I don’t have anything useful to contribute, but I will follow along with
interest because I am contemplating the same thing.  We replaced our grungy ugly
front door and storm door with a new door, and  decided that we didn’t need a
storm door since our door is also under a roof, and the new door is well
insulated and sealed.

But we have since decided that it would be nice to have a screen door to let in
light and air on nice days.  I have lots of ash available from trees we have
cut, so if it is not an unreasonable idea I would go with that.
