Rotted Door Frame
What's the best way to repair a rotted door frame? I have a sliding patio door that has a wooden frame that is partially rotted on the exterior. I've removed the rotted wood and I'm left with about a 2.5"w x 5"h x 1.25"thick area where the wood used to be. I'm thinking about using a piece of treated wood approximately the same size as what's missing then filling in the rest with exterior wood filler. What are your thoughts?
