NPR: do you have a storm door?

It was an "upgrade" with our builder -- a nominal one (less than $300).  I can't believe how many houses in our neighborhood don't have them.  Literally every house I've ever been to has one, so it's just strange to see homes without.

Does your home have one?  Maybe it's a dying trend and we're out of style with ours?

    We have one. That was an "upgrade" for us too with our builder.

    I think it depends on where you live but in WI everyone has one!  Ours happens to be the oldest and the ugliest on the block.  I hate it with a passion but somehow can't replace it!

    This is the only pic I have of it on this computer but it has the glass "blinds" that you can open and close.  It's truly horrible.

    I don't have one.....yet. When I bought this house, I had a little 'vestibule' so you had to open the screen door then you were in this little enclosed space that was like 5x5 and then there was the front door. I ripped out the vestibule walls and windows and now just have a nice landing/mini porch. I really, really want a storm door, but funds are tight right now and I haven't been able to get one yet.

    Not currently.  At some random points in the past it had them, you can see where different sizes were installed (125year old house).  We need them desperately but have to custom make them due to our narrow victorian doorways.  We're biding time with insulation strips & draft snake things & stuff. 

    About half our neighborhood has them, half doesn't.

    We do not and I would say our neighborhood does not have many storm doors.  It seems people opt for 'fancier' front doors.

    We do not have one and I can only think of one house in my neighborhood that does have one.  I had one growing up and I love not having one and just going through the front door without another door.

    We have one on our front door...but it all glass (top to bottom) so we rarely leave the front door open (it is also all glass...except it has those between the glass blinds).  We do not have one on our back door (which leads into the garage or the one leading from the garage to outside.  We do have one on our doorwall (slider).

    Yes..  I like ours.. it's a metal/security one so I can leave the front door open for fresh air and no one can break in.

    We have one, and most homes in our neighborhood do. I can't imagine not having it, I like to leave the front door open to let more light in.
