Seshi Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Serious question. To some of us it might seem quite straight forward and will be confounded by the preferences of others, so I thought I'd ask here: What door do you prefer using to go into your house? And is that the same door you use for guests? Please enlighten us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineTear Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Side supremacists rise up~ The side door is closer to both of the garages as well as where the guest parking is, so it is always the go to~ The front door exists mostly for the purpose of going onto the porch to enjoy coffee on nice mornings~ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusion of Terra Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) why do you guys have so many doors Let me say that these are some first world issues I wish I had Jokes aside, I don't understand what exactly a 'side door' is? I get the idea of a front door i.e. the main entrance to the house. Back door if you have a garden in the back of the house also seems to make sense. Garage door seems a bit overly excessive to me, but what the heck if you don't want to walk a few steps from the garage to the main entrance go for it Where does a side door fit into all of this? I don't suppose it is a door that is actually at the side of the house, is it? Like if we take the Simpsons' house, where would the side door be?

I'd call the side the 'main entrance' is on the front of the house. So I guess I'd call the door to your kitchen the back door and the other the front door (unless they are on the same side). This is getting complicated Edited November 9, 2019 by Illusion of Terra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshi Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 I dont have a garage, but If I did, that would be my entrance, and I would expect guests to use the front door, which has a porch and a path from the driveway where guests can park (and where I park). My house has a front, back and side door. That is not very uncommon here. Though since my neighbor uses her back door exclusively (due to parking in the back) and my other neighbor using their side door exclusively, I wondered if the front door was something anyone would think to walk up and use? It seems to be common sense for me to walk up to someones front door say if I was delivering pizza or girl scouting. Haha. But alas, everyone has their preferences and reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efaardvark Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Re: FirstWorldProblems... We have TWO back doors! At some point somebody added a room in the middle of the back of the house, and a door was added on both sides of the addition to access the back yard. As for the door I use... now i don't know how to answer this. We have a loooong driveway along one entire side of the house. There's a door in back that I usually use because it's up near the garage where I usually park the car. But the door is actually in the side of the house, facing the driveway. Would that make it a back door or a side door? And yes, I just posted to confuse the issue. Edited November 10, 2019 by efaardvark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 how many doors do you people have ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beocat Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Front door. It's convenient. The backdoor is to our fenced in backyard. You'd have to go through one of the three gates to get in. Then the garage can only be accessed by our remotes (which we only use if retrieving something from the garage, as we use our double garage for storage, not parking) or by a door in our fenced in backyard. Front door is more convenient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
