Sliding door rot

Hi all Bought a house and previous owners sealed shut the sliding door for security reasons. Rot has set in unfortunately. In about 3 years I'm going to replace the whole frame and glass anyway but need to fix the rot until then. As per the images I have removed the rot and will fill up with wood and exterior filler compound. I have some 20 mm thick by 10cmX200cm hardwood planks. The problem is I only have a circular saw and jigsaw to cut the wood. Any tipsideas on how to cut and fill up the spaces would be appreciated? submitted by /u/Legitimate_Ad_3746 [link] [comments]
