Beware of locking doors when looking at houses.
We were looking at homes yesterday in Fond Du Lac. The last house we looked at was near Michael's Grandparents. You can look out the kitchen window into their backyard. Since the house is a foreclosure it was empty and I let Patrick wander around on his own. There isn't anything to break or destroy, so I felt he would be safe. I, by the way, loved this house.
We were talking with our realator about this house and some others we have looked at and Patrick went down the hall to one of the bedrooms. He shut the door and was talking and walking around in the room. He's done this before, so I didn't think anything about it until it was time to leave. When I went to open the door, it was locked.
There was no outside release to unlock it and we didn't have any screw drivers with take the door knob off. Patrick was still quite happy in the room. Michael ran over to his Grandparents home to borrow a small screwdriver. By this time Patrick had realized that he couldn't get out and started to cry. 5 minutes later we got him out of the bedroom.
First thing I would change if we go with that house, new doors without locks.
