I was just thinking, in Korea I lived in one place that had internal stairs, (well, a cross between stairs and a ladder.)

How about you? Do you have stairs in your house?

Yeah, I do. And they're a bitc h to get down half a sleep in the middle of the night. My bedroom is in kind of a loft, I guess.

I hate stairs. I'd like to have a rancher if I buy a house. 1 level.

Right. When I lived in Hanoi I was in a three story house, where my bedroom was on the third floor. Problem was the kitchen was on the first floor, down the narrow, circular concrete stair case. Getting cold drinks while I was in my room became a major annoyance.

No stairs here, but we do have a fire escape.

Psyche!

Yes, you like to feel that you're protected, don't you.

Yeah I live in a loft style place with these stairs designed to KILL you. I never sleep up in my loft.

The "officetel" or loft is an adventure. Glad I haven't gone as$ over teakettle yet! Ha!

Maybe 2 feet wide with huge steps narrowing at the top.

After a night of drinking, they seem dangerous as hell!! Then it's the couch.

For a fire escape I always have the "Simplicity descending lifeline" where I can repell down the building out of my window attached to a hook in the wall.

Now there's security.

My office is on the third floor of a building and has a 'lifeline' style emergency exit through the window. Next to the window there is a sign saying 'Emergency Exit Only', under which a previous occupant has scrawled 'ain't no lie'.

Nothing better than fire escape humour to brighten up one's day, am i rite?

I'm on the third floor and it seems to me there is only one way out of my building. If that's cut off...

I should seriously consider some kind of plan like that.
