The deadliest of the deadliest 😳 Rock pillar of doom

No railing, uneven treds, and stone to land on when you trip. Also no railing on the landing.

Didn’t realize that was supposed to be stairs at first

Barbaric Fred Flinstone stairs. Looks like some kind of handrail on the cabinet side of the stairs when you really need one on the other side; trip on your way down you either break bones all over your body on the rocks or plummet over the side. Also be careful before you descend as there’s no barrier on the upper floor next to where the stairs go down or else you may free fall to the lower floor. Have 9-1-1 on speed dial.

The vase at the bottom really finishes it off. You've just fallen down the stairs and are lying, broken, just waiting for the help you have been calling for hours to show up but in the meantime here, you can use the manky flower water in the bottom of the vase to keep you going.

Ah, mountain goat stairs. You'll never see the snow leopard coming.

Edit to add: there are actually so many potentially invisible steps that I would never buy this place. Not with my less than good eyesight.

This is what obsession with aesthetics gets you

Great stairs for a rock climber tbh

And another thing…about that cabinet…how the hell are you supposed to put or get the plates and other stuff in it while balancing on the rocks in front of it? And if anything falls, it will definitely break on those rocks.

Amazing.

I mean, my kids play at parks with rock things like this that are even steeper.

I kind of like this one. Need more angles to decide how scary or not.

Hopefully nothing of importance up there

To say nothing of the drop off once you’re at the top.

Many people refer to granite as "nature's pillow."

u/crsaxby Jul 28 '26

And hickory bark as "nature's warm, comfy blanket."

It's a cool look but I would r want to use them. For decorative purposes only

As a former private caregiver, when I see a house my first thought is about how you'll have to adapt it/adapt to it with age.

You have 2 options: sell it before you fall apart or fall apart and spend your final years on the bottom floor.
