The steps in my house
Check out the trends on the stairs that leads to my basement. Each one is different and was cut with a hand saw 95 years ago to fit snugly against the foundation stones. I get it enjoy this craftsmanship daily. I know I need to sweep the stairs.
I know, right?! My front steps are poured concrete, but every one of them is a different height and depth, and the whole thing is way too steep. I keep thinking the dude must have been drunk when he laid out that lovely plan.
