Stairs Of Death. Covered.

Currently we are on hiatus from the closet project, while the little one naps. Scott is filling his time by chopping wood for our rather chilly house (no snow yet) and I have been going in and out, up and down, moving things so construction can continue upon the offspring's awakening.

One of the problems with our house is the STAIRS OF DEATH. Yeah. Their spiral, and they aren't bolted to the wall, evenly spaced, or up to code. Meaning our ambitious young crawler can stick his head right through the railings and tumble to his death. We have done a couple of things to remedy that, including attaching our fire screens to the railings to keep him out.

Now we have a new problem. Heat. The cold air from the basement creates cold air currents in our house. So the hot air is hard to find unless you are standing in the woodstove. And that can be uncomfortable, even for bad girls like me.

So this is the solution.


Stairs of death

It isn't pretty, but the multiple blankets seem to be keeping the frigid air in the basement. Of course this means laundry has to be taken out the front door, and in the basement door, which is a bummer. But the house is warmer for now.

I hear the little guy....hiatus over.
