A house we looked at last week. They talked about how hard it was to keep the house heated when it got cold outside. I’m no energy expert, but I really don’t think a screen door has much of an R-value 😉
Picture “A”: That is the boiler in the lower left corner of the picture, with the exterior door straight ahead. The wooden door on the right edge of the pic gets leaned into the doorframe between the two rooms.
Picture “B”: closeup of exterior door. This room also has the water heater and w/d hookups.
Picture “C”: another source of why its hard to heat. no glass in that window, and that is a radiator pipe running across in front of it.
