(It shows the old door and storm both of which were installed left-
hinge.)

It seems really inconvenient to me, and I'm trying to talk him out of
it
(although I expect to lose, as I have lost every damned point on our
current project.)

Does anybody have anything that I could use to persuade him?

Thanks,

Although It is not recommended I can see why your husband wants the
storm door to swing the wrong way. People approach your front door
from the left. If your door was installed properly it would swing into
the face of someone coming up the sidewalk. A door opening the wrong
way would welcome your guests. Opening the other way would be like the
opposite. They would have to walk around the open door. Your husband
is a thoughtful man. He' s thinking of others instead of himself in
this issue. You might want to hang onto this one.
