Question of the Day, Saturday, August 26

Happy Weekend!

Name something that you have to stand on tiptoe or use a stool to reach in your house.

Our toaster is in the cabinet above the fridge. If Rick isn't around, I need to stand on a chair to get it down. Same with my most-used crockpot. In the bathroom, when I change bedsheets, I need a small stool to get to the shelves with the bedsheets.

What about you? Anything?

 

[Norachan]

The spare rolls of toilet paper on the shelf in the loo. I usually have to stand on the toilet seat to reach them.

 

[denice]

The small cupboards over the refrigerator. I only put things I occasionally use there.

Pretty much everything -from many spices to cat food cases to cleaning products,bathroom supplies- bedspreads,sheets,towels- it's ridiculous being 5' TALL,lol

 

[sivyaleah]

We try not to store anything too high up anymore. Climbing on a stepstool can be dangerous at our ages LOL

Absolutely,I keep all the daily stuff as low as possible but when you run out of space..... lol

 

[neely]

The cabinet above the stove where I store canned goods. But I usually just ask DH to get them down.

 

[susanm9006]

Second shelf and up of kitchen cabinets; upper shelves in any of the closets. I literally have a step stool in every room because they are needed on almost a daily basis.

Same height as me!

 

[bbdoll22]

Top shelves of all cabinets, shelves in closets, toaster oven (it’s on top of fridge)

No wonder it's a daily thing-same here,every room ! Lol

 

[iPappy]

I have a step stool sitting in front of the pantry because I can't reach the back of the two upper shelves without it. I also have an old ottoman in my closet because I can't reach the top shelves without it.

 

[bobkater]

I had a problem changing ceiling light bulbs, standing on a chair was too much stretching, standing on a table was awkward, so I bought a tripod ladder…and noticed that bulbs don’t burn any longer.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

The only thing I can think of is the top shelf of my hallway closet because it's deep. I can reach the stuff at the top as long as it's not all the way back. Otherwise I'd need a stool. My house is a 1960 rambler so it doesn't have high ceilings (and I can touch the ceiling in the basement).

 

[allmykitties]

I'd probably need to for a lot more, but my youngest son still lives in the house, and he's 5'11" so I frequently call on him to "please get [item] down for me" or "please change the lightbulbs in the kitchen" or whatever. Without him, yeah, I'd be needing my stepladder for a lot of things.

 

[aliceneko]

Any of the taller cupboards in the kitchen.

The life of a short person. I have to have a whole set of step stools and ladders. The ones for each room are small, one foot high and can help me reach most things in cubboards and lower shelves. Then there is a lightweight aluminum two-step step ladder for upper cabinets and top closet shelves. And then there is a tall heavy one with an upper railing to hang onto while doing things like changing light bulbs. Plus I also have a couple “grabbers” which help me get things down.

 

[lizzie]

The top shelves in the kitchen cabinets, the bathroom cabinet and in our closet.

When my son was here I did the same. He's 6'6". Now, if it's not important I'll just wait for him to stop by.
I'm only 5'5", so I pretty much need a stool for everything. Except the coffee pot. Made sure I could reach that easily.
