Replacing some rotten door frame - any alternatives to wood?

For the second or perhaps third time in ten years, I find myself about to cut out the bottom foot or so of rotten door frame timber (about 43 x 70mm in section) which stands in contact with an outdoor concreted area. A dire concreting job, done long before I lived here, has left rain water creeping ...

Thanks for the very interesting replies. I would certainly try this test if I still could do, but since posting this question some time ago, the cooker has gone back to the manufacturer due to the low temperature oven fault which a repair visit failed to fix. So I am currently without a cooker, but ...

Moving a socket in the kitchen.

I want to move the head-height surface trunking (16 x 25mm) which takes the ring to my kitchen’s only double socket. Its height could cause a problem when I install a gas cooker, so I want instead to run the trunking just above the skirting boards and then straight up to the double socket. I may a...

The total power is 12.9kW, the oven alone is 2.5kW The Corgi engineer reused an old hose he had (yes I know, he shouldn't have).

Dear DIY Dr, Thanks for the advice so far. I have another question... Because of the non-availablilty of 9ft gravel boards, I'm going to have to get some timber cut to order. If I treat it with the preserver you mention (or Cuprinol's Green Wood Preserver?) can I expect a reasonable life expectancy ...

Adding gravel boards to featheredge/arris rail fencing.

I’d like some advice on adding gravel boards whilst repairing an arris rail fence. The existing fence panels (6ft tall x 9ft wide) cover a fair length of uneven ground. Perhaps because of the slope, the arris rails have not been joined to the side of the posts to make a conventional right angle. I...
