The new stoop review

The Dancy house received a new door stoop, door jamb, and exterior casing due to the water splashing up from the brick porch. 

The sill under the stoop was carved out with a couple of saw cuts and a chisel. I used pressure treated deck board as an affordable alternative to overpriced 5/4 yellow pine. I will have to let it dry out a little prior to painting.

This ended up being the worst case scenario with the sill being completely rotted and some of the stoop having to be removed to get to it.
