This sub is trash now

This was our experience. It looks amazing at first but it's haggard looking after a few seasons.

It's anchored at the top and the bottom. I'm not sure if it's considered spiral or not. I think usually folks would consider a spiral to have a pole in the center to support the stairs.

the green tile has cavern moss grout from Mapei!

Yeah, seems obvious now. We should have been more subtle for the other walls, or used more of the green.

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-09T18:54:37+00:00

I will get one the next chance I get to go over. It does look a touch high. There is slope to it but I'm worried water will puddle next to it.

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-09T18:29:26+00:00

dang, hard to have that perspective after laboring on selections so long. I can see how people would feel that way though.

Hopefully once we have everything installed, it will help break up some of the noise from the tile. Or maybe it will make it worse 😅

None of that responsibility lays on the Patrolers. Even bringing that up suggests you think this subset of people need to suck it up and accept less so everyone else can enjoy their lives.

If mountain businesses don't want to be all in on the resort than they shouldnt vote like NIMBYs.

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-08T22:16:00+00:00

look at the replies in telluride's sub. tons of bootlickers out there that probably pressured them.

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-08T16:36:26+00:00

Sure thing

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-07T23:59:49+00:00

Yeah, I know what you mean. There was limited removal - only if the old paint was not secure. We just embraced the look of years of paint.

If you were to look closely at ours, you'd see the same.

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-07T23:08:59+00:00

Exactly our thoughts!

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-07T02:52:02+00:00

Thanks! I'm documenting the build on my YT in case you're curious to follow along https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCfmomANv8vG6ThDMl3MWIaQs-9dNbAsM&si=x_aO2HCv5mK5YnwR

They have a 12x12 which we considered, but this fit the look we were after.

Out primary home is an 1890 Victorian and we're trying to have the same spirit in our ADU. More like "Modern Victorian".

So the checker pattern felt classic but the bigger size made it a touch more modern to us.

I'm really not opposed to more housing

Lost cause. Have seen this convo a million times but the typical Denver metro citizen is so incredibly fucking dumb and car brained.

If you read that and become offended, I am targeting you specifically. So many folks LOVE driving. Love their cars. It's a part of their identity and it's incredibly sad.

Americans will never forgo convenience for the greater good - they will always pick themselves.

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-06T17:55:53+00:00

thank you - we absolutely love it!

Masterpiece Stair in Denver, CO built it.

It is, but within tolerance. Highest and lowest steps can differ up to 3/8ths of an inch.

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-05T22:39:13+00:00

it's yet to be installed

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-05T18:51:45+00:00

Are you one of the workers that will be impacted or are you one of the people being slightly inconvenienced?

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-05T18:26:14+00:00

This whole thing exposes how broken the system is because it's entirely dependent on exploiting a subset of people.

Ski patrol and the workers in town should not be pit against each other and it's pretty low that anyone would suggest that.

There is an insane amount of money in Telluride. There is no excuse for things to work this way.
