1) Where did you buy a "lock box" to put your prescriptions in?

I got a Fireproof Safe from Sam’s, and that’s what I use.

2) We have a gas burning fireplace that has an attached glass door. Should this meet the standard to prevent burns or do we need a fireplace screen? Our home was built last year.

We don’t have a fireplace, so I cant help you there…you *could* just go out and buy the screen, to have on hand for the inspection…and if she mentions needing it, tell her you have one on hand, but weren’t sure about the need for it, so you wanted to ask her before you took it out of the package.

3) How did you safely store your kitchen knives? I know that they need to be stored up high, but did you put them in a "lock box"?

I have a butcher block, and I keep it on top of my refrigerator…I take them down when I am cooking and will need them, but then put them right back up when I’m done. It’s a pain, but worth it to keep the kids safe! I even do this when I don’t have a placement, to keep myself in check. (Most of our placements are toddlers)

4) How did you store cleaning supplies? Did you lock them up?

I keep all of my cleaning supplies in a locked cabinet out in the garage…the only thing I keep under the sink is some of that “safe” cleaner…the non-chemical kind you can get at Target.
