Need to frame up a water heater closet.

Been doing some looking on the interweb for a ventilated door.

Should I get a 2 0 door and install a return air vent?

Remodeling on a budget.

Open to suggestions.

Yes
But whenever you cut the hole out install blocking in the hollow core and just liquid nail the blocking in

I just saw but if in the framing stages try to frame as big as possible to give you room to work instead of a 24 inch door

Good advice. Homeowner just found a 24" door in one of his packed sheds (3). No frame.

Just more work
