This is brilliant! Now I need to put a second story on my house JUST so I can install this. – Ms. Fix-It

Want. Sadly I don’t have a spiral staircase…
Good news – The slide doesn’t have to spiral. It would work straight down too! Go for it!
Old picture, but still great
To double the fun and a good prank! Put some Gigaloo spay on the slide and hidden yourself when the next guy slide-in!
I’m not sure I want to know what you are talking about. Yeah, I’m positive I need to stay ignorant.
Is that anything like spray silicone; it’s used on medical equipment. I could see using that on the lower half of the slide so that you wouldn’t fly through the window just ZOOM off the bottom.
This is just the ultimate stair construction I’ve ever seen. I’ll have to remember it for my next place & have one built!!
Its a brand of spray lube, but misspelled. Its Jig-a-loo spray.
EPIC WIN! Totally putting one of those in my house.
ололо) шикарно придумано)
gesundheit.
u r hilarious
but either way i soooooo want one

That is 100% full of WIN!!!
Why waste time walking down the stairs when you can simply slide down, and have fun while you’re at it?
I think I’d install mine a smidgen further away from the floor-to-ceiling window, though.
agreed!
How else would the neighbors know to envy you if they can’t see what a cool slide you have?
This is no kludge. Where’s the duct tape? This is actually sheer genius.
That’s why this picture was on the Epic win site months ago.
Yes, this should have been invented sooner and marketed. Now we just need a little ballpit at the bottom.
That would be great for the kiddies, but look at all the wasted space…
Fireman’s Pole for my house. That, or a Paternoster Lift, the old conveyor belt style – Something where Darwin’s Law applies if you shouldn’t be using it.
“wasted space”? It’s taken up by a slide. How on earth is that a waste? Good god man!
He was referring to the staircase when he said “wasted space”.
Spiral stairs take up less space than regular stairs.
Sure the spiral takes up less space, but building code states that spiral stairs can be installed in a home only if they aren’t the main set of stairs. You’d have two sets of stairs.
At least thats what the Canadian building code says.
Will be fun for children living in that house. And for the parents likewise…
I’d continue it down to the basement for the coolest laundry chute ever.
Who wouldn’t want this in their house. This is the most awesome thing I have ever seen.
Well done.
I fail to see the fail in that…a lot easier to get downstairs when you’re wasted!
There’s a pet carrier in the background, I’m guessing this was designed for a cat to go up and down.
I just hope it’s well sanded and finished. Splinters….*SHUDDER*
No one can resist, and lo, they shall all be immediately punished!
*maniacal laughter*
You’ve gotten real mean in your later years, haven’t you?
Or you could always throw a pissed-off cat at the person coming down.
If they kept a bucket or two of marbles at the top, they’ve got a great intrusion-defense mechanism (would also look kinda cool as hundreds of little glass marbles swoosh down the spiral)
the momentum of the marbles would increase and therefore sail out the window in an explosion of glass. and for those not smart in phisics, THE MARBLES WOULD GO FAST AND CRASH THROUGH THE WINDOW!!!
I’m using some scaffolding as a loft bed. And I’m looking for a slide from a swing set for the morning dismount.
WIN!!
What a great way to drag your heavy bags upstairs!
I wantt one! this is so fun.
Extremely cool, but yeah ~ could be a *bit* farther from windows; that slide is a few beers & one wide turn away from a lawsuit
!
Sounds like the beginning of a really groovy party.
My kids would send a bowling ball down that chute and wipe out half of the living room.
Mine would try a water slide.
Move over kids. This is daddy’s water slide.
Yeah, but you’d use lube instead.
Who wouldn’t??
They have one on the LovelyListing page…
Chutes and Ladders 3-D Edition.
Thsi doesn’t seem like much of a Kludge… it’s more like an EpicWinFTW.
It’s a combination of the last two kludges!
I want it…
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Oh chute!
So not a Kludge. Obviously purpose-built.
Still just as cool, though.
How am I supposed to go up when the slide doesn’t even have notches for me to climb?
thats what the stairs are for.
One turn too fast and it’s out the window…
Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce a VERY rare sight: A Kludge I might actually want to try!
Somebody actually fixed it!
Even if it was not broken to start with.
This is the biggest “hotwheels” track I’ve ever seen.
Notice the litter box on the left and visualize the cat utilizing the slide.
I did notice the litter box. I also noticed what appears to be a garden gnome (or maybe an oompa-loompa?) escaping from it.
Picture a sign that says” Beware of Flying Cats”. One slip and kitty is a 10 pound slider
that’s not a litter box – it’s a cat carrier with a cat still inside it. the “garden gnome” is actuall a purse hanging from the knob of a foosball table. gamers delight!!
dont play on the stairs, play around them
Is this what they meant by “handicapped accessible?”
“I’m goin’ upstairs, mum.”
“It’s a bungalow, love.”
Very Sharp!
Whos says there’s a floro above, and not jus a ceiling?
Are there weight restrictions? too small- you fly too large- a call to 911
And, there better be a big pillow there at the bottom for the bottom LOL
WANT! Want so very BAD! Then I’m going to install a swing in my house and a teeter-totter. (did I mention I don’t have kids?) Whoooooo hoooooo!!!!!
MOUSETRAP!!!!!!! (i know there’s a basket somewhere)
This is awesomeness cubed (or maybe pi, since it’s more round). I would never walk down stairs again ! And oddly, yes, I can see the cats using it !! Too bad my current home is one-story.
Since I really wasn’t looking forward to carrying all of these bulky and heavy objects down my spiral staircase, I decided to let things slide.
WIN! Except I would have used randomly sized metal spindles, and provided a drumstick at the top. It would be like an extended doorbell, to announce the arrival of your guests as they slide down to greet you.
What a great idea!
What tune would you have it play?
I could kill to have something like that in my home as a kid!
I want, I want, I want!
The sad thing is that the spiral staircase looks exactly like the one I had growing up. The sadder thing is, it did not have a slide.
You don’t need a second story–just a place to stand while you turn around and sit down. However, as I recall the slide at my grammar school, there was a sand pit at the bottom.
That is awesome.
“Nice Jeff, but is that your butt cheek snagged on that huge splinter up there?”
i soooo want that when i get an actual house!!!!!
I want one / YO QUIERO !
My first thought (after “OOO!!! I WANT ONE!!”) was… bowling ball + slide + plant at the bottom = LARGE mess.
bowling ball + slide + kids/bare feet/aquarium/you-name-it at the bottom = large mess, too. BTW, has anyone seen the cat who belongs to that litter box lately?
Yeah, he’s my 2nd cousin, Bowling Cat. Lazy bastard.
I now need to buy a house with two stories JUST to install this.
Thanks. Really.
I SOOOOO want this for my house !! I think I’d have more fun than my kids !
if the kids go too fast – someone’s head’s going through the nearby glass window and you can bet its not safety glass
Au contraire, you can bet that if someone built a slide that close to a window, of course it’s safety proof glass. Even if there were no slide, no one puts floor to ceiling windows in and buys regular glass. I seriously doubt the contractor would let them, given the huge liability claims risk.
Yeah would be nice, but sorry you can’t afford it.
Again, how embarassing, another Kludge that I just cannot find the error. This is perfection in my book.
Luxembourg Olympic luge team practices in off-season. Cool slidings.
That is the coolest thing ever.
I think you all are overestimating proximity to the window, when in fact, the real error is that the slide is on the outside NEAR the window. Widen the slide, narrow the stairs, and put the slide portion towards the middle rather than the outside. No more fear of broken glass and law suits.
Two words:
I WANT!
There is a toy store in Basel, Switzerland that has a slide like this, I was sorely tempted to try it out…but figured that my butt was just a tad too big…
At last! No more lugging the bowling ball down all those stairs.
Somehow, that seems like it would be useful in the zombie apocalipse. I’m not sure how, it just sorta seems like it.
I’m too lazy to walk *down* the stairs.
I went to a school that had slides next to all the stairs except the freestanding free-form one. That one we slid down the banister..
THAT LOOKS FUN!!
before you build it.. be very prepared to tip your movers.
