Re: Stairs
After living in the last house, a bungalow on the mainland, if I left my specs on the bed and was in the kitchen, it was 75x2 steps to retrieve them.
One point is the infinite variations that have emerged during the years. From a vine to climb back into the cave to broad sweeping stairs of the '30's films mansions. Wood, stone, brick cast iron and so on.
We live in a house now, and the stairs are much better for exercise than yards of bungalow.
