Clark Creek Blog: Stairs of Death: Revisited

: Name: Scott in Washington; Location: Longview, Washington, United States

I live in a small town in Washington State, USA, with my wife, two sons, two dogs, a cat, and family nearby. I work at the local community college as an I.T. Specialist. In March of '02, we bought a 70-some year old house that needed a lot of work. When I'm not working on the house, I like to throw pots, be outside, and read a lot.

Stairs of Death: Revisited

So one of our many projects around the house is Childproofing. And we have a lot of stairs. We also have the Stairs of Death Dun Dun Duuuuuuun!

They're bad. Not only can the little one get his head through the posts but the stairs themselves are a night mare, if he were to fall down them he could potentially miss all the stairs and just plummet directly to the cement floor below.

Yeah, I'm scared of the Stairs of Death, I fell down them when I was pregnant, our friend fell down them. They are scary.

Scott rigged the stairs with baby gates, firescreens and wire. The Buddy looks on. He is fascinated by this whole procedure and it quickly becomes his favorite toy depository.

Now the Internet knows what happened to my first wife (the one we don't talk about...).

Well, the doctors said I was pregnant once but I don't remember that or anything else about the abduction.

sometimes I wish my blog could have sound effects- one would work well here: maybe a loud crashing noise or scary music like from a Vincent Price movie.

Those stairs look like they'd cause vertigo!
