I assume your concern is with all these pictures having no alt text? Makes sense and I'm sorry. It's not my intention to be exclusionary.

I'm open to ideas on how to fix that and still have Gif Conversations.

Also, I love the concept. I just found your community and have immediately subscribe.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No! Not at all! I'm still trying to get on the habit of using alt text myself... but these stairs are a nightmare for any personn with difficulty to move their legs or with balance issues.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

OH! Ok, but good news - everyone would hate these stairs so they can be an equalizer in that sense haha

And hopefully you saw the comment saying they're not finished and would get wooden steps before people walk on them

Architect ? I doubt an architect has been involved in this process.

As a homeowner doing some heavy renovation this is precisely why I hired an architect.

We had a lot of ideas on how we wanted to do things and I'm glad we had an architect there to tell us when an idea we thought was brilliant was actually a terrible idea for X, Y and Z reasons.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure no code inspector was involved either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Definitely not. Selling this house at some point in the future will be a nightmare because you're going to have to rip this out and put in normal, non-lethal stairs.

This is a category of meme known as "death stairs" by some.

My poor, poor shin

Why do the steps looks so wide apart?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Because they are wide apart

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The real answer: it's not finished yet, this is just the frame. The steps itself still have to be installed. Usually wood.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Thanks, this makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I don’t know if everyone is that dense or they just play along but these are clearly not the finished product.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can't speak for everyone, but I'm dense.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Can't speak for anyone but I was just ignorant. Thanks for the 411.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Because the architect wanted the gap between the steps to match the depth of the steps to get a striped look, because it looks better that way, obviously.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

It looks like the steps height isn't even consistant

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

They spent so much time thi—-

Legs? There should be a "teeth bucket" underneath this thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Or a basket for catching heads.

The answer to: why are there so many regulations limiting my artistic freedom.

Can we meme a standard gif reply to people who don't realize what community they're in? I love this comm idea, but I've used this one on two posts but I don't want to spam.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Not for long!

Or are they just participating in this Gif Conversation?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This would be cool if

  1. The stairs were fully solid, bottom and backs.
  2. This was made with mixed wood planks. The lower part has storage and the upper part has holes in the wall part to open the space up
  3. If had a hand rail on the outer side.

When you put so many points into optimism that it becomes indistinguishable from delusion.
