I wish it was that glorious of an excuse. Low door frame and oddly designed stairs in my 90 year old house. I've actually knocked myself out cold before, but I've never had vision /dizziness like this for soon long. I guess cutting that opening into an archway just nipped higher on my To do list

Like Hunter S. Thompson and golf shoes, please...
...WHAT ABOUT THE FRICKIN' HOT WINGS!!!
I concede to Hizzout because I was too lazy to memorize that Hunter S. Thompson paragraph. That and, dang blast it, I know that there are readers who caught the reference. And I'm not into such recreational pharmaceutical remedies for life. ;-)
Did Hunter S. Thompson help craft a computerized text adventure? If so I'd *LOVE* to check it out, since I'm such a cheeky bugger.

Only 90 years old, and those problems? Wow.

How many times have you knocked yourself out there?

This sounds like something to take care of right away, before you get serious brain damage. If you are only putting it on your "to do" list, maybe you already have serious brain damage.

The door frame isn't in disrepair. It's just slightly lower than "normal" due to being built before any sort of code standard was created. The stairs also start to rise immediately at the door frame. This causes an obvious clearance issues for anyone over 6'.

A little bump on the head isn't going to compete with the brain cells killed in my teens & twenties...but thanks for the concern I guess.
It's on the to-do list because its a load bearing wall, with a header over the frame. I can either:
a) Knock out the back of the house, put on an addition, and then move the stairwell back 4 feet.
b) Jack the ceilings around the stairwell, cut open every surrounding wall (plaster mind you), rebuild the header with some added headroom, repair surrounding walls (plaster mind you, so I'll end up doing the whole run).
I'll take the concussion every now and then. It's less of a headache.

I was thinking: it's not as though there were no tall people 90 years ago.

or
c) redo the stairs
or
d) at least put padding over the door frame

So, you weren't up to finding or building a piston-based one?
1.2.5. I've had to start a single-player world. Nothing much in it yet other than a single room on top of a tree in a jungle and 15 square meters of wheat.

Pretty much same here. Except that the wheat is 3x3 and half a kilometer away.

Obviously you have never lived in an old house. Judging by the way they are built, you'd suspect the entire population was made of people under 5'5".

No way to do so without expanding the house. They are already pushing "Ladder" status. Again..90 years old, shit wasn't built to any sort of standard.

Adhesive on my maple trim? Hell no.

Not to mention it would look incredibly ghetto.
I've got a similar setup, but it's just tall enough that, at 5' 11", I barely brush it going up and down the stairs normally. So far, I have yet to make significant contact, even traversing the stairs half asleep and/or drunk. If I were a few inches taller, though, I could definitely see it being a problem.
