Dear Mette,

Thanks for your detailed description of your home.

I can certainly understand the problem faced by you in determing which is your front door. Worse still when it is determine, it really sounds and feel not right.

In your case, we should try to apply another concept based on the facing direction of the front house.

Let not determing the `front' or main entrance deter you.

In your case, lets `forget' the actual main door or back door for the moment.

Where is the frontage of your house?

Here, you should consider the location where light goes into the house. It can be a window.

For your special case, is there a window as I mentioned above where light flows thru or looks like the frontage of the house? If there is a door at this location, then it should be your main entrance door. If not, you can take the subsitute window as the main entrance door.

Perhaps, you can feedback on the above and whether it can apply to your situation before, we go further to determine the `frontage' of the house rather than the main entrance door.

Under this concept, the `frontage' " replaces " the main entrance door.

One method of using this concept is to place the house number above the window.

For those who have changed or use alternative doors, it would be best to place the house number on this door or above this door. To symbollically make this the `front door'. (You can still leave the house number on the other door).

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
