Clara Helps Hang Gate

Tonight I hung the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs between the second and third floors (farewell dreaded pressure-mounted gate). I was able to install the gate without having to resort to family's or friend's skills. I am becoming such the handyman that I hear Kristin is going to buy me a tool belt for Christmas.

Let me clarify one point: I did have a little help from the family, Clara. Kristin was on hand to play photo journalist and document Clara's assistance.

Okay, I'm here. We can begin.

Bring it back a little this way.

Here, let me see the manual.

I certify this screw lead free!

Now Clara has full range of the middle floor without the pain of the pressure mounted gate (may it die a painful death). Kristin says the second floor looks like a jail. Jail, giant play pen. Same thing, right?
