Hi Scott, yes indeed, most of us know what you mean!! :( well, you could try masking tape on the floor. it's fairly rough (and so easily felt), comes in all types of widths, and is easily removed if you don't like it. my guess though would be that it would be easy to step over it by accident; so, you'd have to plaster the floor with masking tape all around a corner to be sure you don't miss it. practice does help; you'll be surprised how good you can get at walking in "free space" without guides of any kind. and finally, they do make a somewhat rounded clear plastic corner overlay. you can buy it in home repair "do it yourself" type stores. it's for protecting corners in areas where they may get bumped (like here at work we have them because we have so much material moving through the halls on carts which run into the corners), and they also serve to hold down and protect wall-paper, which sometimes ends on one wall, but doesn't turn the corner, so it would tend to peal away from a corner without one of these clear corner protectors. If it's your face which is taking the knocks, then maybe a foot long strip of corner protect at head height would do. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission Chip.Orange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) ________________________________ From: tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of sgreenblatt76@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 9:00 AM To: TABI Subject: [tabi] Avoiding Corners I just had a close encounter with a sharp corner within my house which resulted in a laceration, Band-Aid, and icepack. I have to admit to being lazy and not trailing along another wall for guidance but I just didn't feel like walking around so restricted. I'd like to know what recommendations anyone has to help avoid these dangerous obstacles in my home. I was thinking of some way to mark the floor around sharp corners to properly indicate I'm within a dangerous spot but I couldn't think of anything which would work. Alternately, I'd like to know if anyone has recommendations on how I can find some attractive barrier, like some cushioning, to put on those corners which would make them not so sharp and dangerous if I do encounter them unexpectedly. I appreciate all recommendations as I'm really tired of worrying about scarring my face on unexpected household accidents. Thanks! Scott
