My project for the next year is to convert our garage into a utility room / tempoary kitchen.
I need to start with the door, I am ashamed to say I have not touched this door since we moved in 21 years ago. In my defence I had a life changing accident in 2004 and it took me 15 years to get back to the point where I can consider taking on such a project.

As you can see it is rotten from top to bottom it is north facing and does not get any light ever, together with my neighbour we have sorted out the issues over the waterflow from our garage rooves.
You can also see the pipe from the new C/H boiler which was fitted through the frame not ideal but it has to be there.
The opening is 850mm brick to brick the inside edge of the pipe is 40mm from the wall, this leaves 810mm from the pipe to the other wall.
The current door is 1970mm high although I could fit a higher door as I will be making a new structure above it, 50mm to 75mm could easily be added.
I would like a simple outward opening door possibly with half glass, I would have considered a premade UPVC door but it is difficult to get the size at a reasonable price a custom made door is £1500 to £1750 which is out of my budget.
My local timber yard has suggested a door blank which they stock which is a solid door (I think this is what was fitted when we moved in). Which I could fit glass into if required.
Advice as always appreciated.
