[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to put in an egress window in case of fire.  Would you put your kids in that room?  Two exits are good but not helpful if she's in the bedroom sleeping and fire is outside the bedroom.  Its probably a few thousand to put one in.[/quote]

Funny question. Now that our kids are older our teen is begging to go in the basement bedroom (no egress, but a door a fee feet away from the room, I'd say wayyyy easier to escape that any of the upstairs bedrooms). We don't have an alarm, so I'm worried that he would be able to sneak out completely undetected.[/quote]

You need to rework that space.  If there is a fire and someone is sleeping in the bedroom with the door closed and fire is in the main space, they may not be able to get to that door so you either fix the interior wall to give door access or put in an egress.  If your teen wants to sneak out, they will either way.  I wouldn't put a teen in the basement for a variety of reasons as long as you have enough space for each child to have their own room upstairs.  Its easy enough to get camera's and an alarm system and tracker on their phone.  Its the fire issue, not sneaking out.  If the window is large enough to escape, it might be ok but not with a tiny window.[/quote]
