Basement wall addition will interfere with doorway

7 months ago



Planning on finishing this room in the basement but running into a problem with the location of the Ufer ground wire. It cannot be moved, which means we have to work around it. The dilemma is if the drywall is extended from the concrete wall to the area surrounding the door frame, enclosing the Ufer ground wire, the drywall will interfere with the door frame, which is 38" wide. The concrete wall extends 11" past the existing drywall. Other than narrowing the door frame to accommodate new drywall that encloses the Ufer ground wire, does anyone have any other suggestions? I'd like to keep that doorway if possible rather than drywalling over it. There is another door into the room, however, if that's my only option. Thanks!
