Even growing up I remember the entry
doors being open for light, air and that general feeling of "openess".

It's great to have the doors open. I leave a door or two open
frequently, but don't have storm / screen doors. To me its like wearing
a condom; completely ruins the experience.

Losing one of my wife's dogs through the open door would ruin any
chance of me ever having an "experience" with her again.

But I know what you mean...the sliding screen on the deck is usually
left open. However, there is a gate to keep the dogs on the deck.

I don't know where you live, but my area is very wooded. Not using
screens at night during the summer would mean bugs of varying shapes
and sizes, some being pretty friggin' scary, would be attracted to the
light inside the house. We'd be overrun.

Don't 'cha just love the smell of a large fried moth on a 300 Watts
Halogen Torchiere?
