The door frame will wick water, the same way a tree does, and eventually rot if the frame is not made of a rot-free material. There are lots of options available. One is FrameSaver by Endura which uses a composite material on the bottom few inches instead of wood. This way it does not wick up water.

Better Door Installer: Great point! You would be correct, if one were to use material not impervious to water. I'm sure you are well aware of the various products (cellular vinyl and extruded PVC) out on the market that look just like wood trim, but won't rot. Many of these products are also paintable to match their surroundings. Here is a great article on these materials at http://www.gpsinformation.org/homerepair/woodtrim... .

your video shows the door that your "fine craftsman" repaired, which the door frame is touching concrete. this frame will rot from the bottom up as it draws moisture from the concrete

As usual, great job on your video blog. I have just this problem on/around my front door. Can't afford to have it fixed yet, but would like to know how much I have to budget to get it fixed in the near future.

Thanks! Jill
