    Everyone likes a bodge now and again as a temp fix but that's a bit of a joke

    It's takes half an hour at the most to cut a sill out or in my case I pulled mine off

    Yes mini sills are always done badly apart from the earliest ones (the ones with the floor the wrong way), the sills don't seem to rot....different shape and as far as I know they were filled with stuff and sealed.
