A frame.
You could always cut the angle off door needed to clear and use hinges to reattach the corner so it folds up and down before opening or closing. Black gorilla tape to seal the light gap where you cut should stay in place for many fold opens.

just cut the door 1/4" away from the rafter and screw the loose piece to the back of the rafter.

Take the door back to Home depot and get an open in door instead of open out

I made the door, alas slightly wrong, i'll just take my saw and remove the offending corner, cannot have an inwards swinging door as i want the full uninterrupted space inside room.
