I hate when people knock on the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1076099 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 10:13:11 +0000 lemondrop 1076099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doorbell, and I hate it- if it broke I wouldn't fix it. Plus we have a dog, he's doorbell enough for us ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1076090 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 10:07:16 +0000 BadgerMom 1076090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We removed our doorbell when we painted last summer and never put it back up. We do have a cute door knocker from Anthropologie that I love, so we don't miss the bell at. all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1076086 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 10:04:56 +0000 keiki_mama 1076086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I selected intercom but we haven't gotten it hooked up to our phone yet. Did I mention we've lived here for a year? Yep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1076078 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 10:01:18 +0000 ShootingStar 1076078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a doorbell and I wish it was broken. The dog goes nuts when it goes off. I'm having DH disconnect it close to when DS is supposed to arrive. And if we order food I'm gonna make him intercept the delivery people, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1076056 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 09:55:00 +0000 mrs. bird 1076056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have an intercom to the front of the building, then we usually open our door or they could knock on our door itself. i put in a wireless doorbell at my old place &amp; it went off every time the guy next door opened or closed his garage door and he worked crazy hours so it would go off in the middle of the night all the time. i disconnected the stupid thing. i hate doorbells. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1076002 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 09:36:38 +0000 nana87 1076002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we live in an apt, so there's an intercom to get in 2 doors downstairs, and the guest has to buzz in individually for both of them. and then there's a doorbell on our actual door when the guest gets up here. the dogs always FREAK out for all 3 bells so we try to intercept at our front door so it's at least only 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075933 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 09:16:14 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1075933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: ooh thats a great idea. We don't live in a gated community and constantly we have people dropping by to solicit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075923 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 09:14:10 +0000 edelweiss 1075923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we live in an apartment, no doorbell. we would need a land telephone line for the intercom to work, which we don't have, so people call us when they arrive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075885 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:55:09 +0000 Boheme 1075885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a sign on our door that says to call us - if someone we actually want to let in is at our house, they have our phone numbers :) The baby got woken up too many times by our doorbell/crazy dog combo. Bonus - salespeople just turn and walk away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075860 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:47:06 +0000 Dandelion 1075860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a doorbell. It's not very loud. Our guests are usually family, and we have two large dogs, so people don't get down the driveway without our dogs barking. So, the doorbell is actually rarely used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075851 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:44:41 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1075851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a doorbell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075849 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:44:03 +0000 MapleMoose 1075849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the doorbell in our new house. It's a nice sounding one, not the standard "ding dong", more like church bells (but it doesn't go on for too long).</p> <p>Side note: my in-laws moved into their house last year and have yet to fix their doorbell...it plays various Christmas songs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075843 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:43:13 +0000 autumnlove 1075843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075820 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:35:14 +0000 MrsF 1075820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a doorbell that serves as a baby-waking bell :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075815 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:34:06 +0000 twodoghouse 1075815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our doorbell doesn't work either! Our dog usually announces the presence of someone at the door. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075811 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:33:15 +0000 pui 1075811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did but is broke. People just have to knock on the door the old fashioned way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075809 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:32:50 +0000 lamariniere 1075809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Intercom since we live in an apartment. One to buzz people in outside, and a second with video monitor on the inside before re-buzzing them. The video camera must be aimed the wrong way since I can never see who is buzzing, although, I can always tell it's the postman's hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075797 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:28:42 +0000 lilyofthewest 1075797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got our house and we don't have anything at present. Folks can either knock directly on the door, or they can call us. </p> <p>I'm kind of on the fence about whether we really need to install a bell. Most of our friends are apartment dwellers who are used to intercom systems that are hooked up to a cell phone and/or buildings with ancient broken bell systems where you have to just ring up to the person you're visiting anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075790 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:25:09 +0000 Smurfette 1075790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a door bell. When we bought the house we had a new front door installed and the installer cut the doorbell wire and we didn't know. I was sweeping and all the sudden looked up and friends were at the door. They had rung the bell and were wondering why I wasn't responding. The installer had to come back out and get us a new door bell. We like it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075788 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:24:11 +0000 Caly 1075788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our doorbell also doesn't work &amp; we haven't bothered fixing it. About a year &amp; a half ago we were having pizza delivered &amp; put out a sticky note that said it was broken &amp; to knock loudly. We laugh b/c that faithful lil sticky has stood the test of time through a hurricane, many storms &amp; rain. Classy. Heh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075785 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:23:20 +0000 Mae 1075785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: We just have a normal front door so it is in the center under the peephole. I'd maybe just put it on one of the doors. I'm not sure why you'd need two. I don't know that I've ever seen french doors for a front door though-- neat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075778 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:21:30 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1075778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: where is the door knocker installed? We have french doors. Would sugget two knockers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075770 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:17:24 +0000 Mae 1075770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a door bell and a door knocker, but everyone uses the bell. I hate it because it makes the dog freak out (even more than a knock at the door) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075763 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:13:06 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1075763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a door bell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075761 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:12:44 +0000 MrsTiz 1075761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a doorbell, but everyone seems to knock on our door instead. It works, so i'm not sure why no one uses it! I'd rather hear "ding dong!" than "BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075760 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:11:45 +0000 Adira 1075760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same as you! A door bell that doesn't work!! I always have to watch for people arriving because they try the doorbell and don't realize it doesn't work and then will just leave, assuming we're not there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-doorbell#post-1075758 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:11:24 +0000 regberadaisy 1075758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Door bell and hate it. </p>
