It seems that folk love to complain. All too often I read how this or that is not as good as it was when . . . And I admit that I am guilty of doing this as well. Oops!
Well, let's score one point for the optimists. Exterior doors used to be solid wood. Nice to look at when new but they aged, often poorly, and the old doors were not always good at keeping the heat in in the winter.
Today there are dozen of choices when it comes to exterior doors. Fiberglass and metal are very popular and if you insist there are still solid wooden doors to be had. But these wooden doors are actually an improvement over many of the wooden doors from the past.
This home has a new door. Neither the door nor the trim will ever need painting. The glass in the door and the sidelights is a double glazed design with a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired leaded glass look. It wasn't all that expensive and the entire affair was installed in less than a morning. And it was made in Ontario, not all that far from London.
Energy efficient windows and doors are now common. Windows no longer need painting, nor do windows require storms during the winter months as all are either double or triple glazed. Yes, somethings are better today.

My kind of place, beautiful flowers and the structure is well designed as is their choice of door! So many folks are going with more glass these days!
You should see my door.
