I wonder if you can give them some criteria and be like "call me if X shows up".<br /><br />Also, I think I like 1.5. I could totally put it back on for the few months we need it. And if not, keep it in the coal cellar just in case, which turns this into solution 1. <br /><br />I think we are also going to ditch the storm windows on the front porch as well. The windows are not super pretty, but they look really junky with the storm windows anyway.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925334545991188404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338946440894587939.post-9920585175144983902011-10-16T21:16:57.265-04:002011-10-16T21:16:57.265-04:00Check Construction Junction?

Someone obviously cut a dog door in it at some point and someone (else?) put a cheaper panel back to fill that in, so we may have to do a custom door at some point (to save the original 100+ yr old glass).Laura Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933143755015828109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338946440894587939.post-28965797728053076362011-10-16T20:56:28.804-04:002011-10-16T20:56:28.804-04:00This is quite the conundrum!!

The house I grew up in doesn't have one, and doesn't even have a deep porch to protect it, and it's never been a problem. (My current house doesn't have one, either.)<br /><br />1.5 - Ditch the storm door in the winter, when you don't need the screen door for cross-draft through the house (a bit laborious, but a compromise?)<br /><br />2 - Get a lovely vintage wood storm door, or have the company that made the front door make one for you.<br /><br />3 - At the very least, replace the white monstrosity with an equally ugly and cheap one in black or dark brown. It will still obscure the lovely wooden door behind, but at least it won't scream at you from the street.<br /><br />I hope that helps!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283783938773107355noreply@blogger.com
