New door, mate. Wonky wood is more trouble than it's worth.
Not furry enough. Get a cat instead.Or save time and just get the Missus to lay down at the bottom of the door..just make her the occasional cup of tea
I'd like to see you open the lid...a tin of expanding foam, make good and....
Couldn't you have got one of those big sloping desk thingies instead of using the floor?I'm a draughtsman by trade, had to give it up though, my knees don't like it.

Have to agree with H. Go plastic, I don't class myself as a super d.i.y.er but have bought and fitted two exterior upvc door and frames over the years, it's no problem as long as you measure correctly and ensure you fit it exactly square, they even make frame fixings ( hardened screws) that screw directly into masonry once drilled to size so no need for rawlplugs and also packers of different thicknesses to take up any gaps to ensure exact fitting, then a tin of expanding foam, make good and jobs a good un.
Never get another draught and security is improved as a bonus.
As someone that works for a high end joinery company I couldn't disagree more. Modern timber doors such as ours are machined for multipoint locking systems which are actually much more secure in a timber door than UPVC. When you add the fact that most UPVC doors have panels that can be kicked out you are left with a very poor door from a security perspective.
Would agree with others that the OP needs a new door but a high quality timber door from a 'Secured by Design' certified manufacturer will always be superior.
If you are going plastic you are better off with a composite door. Miles better security, insulation and appearance.
