  A dollar says your sketch is the first drawn plan of this project.

  I mean personally I fail to see how this whole… thing… is better than like… adding a half inch or whatever to each of the stair rises in the flight on the way up… as long as it doesn’t surpass 7 3/4 inch per-stair rise, which I imagine this doesn’t come close to just by the way it looks, you could probably kill a lot of that weirdness with just super basic alterations…

  No, I think this hazard was a conscious decision, or at least the architect who drew it up sucks.

  I’m surprised it meets code tho, tbh. This is just begging someone to tumble down the stairs in the middle of the night.

    Could even be caused by code - complying with current code only applies to things you change.

    For example, maybe the stairs were in a bad place so someone moved them (I briefly considered that). Now the stairs need to comply with code, such as maximum steepness. How do you make that fit? The right way probably involves expensive structural mods (or having just said no), so this is the contractor making it fit “affordable”

    You don’t want to change the height of stairs
