Some months ago I posted this pic of my side door, the
bottom of which had been ruined by watering nearby
shrubs. I tore away loose stuff, looking for ways to
repair rather than replace.

Among the NG replies was one which said it would cost me
more to fix it than replace it. I always believe the
last person that tells me anything g so I inquired
about replacement. The bid I got from a door guy was
about $340?

On second thoughts, I don't see why I should spend $$$ I
can ill afford, doing away with a perfectly sound door.

I am thinking about glueing (sp?), screwing, nailing,
attaching somehow, a piece of metal (or lumber coved at
the top) that would bridge the eroded portionm and
possibly filling in underneath with Bondo, or?

Sound feasible?

Sounds feasble.

I used stainless steel sheet as the fill-in for mine and it's lasting like
what seems like forever. Use 2 sheets & put a few vertical bends in it for
added strength. The trick is mounting it reliably: I used a couple pieces of
pt lumber on the door to mount it. Still serving fine.
