I can do them but I can't get as much height as I would like. I'm always afraid of my face hitting the ground. :P

Put a small pillow down...you won't need to worry about your face........ O0
Want more heigth, don't try to do the clapping push-ups for a while, instead put some weight on you back and do the push-up's as fast as possible....

If I'm fresh and it's at the beginning of the workout, I can usually do about 3 sets of 20 pullups with a narrow grip. I can get through the same amount of wide-grip, usually, but it's more of a struggle. Near the middle or end of a workout when I'm getting tired, it's very hit or miss.

That's about the same number of push-ups I can do.
Have to keep my "3 pack" in check!
I haven't done pull-ups since my college years. Narrow-grip and wide-grip,
that takes me back. Had the bar in the door frame thing. I'd be afraid to try that sort of pull-up now. I think the frame would collapse from my post college weight.
Is there another way to do in house pull-ups?

I don't know. I've never done them at home for the same reason -- no place to do them.

I do (or used to do) them on the kids swing set. I guess if you don't have a swing set you could slip into the neighbors yard and use theirs.
