Unintended consequences

With our Outward Swinging Doors …

… if there’s snow, you have to push the snow out of the way with the doors …

… but you can put a floor mat just inside the door to let the young’un who’s been playing in the back yard divest boots and gloves and jackets and other snowy clothing (since the doors don’t open in over them) …

… and you can put a chair over there by the heater vent by the door to hang jackets and the like from (since the door doesn’t open up in the way).

Advantage: Outward Swinging Doors.
