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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours 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] 1 points 8 hours 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

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.

Or are they just participating in this Gif Conversation?

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.

[–] BradleyUffner 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day 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.

[–] hOrni 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] ByteJunk 2 points 23 hours ago

Or a basket for catching heads.

Why do the steps looks so wide apart?!

[–] donuts 47 points 1 day 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] 9 points 1 day 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.

[–] angrystego 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

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

[–] angrystego 3 points 1 day ago

Thanks, this makes sense.

[–] ghurab 13 points 1 day 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.

[–] BradleyUffner 2 points 1 day ago

Because they are wide apart

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

It looks like the steps height isn't even consistant

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

They spent so much time thi—-

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.

There's an fb group called Death Stairs, for anyone who wants more of this and is still using meta platforms for any reason.
