Gate Engineer

Because we don't believe that teaching Joshua about gravity should be accomplished by letting him fall down stairs, we need to have a gate at the top of the stairs leading to the basement.  Pressure-mounted gates aren't approved for the top of stairs, so we were limited to hardware-mounted gates.  Because of the baseboard and the handrail, it's been almost impossible to find a gate that would work.  We finally found one, but it's still going to take some modification.  I'm having to break out a few engineering tricks to get it safely mounted on both walls.
