Two of my garage door jambs has some rot. The rot on each jamb is the right side of each garage door. The left side of each garage door is fine. Why did the right sides rot, but not the left?
Below is a picture of one of them. Someone tried to fix it once before, and as you can see in the picture, it has rotted there too.
Would you cut even further up above the rot and piece in new wood, or replace the entire board all together. I'm leaning towards replacing the whole board, but am open for suggestions on the right way to do it.
Also, should I use pressure treated wood, and if so, how long would it need to dry out before I could paint it?
