As it should be...
Parents have two doors to their patio with the build in blinds, they still function properly and well after years and years of grandkids playing with them. I like them, and my fear was that the internal blinds would get jacked and then your done mode...but theirs have lasted.

Get a good, prehung door, don't do a storm door. They actually don't prolong the life of your door. A good door, one treated correctly for the elements, should last 40 years.

We decided on a roof... fancy metal...for still too much but not the few bros that were 60-70k stupid, just dumb lol... everything is going up in price. Prices for this type of stuff is doubtful to fall in any significance anytime soon, and highly probable to increase lol
Now the wife wants a new front door, paint the garage door and stuff to spruce up the house to match the fancy roof lol... oh lord...then comes "and I guess it is finally time to do the big kitchen reno!" ahh oh lawdy.
Had her ask the Lowes guy a general cost of installing a door just so she knows "700$ plus 200$ permit" lol gtfo

Just a word of warning, under no circumstances farm any job out through Lowes. We had the gutters redone on our old house with them. The company they subbed out to was the most incompetent group of dipshits I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. We went to Lowes when they missed their first appointment and then again later to get all their fuckups rectified and they passed all the legwork back on to us every time. Here's their number, call them. Motherfuckers, we paid you, not Fuckup Inc, I didn't need some worthless middle man to skim money off the top. Pulling a permit on replacing a door sounds like something they'd do (or at least charge for it and never actually do it).

Home depot wasn't much better. We had them do our cabinets in this house. First thing they require is you pay them to come do measurements. In my case it was existing cabinets. They would not accept my measurements.
Final install I can see bare floor cuz they fucked up the measurements, this was during COVID so long wait for install, long wait for incorrect install, long wait for corrections.
Then they had the gall to complain because I would not give them a 'nailed it 5 star' rating.

Think I may have posted it in this thread, but 2.5 years ago I had Home Depot put in a blackout blind. They fucked the measurements up twice. The first time they double charged me before refunding the first one. I told them we needed to do that the other way around for try 3, because I didn't want to be that low on funds in my checking account. They told me to fuck off. I tried reversing the charge through my bank, and got told to eat shit. Finally lodged a complaint through the BBB, and they did a full refund.
Same thing, though. They farmed that shit out through useless bags of shit contractors. I did finally get it taken care of by a professional company in town this year. It did cost more, but it was done right.
