The door frame on an outhouse door has rotted through and i'm wondering how to go about replacing it. The hinge is painted solid and i don't see how it can be taken off without breaking the wood around it, and cannot see how to replace the rotten wood in such a tight spot while the door remains attached. Can someone see how to fix the problem?

Any closer pictures?

The length of rotten wood is about a metre high and very close to the downpipe where i assume rainwater has worn away the wood to the point where it will rot away entirely, leaving the door hanging on one hinge if something isn't done about it soon.
I can take some if you think it will help.
Take pictures further back. Also take pictures of the hinge and screws.

Sorry, i thought close up photos would help. The screws are covered in paint and dirt so it's hard to tell what they are.
Is this any better?

You will need to change door and frame so just rip it off.
