Strange Question - Does Your House Have a Back Door?

[Cruisin]

When we are leaving the house or coming home we only use the front door or the door from the garage into the house.
We have a back door that we open maybe once a year and a back patio-french door style that we use to access the backyard.
We are just too lazy to walk all the way around the house to the back to get into the house, that is why we use the front door.

We have three. All sliding glass doors leading to our deck. One door is in the Master bedroom, one in the kitchen, and one in the guest room. We also have a door leading in from the garage to the house, which is the one we use, and a side door from the garage to the "side" yard.

French doors open from the great room to the sunroom, sunroom has a door to the patio and hot tub. I'd be in the hot tub right now if it wasn't so windy (and only 11 degrees!)

I hadn't thought about this until this thread. We have a lot of doors to the outside.

Door #1- a traditional front door
Door #2- on the front of the house to the far left
Door # 3- In the living room that goes out to one of the side porches
Door #4- In the kitchen going out to the other side porch
Door #5- On the side porch leading to the backyard
Door #6- Leads from the larger downstairs bedroom (DH's office) to the side porch

Old houses are fun. We have a house full of 2 pronged plugs that we had to convert. And we can't use the ac in the living room while using the microwave lol

We have two back doors- both off of the kitchen! We have a large kitchen---one door goes out the side to the cellar door, and the other door leads out onto the deck...we would like to knock that wall out and put a slider there, but it's on my wish list for now...

We have 4. The family room and kitchen doors lead to the deck (it has steps), one in the basement (we have a walkout basement) and one in our garage that also goes to the deck. I have 4 dogs, so I need them!!

Yeah of sorts........it's a double sliding glass door, not your normal run of the mill wooden door

Finally, other people who find it bizarre not to have a back door!

We don't have one and it makes us nuts!!
We only have a front door and a door that leads out to the garage. I've never lived in a house without a back door (or more for that matter) before. We are hoping to put in french doors onto a deck this summer.

Yes, I thought all houses had a back door. Figured it was a requirement for safety.

We have a door in our kitchen that leads to the garage, then a "back door" from the garage that leads to the backyard. So, not a "traditional" back door, I guess.
