Building a nice door from scratch might be craftsman labour but installing one certainly isn't.
Have someone run a hose against the door while you look on the inside where the water is coming in. Most times it's just a matter of replacing worn weather stripping or sometimes a sweep or threshold. Also check that the caulk on the trim/brick molding on the outside is still in good shape.
MusicLover, this leak is a hard one. You can spray water on the door all day and there's no leak. But if the rain and wind is blowing on the door, it will leak. The door itself doesn't leak, but water is somehow getting to the bottom left corner of the door and is getting inside the house there, and has rotted the flooring. A million different places it could be getting in. I need to find that million and first spot to caulk or tape up and I'll have it fixed! Just a matter of time. Don't want to get off the inflation topic, so will stop here.
