Until Scott starts getting into all the all the stuff we couldn’t have foreseen. I’m guessing we’ll finish for good this weekend. In my dream life I will own a piece of furniture that was not assembled in my home.Īnyway, that’s the update. We got some furniture anchors that screw into the back of shelves, which works great if they aren’t made of particle board. Still to be done are the the gate on top of the stairs and anchoring the bookshelves and Scott’s dresser to the wall. Store the magnet where you can get to it but the kid can’t and it’s easy in, easy “keep out”. This is an ingenious little contraption that is screwed on to the inside of the cabinet and opens when you attach a magnet to the outside. Upstairs is still no mans land however, the house elf has devised a plan to make the gate work with the banister.Īnd finally, we installed locks on the kitchen and bathroom cabinets where we keep the cleaning supplies. One shim and many words that cannot be repeated once Scott starts talking later and we have a gate installed on the bottom of the stairs. We bought and returned two styles (the first was nice but just wouldn’t fit and the second kind of worked but was a death trap) and then Woot-ed a third that were motivated to make work. However, the inside stairs were seemingly designed precisely to not fit with any commercial baby gate. Oh so easy (says the person who did not actually do any baby gate installing). Gate #1 to the basement stairs went in easy. Of course there was the obvious – covering the electrical outlets.Īnd installing baby gates for the stairs. July’s mission was to baby proof the apartment, and, while we’ve done some things, some proved more difficult than we’d thought.
