Why in the world did they move the front door so far from the drive?

This recalls the summer long ago when the rest of the family left for vacation while Evan and I remained to enjoy our bachlerhood freedoms in the evenings after long days of hot construction work. I believe some steaks were broiled, music was heard at higher volumes, and a messy build up occurred as the week progressed. Being the eldest and always responsible son, Evan saw to it that right before the family returned the house was thoroughly cleaned with the floors waxed and buffed. I wonder if Mom can recall that? The tall trees remind me of Dad's awesome strength in easily felling one of the sick hickory trees in the back yard with his ax.
