Had to take the glass slats out of the toilet window, scale up the down pipe, perch on the window sill and decide whether I wanted to take a giant leap missing the toilet or risk sliding off the lid and slamming into the closed door. We now have a spare key hidden in the yard.
In those instances itâs better to see if you can hold on to the ledge and scale or drop down instead of jumping or making a leap.
It would significantly reduce the height from which you come down if you did that or had room to do that.
Learnt this from if we ever had to escape a fire from out of a window.
I think I did that the second time around.

Spare keys somewhere useful, memorable, and not one of those dumb fake rocks is an art.

I really wish theyâd let us have spare keys. So far I havenât locked myself out when nobodyâs home, but if I do Iâm probably fucked. I would just take the keys to Bunnings and get a spare one cut and hide in myself, but theyâre those stupid security ones no locksmith will duplicate. I guess thatâs good since they donât change the locks when people move out, but itâs also a PITA because they refuse to authorise a spare key
They gave some half arsed excuse about how people could break in by smashing a lockbox with a brick or a rock. They donât seem to realise that windows can also be broken with bricks and rocks

Truthfully, locks only stop honest or lazy people. If they really want in, things are getting broken. Get windows that look really noisy to smash đ¤ˇđťââď¸
