I'd better stop staying out till the wee hours of the morning!!!!

My understanding from talking to Home Depot about replacing my sliding glass door with a set of French doors is that any time you replace or install an exterior door, you need a building permit. Since you will probably hire someone, they will get the permit. Make sure they do. According to the guidelines - page 8 of the Village's telephone book - item 16, you need an architectural review.
