Awesome but it seems like opening and closing them when loaded could hurt the fingies.
bambinod
most stairways going up have an accompanying stairway going down on the other side of them

I think…. I think this just gave me an orgasm?

I tried to find a Harry Potter reaction image, but this is all I got.

You evicted Harry Potter

Should've made it a sublet could've gotten 1,000 extra a month.

WHAT IS THIS WIZARDRY?

Nice idea to make the most of the space but could they at least make the drawer faces look a little nicer than the blank front of a filing cabinet?

The Dusty Boys was the name of my last band.

What are you going to put in your drawers now?
BornToDoStuff
for some reason I read "space tiddy" and there might be no tiddy but it was still kind of satisfying
VowOfPoverty
That beam looked structural to me. Thoughts?
Evenmoreuselessname
Looks like (hopefully) just a framing stud to hold the old wall/partition?
AlmostClever
Was wondering that too, wonder if there's some structural support built into the stairs themselves?
donpat
stairs are, in fact, their own structural support. The stringer (the zig zag bit on the side of the steps) runs in a single piece from the top to the bottom. There is another one against the wall and possible another in the middle. The treads (the part you step on) are attached to the stringers and hold everything together. The risers (the part you kick with your toe) are then attached as well, though they are optional, structure-wise. The whole thing (plus the floor above) bear the weight
VowOfPoverty
But I feel like it now can bear less weight?
donpat
imagine you are on the second floor of a building. That floor holds all the weight it needs to without any issue. Now someone puts a post in the middle of the room below, supporting the ceiling (and thus the floor you're standing on).
Can the floor now hold more weight? Yeah, sure.
Will removing that post now mean the floor can bear less weight than with the post? Yes, sure. Does it matter? not at all. A normal wooden staircase like the one in the OP has no need for internal support.

Well now where is your magical nephew supposed to sleep?!?!

He’ll just have to sleep in his drawers.

Can fit 7 of them in now (2 would have to be pretty small though).

In one of the nine new condos. The upright penthouse suite spanning three stories is $3500 per month.

One piece of Harry Potter for all Hogwarts houses.

Didn't add any support back?! Sir!

Not my house not my problem

Idc regulations and safety considerations be dammed do whatever you want this is how you want to live then dont bitch when you fall though the stairs
QuanfaKibitzer
Are those load-bearing cabinets? It doesn't look like it.
pres465
Most annoying is there was a great opportunity between the first and second compartment to just add back a 2x4 or 2x6 for support with almost not lost efficiency.
Kilo11
They are not , on today's episode of why the stairs started squeaking
somebackup
It's pretty clear you don't understand how stairs work. None of the framing around the stairs does anything. It carries zero load. The stringers are what carry load. The stringers are the side of the stairs that the steps sit on. This thing: https://s3.amazonaws.com/finehomebuilding.s3.tauntoncloud.com/app/uploads/2020/11/09191858/open-and-closed-stringers.jpg

As a framer, youre not completely wrong , what the connection to a wall and center support does is help carry weight to avoid bounce , bounce causes creaking and separation in multiple places along the stairs structure, stairs can live without these supports (think raised patios) but in a home where you dont want bounce or creeking those supports are essential to the structure as a whole so you dont get sagging or base trim problems.
endem1c
I thought that too... didn't look like there was much to begin with though...

That jack stud he removed was doing all of it
NovemberIndiaCharlieKilo
Stringers support the stairs. Wall below it is not necessary structurally speaking.
Kilo11
Technically speaking correct, patio stairs dont need them, but if you dont want splitting, baseboards separating floorboards squeaking and so on, they are necessary
Trunkmonkay
Those weren't supports, they were the framing for the wall.
NoUserNameIsTaken
Door frame
Kilo11
Yeah the wall that was supporting the stairs
donpat
stairs like this don't need support along their run. If they're built and affixed properly to the floor above and the floor below then that's all they need.
Trunkmonkay
It's genuinely hilarious for someone like you to watch a video of a professional tradesman do their job, and for you to think "I, who have driven 7 nails in my lifetime, think this trained carpenter who does this for a living is doing it wrong". What an intense level of arrogance.
Kilo11
Buddy im a framer by trade so deal with engineers all the time, we are constantly fighting with Carpenters because they "think" something is good enough to support weight and completely ignore or forget active weight. Let me put my work hat on, will the stairs fall? No, will they bounce? Yes, will more things loosen over time? Yes, will they creek? Yes, could these issues have been avoided? Yes, but we have a chipmunk playing framer so you get what you get
Trunkmonkay
No, it wasn't lol
Kilo11
How many stairs have you built? Do you know what those supports are really for? Ever walk up bouncy stairs?
