    Funny how with the stairs (without the banisters) it seems even less safe than the ladders -- but rekon the pyramid builders would be proud.

    • @t7y49
      @t7y49 16 дней назад +50

      I was thinking the same thing. There is an illusion of safety where you can feel a bit comfortable when it isn't just a straight drop but it's still a one false step and you're in trouble situation in the middle of the staircase. Temporary railings would help. They're doing such a great job though!

You have an incredible head for heights and spatial awareness.

      Funny how everybody seems to agree. in theory one would think it would get safer with these "stairs" compared to the ladders, but on the ladders, you had hands and feet "connected" and needed to concentrate while as-/descending, while on these "stairs", walking is upright, much faster pace and feels safer, which can lead to lapse of caution/concentration and with no rails... oh my! stuff of nightmares.

    Silly and dangerous ramps.
    But, it could be fixed fairly simply. Space those timber stringers about 3'/1m apart for starters. Then add horizontal treads out of your same timber materials. Simple 'L' shaped metal brackets underneath to support the treads or long lag screws through the stringers into the ends of the risers (more difficult with stringers against stone wall). And, as others have said, add a railing. It only takes one fall for your project (or a life) to be over.

    Hey Dan. There is actually a very similar building with this one in Romania. It is called “ Palatul Ghiță Pleșa”, situated in Obarsia de Camp. From what I know it was built in 1892 by a local land owner who had a son in France studying Law. He eventually got married in France and later died there without having children. The building is registered in Romania as National Monument with identification Code: MH-II-m-A-10367.

    Dan! Get a HAND-RAIL-SYSTEM in place.

    Handrail a must as I felt almost sick when Dan was walking up the staircase and the drop at the side! Def looks more dangerous than the ladder.

    Excellent transformation. I think a rope handrail would be a good idea. It wouldn't really affect the material handling width but could be a crucial thing to grab onto.

    I would frankly be terrified to use those. They send shivers up my spine just watching you use them. I'd need them to be twice as wide as they are now before I'd attempt them, mostly just so that if I stumbled, I'd have somewhere to fall that wasn't down an open shaft.
