    At what point does a set of stairs become a wall? How thin can steps be before they are no longer considered steps?

      I don’t know but I think it’s fair to say if it becomes necessary to ask those questions then you went too far.

      I would assume when you can no longer stand on them.

    Looks like an advanced Doom II map.

    Just missing a teleport at the top to simulate a second floor, or a silent téléporter if you’re really fancy.

    Wtf, why didn’t you tell me you were coming over?

    (Thankfully not nearly as steep)

    Where I come from we call these, “up only” stairs. Kind of like how Perl is a write-only language.

    At this point, just use a ladder. It’d be safer too.

    That would also make space for a slide-down pole, which would be faster.

    Extreme inner city house attic stairs vibes. Anything goes with attic stairs!

      I’ve been looking for attic stair options. Anything that easier to carry/slide boxes down than a ladder.

      You’ll be thankful for anything more sloped than a ladder 😂

        Depends.

        Houses that were built before specific regulations came into force are almost always grandfathered into the old ones.

        I myself live in a house built in 1900 which has steep stairs that would be illegal today, but it predates the regs and gets a pass.

          Clearly this depends on Jurisdiction, but for example grandfathered in electrical outlets are fine but kitchens and bathrooms almost always need more expensive ground faulted receptacles according to the National Electric Code. When human health and safety is a clear immediate risk such as this then it usually has to be torn out.

          In California they have CEBC based on the IEBC, which requires old buildings to meet their own separate building codes.

    If that’s the stairway to heaven, can I request to be shown the stairs leading down?

      I’m not sure of exactly how to access them. Check with the pedophile section at the prison. They can show you the way.
