Looking for some bright ideas for an easily used sound generator. OK - here's the scene:
Our home was originally built in 1874 when walls were good thick solid walls and floors were so thick that little sound travels up or down.
My dear OH is still able to get upstairs to the bathroom unaided but has, of late, needed some assistance getting sorted out and cleaned up. All the time he can manage by himself I want him to continue doing so but I'd like him to be able to summon me if necessary.
The bathroom's towards the front of the house. I spent 75% of my time in the kitchen at the back of the house - so weak voiced hollering down to me doesn't work.
I don't want to introduce anything electronic or complicated like a walkie-talkie so am a bit stumped right now. Do you lads and lasses think a good old gas horn (no pun intended) might be worth considering so long as I make my next door neighbours aware of what it's for and forestall any unintended panic?
