Do they build 3d renders or actual submarines? I can't tell

They don't even have a nuclear-powered model? What a bunch of tryhards.

They email you some rendering until enough checks clear that they can close the company and you never hear from them again.

Is that mounted by the floor, or the chair rail?

I think my bathroom has that same tile. Strangely, I don't think it will ever break my ankles like that stairway would have without that railing.

Could that have been retrofitted because people complained of a lack of handrail? Its still dodgy if it is.

Depending on what kind of place that is they may have intended the blind stairs to be more of a sitting area. I assume that's how it gets used regardless, anyway.

From what I remember, this is in the Bahamas. Which doesn't surprise me one bit, getting things done over there is nearly an exercise in futility. Let alone getting it done right.

My middle school had part of the stairs blocked off as a seating area, because students would be sitting there anyway. They got slapped on the fingers by the fire deparment though because you're not allowed to put an obstacle like that in the middle of an evacuation route.

The oldest part of the building was built in 1858, by a Farrier that leased horses and wagons to the federal government for the Cleveland-Ravenna and Mentor-Ravenna mail routes. It did a short stint as a mortuary/funeral parlor in the early 1870's. The Ravenna Republican newspaper moved in the the late 1870's. Things are coming along...

Has there ever been a time in the US where hardwood was used for studs, or where "soft" wood was significantly harder? At some point in the lifetime of my 110 year old house someone framed in a little workshop in the basement with 2x4 studs 4 foot on center and then 4x8 plywood attached to that. I was attaching some brackets to it and I had a hell of a time driving the screws in with my plug-in drill. The directions said to pre-drill the holes but I said "lol pine" and drove them in with no pilot. After the first bracket I went with predrilling (3/32 inch) and even with that I really had to press in and the drill bit got pretty hot. I also swear the drill shavings smelled the same as what oak smells like when you cut it. Is it possible I have oak studs in my basement?

Older pine was much denser because it grew slower. They also tended to dice the entire tree up into whatever dimensional lumber was being made that day so you ended up with 2x4s made of even tougher heartwood. Now the mills laser scan each trunk to optimize the cuts based on predicted market is prices for various dimensions of lumber. There's a bit of hushed background talk in the softwood lumber industry about the possibility that the new horticultural methods are making the trees grow too quickly and that the lumber may not meet strength standards as a result.

Also, your 110 year old house may have been built out of whatever trees grow locally.

That isn't just a possibility, it's almost a certainty. Half of the lumber we get in at the yard is checked down the middle from what I'm certain is growing them fast, and drying them fast. The other half is crooked. We had to try to switch suppliers because they couldn't send us any 2x12x8s that weren't 95% junk. You shouldn't be able to pick a piece of lumber out of a fresh pile, and have it break in two right off the bat.

I think this is part of the reason the industry is looking to things like VersaLam for some applications where strength or straightness is of paramount concern. Of course, each stud costs like 3x as much, but they're great for framing out doors/windows or on corners.

"Hardwood" and "Softwood" are distinguished by whether the tree is a Gymnosperm or Angiosperm. Many of the common hardwoods are harder than the common softwoods, but some softwoods (like Yew) are harder than most hardwoods, and the softest woods (such as Balsa) are hardwoods. And as mentioned, old-growth and/or heartwood, or even just knots, can give you quite hard specimens from wood species that are typically soft.

Finger jointed studs seem like a great option for straighter lumber as well; I'm surprised they aren't easier to find.

I don't think there's any particular reason that a well-made finger joint scarfed board would be more likely to split than a non-jointed one?
