Comments (8)Finding the slats will be as difficult as finding a matching door.Finding new slats and matching the stain is easier---but no piece of cake. The door can be glued back together---as long as it is properly clamped and reinforced on the inside----probably not a DIY job unless you have several different pipe clamps. The finish looks like stain/varnish---a popular combination used by builders. I replicate that kind of color---the tone comes from time and aging and will not be the same if the original materials were used----by using different shellacs over the stain to create the amber tone----then the varnish deepens the color a shade or two. It takes some experimentation----but that is one way the pros do it....See MoreFixing a sliding mirror door (frame separated from glass)

Comments (7)I'ld replace that entire board ... looks to be a 1"x6" with a rounded over edge. Get it in a pre-treated pine variety of the appropriate length and paint it white to match, and fasten it securely to the wall. That looks like moisture damage, most likely from either warm air coming in through the cracks and leaving condensed water on your wood, or cold air coming in through the cracks and condensing the moisture in the house where it ends up on the wood. Either way it's bad for your wood. After you have replaced the board properly, you will definitely want to look in to replacing the weatherstripping and seals around that area to solve the actual cause of this problem, or you will end up replacing the board again in the future. Pre-treated lumber will stand up to that kind of abuse for longer than untreated wood, but in the end, the water will win....See MoreFixed a broken slate step
Comments (3)Yes, it will break again, as will the others. You cant stand on an overhang and expect it not to break. There is no support under any of the ends. Your porch itself needs some work too. I see brick that is falling away in a couple of places....See MoreHU-744656829
