hanging an interior door
In that case, you'll need a taller interior tree from which to hang the door, not to mention a high ceiling. ;-)
The finish-carpentry folks at Breaktime (http://forums.finehomebuilding.com/) could likely provide more detailed info. But, it seems to me that the major issues are:
1. making sure the door fits in the available space of the door jam,
2. determing whether a new jam needs to be installed,
3. matching the hinge-mortise placement on the jam to the hinge placement on the door,
4. shimming the door for proper floor clearance while marking the jam, and
5. keeping things plumb during the process.
But, I might be unhinged, so to speak. ;-)
