This house has an odd bathroom. There's a floor level window in the shower.

I have(lightweight) door chains on the porch (large old windows without safety latches) off one bedroom, the door to the attic stairs, and the door to the basement stairs- and one bedroom because the door won't shut tight. I have small kids in the house and it's the easiest way to keep them out of places that aren't safe for them. Once you've had a patient or DOA call for a child that's fallen down steep stairs or out a window you often get a little.....cautious.
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world. ~ Jack Layton.

I babysat a family with children who had been adopted after being abused and starved. The children would eat the entire contents of the pantry and refrigerator including the box of baking soda in the frig.


So they had locks on the frig and pantry. The problem was they assumed that I knew how to open the locks, because I was friends with an older daughter. I couldn't make us dinner - so I ended up calling my parents to bring over some food. (I was 11 or 12 so didn't have other options)

My husband's family rented a home with a grow room.  After they moved in, my husband's mom sent him up to check out the attic.  He opened the attic space and behind it was another door, with a padlock on it!  Once they got that door opened, they found the hoses and light fixtures from a pot growing operation.
