using a Darwin door, or something

Nov 11, 2003 21:14

So, our house arguably has two Darwin doors in the master bed room. The first one is the standard sort where, should the need arise, you simply open it, step out from the bedroom, and fall to your death (or other less dramatic stop).

The second one is more complicated, though. Half of the bed room has a high ceiling, and the other half has a standard ceiling. In the half-wall where the two ceiling heights meet, there is a Darwin door that would let you fall into the bed room. Unfortunately, there is no other way into the attic-like-room on the other side of the Darwin door.

What I'm trying to decide is how I could make it fairly convenient to use this Darwin door to fall into the bed room. As it stands, you would have to bring a ladder up to the bed room, and set it up before you could climb up to the mini-attic and make use of the Darwin door. How is it ever going to help clean up the gene pool like that? I need something more convenient so the door has a better chance of fulfilling its reason for existing. Maybe a rope ladder or just a knotted rope, that's always attached at the top and can go over a hook or something to keep it out of the way when it's not in use. Any thoughts?
