It's MDO for pilasters and panels on the house. They have 2 good sides so that any water vapor that gets on the back side can easily roll off. We use either Home slicker or fir strips so it has an air space on the back side.

Poser; replace threshold and reconstruct bottom or whole new frame?
Job a neighbour wants me to do. Not exactly sure how this threshold is mounted to the building; it's an 1890 Victorian in Toronto. Any opinions about whether to reconstruct and do threshold, or whether entire door frame ought to be rebuilt, very much appreciated.
Money is an issue here; he's first time homeowner. And I don't have a mountain of spare time.
I've sawed back to good wood and the rot in the vertical part was only up a couple of inches. Stud inside looks solid.
I'm thinking of cutting it back a foot, then reconstructing on top of the new threshold, once it's installed.
What's best wood and sealant and finish for the threshold itself?
The existing wood's rotted in places and this job has to last a few years.
Any and all opinions very much appreciated.
Steve
