That’s a scene from the exploration logs from the IRL version of the endlessly-deep stairwell SCP, which people kept getting eaten by.

Computer viking posted:Yeah, this - specifically an inboard engine. Even if you mostly sail, having the option is nice. Having been out on a relative's sailing boat (the best way to experience one) they're pretty much and probably legally necessary on anything that's too large to row, for a number of reasons but especially just getting in and out of the marina. And we've been out on days where the sea is fuckin glassy flat with no wind.

I regret I do not have a photo but my wife just sent me a message on Discord to let me know she was doing some demo as part of our bathroom expansion and has discovered that the 2x4 framing in our bathtub was not attached to anything. It was just floating in the wall attached to the sheetrock and shower. The 2x4 also did not make it all the way to the floor, and she learned this because she tugged on the sheetrock and brained herself with the 2x4 that came flying out at unexpected speed. Update: I now have a photo

Sometimes cut off pieces of lumber are used to stitch drywall seams together. Maybe that's it

For something that big maybe but for small stuff, really no. You have a 6” hole in the wall, you feed a 12” stick in, screw it to the drywall on each end of the stick, and then fix the patch to the stick. Your example photo would be a bit excessive, though.

Cut out the opening, add strips of lumber around the perimeter, apply fresh piece of drywall.

Fair enough, I just assumed the worst because of the other things we have found that the old man who owned it before us did when *he* did DIY work on it. Like when he put down vinyl sticker flooring over the original hardwood floors or when he expanded the house but kept the concrete back patio and just built a box around it using 2x4s and luan plywood that collapsed the first time something heavy was put on it.

Why are architects and interior designers so obsessed with making extremely dangerous stairs? I saw some documentary on Victorian times, and a leading cause of accidental death was falling down the stairs because the science of how to make stairs safe had not been really landed on, and there were no building codes so you'd get these incredibly steep and sometimes uneven deathtrap stairs that didn't have handrails or guardrails. We figured out how to design stairs so that people didn't routinely trip on them and we mostly put that into building code as a pretty important matter of life and death. But it never stops brain dead "function? Nah, only form matters!" architects and designers from constantly pumping out insanely stupid and dangerous stair designs. But, instead of the dangerous stairs being in tenements or narrow servant's access and mostly killing the poor, they're now mostly inflicted on the rich. So maybe it's fine?

Baronjutter posted:Why are architects and interior designers so obsessed with making extremely dangerous stairs? If you actually follow the building code, you get stairs that look like, well, normal stairs. There's enough rules in place that the form is pretty limited, and we're familiar with all of the conforming variations. Consequently, you can't radically re-imagine the concept of getting from one floor to another without making the stairs dangerous. And "radically re-imagining structures" is how architects go viral.

I remember seeing photos online of a wood staircase where the risers all had bookshelves in them (facing you as you climbed). Nothing unsafe but while everyone was gushing about how cute it was, all I could think about was how dirty and dusty the books would get.

I'm pretty sure even before sitcoms and movies made 'architect' the stock cool job, the field has been dominated with egomaniacal failkids who combine the worst of engineer brain with modern artist and actively loathe the idea of their buildings having people in them for any purpose but to admire them.

Cat Hatter posted:Even the guy demonstrating for the picture can't use alternating tread stairs. We have those style staircases in the warehouse area at work:  And, holy poo poo, do they break people's minds. Anyone who doesn't deal with them daily treats them like some incomprehensible alien device. Some freak out when they approach the stair and you can see them trying to work out which foot to put forward as they get closer, leading to them almost skipping half the time, getting it wrong and then trying to put their foot on the higher stair instead of the first one. Others refuse to use them outright and go all the way around the warehouse to the office area on the other side, use the regular stairs in there and then go back into the warehouse. I'm not a fan of them because I have size 15 feet, but I just walk down them backwards. I can only image how people would deal if we had those mechanical stairs: https://i.imgur.com/63PsKTy.mp4
