hi all. building a 14x28' deer camp cabin. i'm very close to putting up wall panelling. going to use 4" grooved t1-11. now, do i put this stuff up before or after i install my prehung interior doors? looked at prehung interior doors at the depot last weekend and i don't know how to instal them. they looked like they already had some kind of trim installed on them. so i guess i have 2 questions. 1) which comes first. 2) howto install...

Ordinarily, you put the walls up first. That is, the sheetrock or paneling.
The pre-hung interior doors come apart, the jamb separates, to be applied from both sides of the wall.
Hope this helps.

so the jamb is the part that looks like trim? from what i could tell it was put on there with some pretty sturdy staples. do you take this "trim" off of both the front and the back, and then put up your door, and then put the "trim" back onto the door/wall at the same time?
