I've never lived for any length of time anywhere that had stairs like that, but I've also never stubbed my toe on a riser hard enough that I think I'd have that problem. Just from the angles I'd hit my shin on the next step up first. Slipping has me either falling up the stairs if I'm ascending--ie falling forward--and sliding down the steps on my face; or slipping away from the risers if I'm descending. I just don't think it's a real problem beyond the stairs version of that thing where you, like, compulsively visualize an opening door catching your toenails and bending them all back at once. Or at least it's not a problem compared to stairs-related head injuries. Blue Footed Booby fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Mar 5, 2023 |

Outdoor stairs have open risers all the time, so do metal stairs.

Same, misjudged the top step while carrying a couple of boxes and stubbed the hell out of my big toe. Nail turned black and fell off the next day. I'm just proud of myself for setting the boxes down and not letting them drop.

Things I found at the art supply store yesterday.  Switches  Employee only area, maybe six feet tall.  Some kind of air vent? It was entirely carpeted inside and took a sharp turn off to the right and down.  An open passthrough between the upstairs area and the stairwell. The framed thing is an Independent Order of Odd Fellow's banner. I can't find anything about the history of the building. It may have been a meeting hall at some point.   An old stage (?) and a pegboard employee booth that doesn't reach the ceiling.  I think this must exit onto the roof? Maybe?

PainterofCrap posted:The main issue was having to vent down under the floor & (somewhere) at basement level because the entry stairs are right outside that window and putting a vent ejecting greasy poo poo directly onto a flight of stairs seemed unwise. Yeah but imagine what you could do to solicitors.

When my dad rented a house on a hillside without a cat door he cut a hole in the floor underneath one of the kitchen cabinets, placed a plank as a ramp leading to the ground below, took the cupboard door off and replaced it with a little curtain. When he moved out he put the floor section back in and re-mounted the cupboard door.

Someone shoves something in there regularly and it bangs on the edges when they miss a bit. I'm thinking storage for some metal thing that sits out in the store all day and gets tucked away at night.

I'm thinking storage for some metal thing that sits out in the store all day and gets tucked away at night. I cannot emphasize how weird the layout in the store is. It's an absolute maze full of odd little rooms, randomly sized shelves, uneven floors and ceilings, and just about every building material you can imagine. This was in the stairwell, about knee height, under a shelf that someone built over half the stairs. It may very well end up in a bin in the basement somewhere, but if so it's pretty hard to get to. Google has some interior pics, including a few 360 views

It does have some outsider art vibes, but there's very little ornamentation. It's all utilitarian and slapdash. I should go back and take more pictures (and buy more art supplies).

This is what you get when someone complains about how every modern house looks the same and they don't build em like they used to... But the person is still cheap and still goes with all the standard building materials.

This isn't exactly crappy, it just struck me as a bit strange. It kinda looks like 3 buildings, but going past it it seems to be one large building. Maybe they wanted to add height while maintaining the character of the neighbourhood?  Another one a block later. From head on it seems to be 3 buildings, but at this angle you can see it is just one. Was there a time when this was an architecture trend? Or are these buildings metastasizing and we're just being dosed by the SCP foundation so we don't notice anything strange.

It's pretty common for design guidelines or boards providing discretionary approval of projects to encourage poo poo like "breaking up the massing" because heaven forbid anyone perceive a large building. Everybody, architects and residents alike, think stuff like this looks like poo poo. I think only a couple hundred people in the US even like it, it just so happens those people are the ones sitting on those boards and commissions approving these projects.
