My Front Door is Basically a Screen Door in Winter
Opening Line "Scrolling Pinterest got me thinking about⌠how my front door is less âgrand entranceâ and more âinvitation for Arctic gusts.â"
The Project I love my 1930s bungalow, but its original front door might as well be made of tissue paper. Every winter, I do that awkward shimmy to open it just enough to grab packages without letting all the heat escape. My cat has started giving me judgmental looks.
The Discovery While researching âdoors that donât hate me,â I stumbled on Exact Exteriorsâ guide to energy-efficient doors (Expert Door Installation). Itâs here, and it taught me that steel doors with thermal breaks existâaka âmagic doors that donât turn your foyer into a wind tunnel.â
Ideas
A storm door could be a cute Band-Aid solution (but letâs be real, I need surgery, not a Band-Aid).
That âhistoric charmâ Iâm clinging to? Yeah, itâs costing me $50 extra a month in heating bills.
Closing Thought Iâm not ready to part with my vintage door⌠but I am ready to stop wearing a parka indoors. Compromises.
