I know that feeling. Should be getting to grips with some water damage and then re-decorating, but time is too short and enthusiasm for the project is little to nil...
However, we replaced some wooden patio doors with plastic a coupl of ears ago and very glad we did too. The wood would shrink in summer and then absorb water in the autumn, which did terrible things to the brickwork around them (although it's not the best brickwork). Wood is great until it gets wet, then it's a nightmare to deal with.
