"But we're not done yet!" as the commercial says. :shock:

I was not happy with how this one worked. Now we are looking at a swinging type baby gate. It will require mounting to the wall, but will also help protect grandkids from falling down the steps when they visit.

I thought I was getting the last word, but the issue is still in doubt. :shock:

More tomorrow, maybe.

Re: "Trouble" comes to the Panhandle - Game OVER

Final Victory is MINE!

:idea: Today I implemented a better technology. :idea:

The mounted and installed baby gate initially worked, but because I had to install a hanging masonite flap underneath it (the gate mounting hardware had to be high enough to clear the baseboards), she could still get past it. Friday I picked up some clear lexan sheet, drilled holes in it, and used zip-ties to mount it over the gate. :idea:

Look at the photos. Maggie came over, checked out the gate, and realized it's "game over". :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lot of work and cost when a wok would have been cheaper and more satisfying,

Okay, next question...how do you get down the stairs?

As Churchill once said, "This isn't the end, this isn't even the beginning of the end, but it just might be the end of the beginning."

This is so not over...

The gate is hinged and has a latch. Works great.

And yes. It is over.

And without a messy kitchen or wok to clean up. :lol: :wink:
