Default Walkout Basement Doors

My thoughts are to cut off the bottom several inches of the 2x10's and
fill that with something like polyurethane caulk. Then install a new
threshold on the basement-side of the floor crack, and then a new door
frame.


This is a distraction from politics.

Are you cutting out a rotted section? Car you get the buried portion
out? If not structural pretty much anything will fill it but I'd use
some Quickcrete sand mix if possible I'd use some caulk to make sure it
is sealed if there is a seam.

Are you filling that gap under the threshold too? Moving the threshold
sounds like a smart thing to do
