Honestly I think the halogen lamp against the romex is the real problem there, those things get hot. I'm currently using a piece of flex shielded out of a subpanel like that as an extension cord while I work on my basement but it is actually fastened in with proper clamps on both ends.

And this is just temp because I killed the outlets on accident and the guy fixing our beams needed light and power. It's wired "correctly" at least! Load bearing ground and all!

Nah, it's fine, you just need a wraparound flashing on the pipe that tucks into one of those couplings so water can't get in under it. I'm sure they did that rather than leave an unprotected hole in the middle of their roof.

why not just pipe it into the gutter? Why does it have to go into the floor?

Many cities have regulations that prevent piping condensate into stormwater drainage, including gutters. It must go to plumbing.

There was a period where I was having to keep a bunch of it in buckets until the plumbing went in, and had to keep reminding the plasterers not to use it to mix up a batch.

If that exhaust fan is used over any piece of cooking equpitment, the stuff running out of that is going to be a bunch of greasy sludge too, so that may be part of it as well. Though, most EFs I've seen just dump it on the roof.

I was thinking somebody had put double sided tape on the rail, like how you do on a counter to keep cats off it.

Functionally about the worst I can say about them is the lack of risers creates a tripping hazard. There's a handrail (of sorts) and the step size is consistent, which is better than can be said about a lot of the staircases that get posted here. I do have to wonder how rigid they are though, considering how heavily-cantilevered everything is. There'd better be some steel reinforcement or something on those wooden boards. Or maybe the wood is just a veneer?

if they're not solid concrete they're gonna be springs. steel isn't gonna cut it.

I glanced at their behanced page but I'm on mobile and I'm not sure if it's a render or never utilized stairs. In any case, I give it a 5/10. It could kill me, but lacks stylish red LEDs and the ominous accessories like a pit right below it, or being right next to a large second story window.

It also falls under the general architecture category of "This thing I will never see in person or have to live with seems like a great idea!" AKA Frank Lloyd Wright's entire career.

I notice that the dark wooden steps curve back around to become the next flight of stairs. They attach to a wall or the ceiling, right? They don't just stretch all that way back and hang there? Also I'm no engineer but I get this feeling in my gut like the S bend in those stairs is going to see some stress.

Those stairs are unusual for this thread in that they're dumb for structural engineering reasons and not for usability reasons (or complete-idiots-failing-to-read-blueprints-correctly reasons, like the classic concrete stairs folding directly back in on themselves). Not that they're exactly good in the usability department, just that the most glaring flaw with them is that they're unlikely to actually be buildable. hailthefish fucked around with this message at 11:14 on Oct 1, 2018 |

Why would they be unbuildable? They would cost an unreasonable amount of money, but since when has that stopped architects?

Surely it'd be possible to build a stud wall going into the room slightly so that the door was at the end of a small corridor/alcove and then you have the stairs to that room branching off this landing here instead of whatever this corner arrangement is supposed to be.

value-brand cereal posted:Rate these stairs, thread: Structurally they're not as crazy as they first look. The "floating" side of each step would be anchored to the upright of the stair just behind it. The third brown stair upright looks like it's floating in between two stairs, but it's not: it's supported by a white upright on the second flight. So no, they won't bounce like crazy, no more so than any other similar-width tread only supported on the ends. With careful attention to pullout strength of the ceiling anchors and the shear strength of what holds the alternating uprights together, it's completely doable (if still a huge trip hazard).

Yeah, this. The only actual unsupported cantilever portion is a triangle-shaped wedge on each step that is only hanging out the tread depth at its deepest, and narrows off to zero at the opposite end. The rest is effectively stacked straight to the floor. This is true for the second flight, as well. Also it's a render so nobody will ever walk on it anyhow, CG has infinite loading capabilities.
