  1. In the kid’s defense, those stairs are not the stairs that you and I are used to. It’s not a sweet and gentle 50 degrees. It’s closer to 40 degrees. And the stairs are higher.Report

    1. In one of my grandparents’ houses there was the front staircase that connected only the first and second floors, with its wide treads and gentle slope. Then there were the back stairs that I loved, steep and narrow and dark, that ran all the way from the basement to the attic.Report

    2. My wife’s uncle lives in the house his dad built around this era, and the stairs are pretty much exactly like this. (Maybe worse, as that house has a 90 degree turn at the very bottom by the door)Report
