I’m an impostor. I live in Durham now… we’ve got an abundance of these.

God I am a complete idiot. I blame the baby for reducing me to 4 hours of sleep every night. In my additional defense, I was just explaining to a Caraleigh resident that their mill village is the only one still in Raleigh (Raleigh Hosiery Mill does have 4 houses left down from an original 30 or so).
Thanks for straightening my a$$ out.

I live in Carrboro… even further away. And I’m moving to Durham soon. Ah well.

It’s one metro area who cares?

Forgot to post this the other day but new floors have been poured at Dusty’s (aka Sam Jones BBQ)
Progress. Also I nominate the area around the Fairweather below Cabarrus as Raleigh’s SouthSide.

Coming along, but I’m not sure that stairway is ADA compliant…

Looks like typical stairway in Tibet to me. They must not be to bad, I only slipped once in 3 weeks and that was going up. Resulted in a bloody kneecap after tripping on top step with high gap to floor.

Don’t want it confused with anyone else’s.

I can almost guarantee it’s ADA. We changed our closet in our floor plan and it had to be ADA compliant and designed/sealed by the architect.

Edit: I see the ladder you’re talking about now I have my doubts as well.

Well, to be fair, no stair is going to be ADA compliant because it’s, well, a stair.

pBeez · February 24, 2020, 1:21pm

Would a stair equipped with a full-time staff of Sherpas to carry folks be considered ADA compliant? Asking for a friend.

Are they still planning on building something taller next door to this.

OakCityDylan · February 24, 2020, 5:15pm

I asked the new company that acquired that land on the end of the same block and haven’t heard.

Alan · February 24, 2020, 6:11pm

Stairs are still required to meet certain requirements per ADA. It’s not all about wheelchairs.

John · February 24, 2020, 8:51pm

ADA is a civil rights legislation, not a code. Code officials want to meet the ADA to avoid lawsuits.

Alan · February 24, 2020, 9:07pm

What’s in the ADA is now in the building code in the form of ANSI A117.1, which is the accessibility code. And, it’s not the building officials who get sued.

SO anyways, I was just making a joke… lol

That ladder tho
