To destroy (de-construct) the average staircase in a modern home isn't that difficult to do. All you need is a razor knife, prybar, crowbar and heavy weight hammer.

First you cut up and remove the carpeting from the staircase's treads, then set the prybar under the tread and hit it with the hammer to drive (wedge) the prybar between the riser and the tread. Once the gap is large enough, set the prybar in the gap and using the crowbars extra leverage, lift the tread off the riser.

Repeat as needed, until all treads have been removed. If desired you could then dismantled the risers, but I'm not sure that would be required, as I doubt zed's are co-ordinated enough to climb the risers to the second floor.

For safety and security after I removed the risers I'd construct a simple solid wall out of plywood and be done with it.

"Everybody chillax...No need to kill each other over a staircase.

Okay, staying upstairs in your house is a bad idea for most if not all houses; leaving flammable items on the first floor for the Skinnies to fuck around with is even more stupid."

Alright, an explanation for my reasoning:

Most houses aren't very escapable without a fire-ladder [which everyone should have if they have a 2-story house, EOD*] or sturdy trellis and or gutters. If you're fortunate enough to already have these and KNOW they'll work when you need them to, boo-yah. In a nutshell, if you can't escape from the 2nd story in a jiffy in case of fire or a breach**, don't do it.

**If you go the 2nd story route, BARRICADE AND BLACKOUT the 1st floor [Ya only need to blackout the 2nd floor unless they're super-Zeds] so they don't get their nasty-ass selves in your home thus nullifying the box-up-giving in the first place. Regularly head down to check the barricades for signs of weakness and or tampering, and act accordingly to repair them [you should have crap in your house you can use to fix them]. Keep the flammables someplace safe, someplace NOT on the 1st floor or basement, preferably nicely boxed up and away from any and all sources of heat or sparks [smoke somplace other than the 'splosives room you fucking moron!] and assign someone trusted to check the flammables containers every now and then for leaks or other bad things.

The 2nd story of one's house is doable, but not for very long, I'd give it a week or so before I'd head out [I only know of one person's house that I'd go to having 2 stories, and he and the rest of the crime-ridden city's packin' like a muthafukka ; )

*End Of Discussion; Z-day or not you should be prepared...EOD.
