    I trod on the threshold and most of it split away, fairly rotten as was
    the remaining piece. I obtained a suitable ,cross-section wise piece of second-hand hardwood.
    With template etc I should be able to cut to fit. I have some slates and
    also some reconstituted compposite slates and am thinking of placing a
    slice under the hardwood and over the underlying concrete step, as a DPC.
    Good idea or not?, and use cut down slate or the modern "slate" ?
    I'm thinking the modern material would take any local pressure points
    from the concrete and human weight on the timber , better.
