Granny Alert Doorbell System

076/365

I recently went to visit my grama, she don't get around as much as she use to and it took awhile for her to get to the front door. By the time she made it there I had already went to the back door (bc i was born with tiger blood) and knocked. She walked towards the back and I went around front. It was a real Abbot and Costello bit for a few minutes before I was finally able to catch her at a door.

This gave me the idea for a notification system that informs the doorbell ringer that the person in the house recognizes someone is at the door and they should wait there until they make it there. This would end a lot of confusion and needless walking (even though walking is for winners).

TWQ: Doggy Door Perplextion

This Week's Quandary: "I need an invention that closes my bedroom door after my dogs push it open so I don't have to do it myself every 5 minutes."

1. Camilla says, "..the easy solution is to install a dog door, but who wants to cut holes in walls?"
2. Raquel A. says, "Train your dog to be more polite and close the door behind himself."

Thanks to Camilla and Raquel for their suggestions to This Week's Quandary! If you have an idea of your own submit it on our Facebook or Twitter page and we'll post it here!

Door Handle Design to Increase Chivalry

When you exit most public establishments the handle on the door is not designed to allow a person to hold the door for another guest. This is my redesign of that part. It would be a direct replacement.
