I finally got a contractor to come out and take a look at the entryway to my house. The wood around the doorway is rotting out, and it looks like the entire thing - door and all - will need to be replaced. The door has issues with sealing anyway, so a full replacement probably isn't a bad idea. Still, I wasn't really mentally prepared for a $2k estimate :(

I'm getting another estimate sometime in the next few days, so we'll see what that looks like. I've also called my builder - even though we are out of warranty, I think the problem is their fault - the way water drains off the roof, this was bound to happen. That probably won't go anywhere, but it can't hurt to ask.

In the meantime, I'm waiting for a tech from Comcast so that I can see if my cable modem is the issue. I'm getting connection drops of a few seconds to a few minutes duration about once an hour, and it's really getting irritating.
