Speaking of two stories, we've been house hunting for a bigger home, justlooking, nothing serious, and the question of having a two story over one level has come up on numerous occasions.....when the realtor even begins to mention two story, my radar goes up......the houses here in TX, although the stairs aren't the thing that bothers me, sometimes have these balconies once you reach the top of the stairs!!! Even though 's little, who's to say he couldn't get up during the night and push a chair, climb on it and JUMP down!!! DH says oh, he wouldn't do that.....oh no??? You always have to think ahead with our kids, they are always up to something. Putting a gate up at the top of the stairs is one thing, but you can't close off a balcony that gives you a bird's eye view of the main level! I almost got dizzy at that height just trying to imagine falling over! Ranch home for us only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went and took along. We walk into the condo and the bedroom are upstairs and you have to pass the loft part to get to them. I don't think I slept all night even with the motion detector on.
