A lot of your viewers already own a home. It would be great to see renovated versions of how to bring our existing doors up to snuff.

I just love the 50-75 years! Not like most builders thought of just build to get through the warranty!!

Great job Matt, always appreciate your videos

All caught up on air and water sealing at the expense of handicap accessibility in spite of having a covered entrance?

HI Matt: Love the series. How come you chose a traditional key opening lock and not something more modern/wifi assist like Lockly. I typically have my hands full when I try to get into my home and would love to see some tech that could be a push to open type mechanism?

I’m no expert, I don’t think “you’re” ripping that door out in 50-70 years… maybe if you go Ricky Bobby money.
