As some of you know I started 3 years ago building out a new space in our basement for my wife. She needs a project room just for her. The space is about 11×20 ft.
This has been a very long road. I stopped earlier this year and actually got a city permit. This turned out to be much simpler than I thought. I did create 10 pages of plans to present. There have been two inspections. First to approve all of the framing. The second was “sheet rock screw patterns” Really ! So the inspectors are very happy. The next inspection will be a final when the room is complete.
This post shows the work I did yesterday completing a replacement of the bottom three steps.
This was part of my plan to try and give some space at the bottom of the stairs. The house was build with a foundation error 25 years ago. ( we moved in 23 years ago, as the second occupants. ). As I see it, the foundation wall next to the second flight of steps was built on the wrong side of the line. So the steps are about 8″ narrow of the original design. I am sure the builder had to have a 2nd sent of concrete blocks laid so the walls of the house would be correct.
So my design for the steps was to try to relieve some of the mess caused by this error.
Took me about 4 hours to rip out old steps and install new. I can cut the dressing borad and partial string 2 years ago, thinking I would need them. The cuts and design turned out perfect. I think the result looks really good.
A few pictures are in the slide show below.
No need to rush into these things. I have a few of these types of projects mellowing.
Sure takes a lot of tools to build a village…or even three steps.
I wouldn’t have thought a building permit would be needed. Let alone dry wall screw patterns. Stairways I can see as safety issue, but dry wall screws? Of course, I haven’t been around that much construction to appreciate how many ways folks can do wild and crazy things.
Have a great day.
Appreciate this post. Let me try it out.
Terrific work! That is the kind of info that should be
shared around the internet. Shame on Google for not positioning this post upper!

Hi there! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?

Hello, I enjoy reading all of your article. I like to write a little comment to support you.
Very descriptive blog, I liked that bit. Will there be a part 2?
Hmm is anyone else having problems with the pictures on this blog loading?
I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or
if it’s the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got
to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of
content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and
tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with
someone!
