Stairs

The stairs in the house are waaaay out of code spec.  Treads are too short, and the risers range from 6" to 9" in height.  So, going to rebuild all 3 stairs.  Starting with the basement stairs.  To fit everything in with proper tread length and rise per code, I'm using a landing on the basement and upstairs stair set.  Will get code inspection when I start the rest of the remodel so I can do it all on one permit.

Garage Door Openers

Old garage doors/openers had issues.  No remote for one, iffy remote connection for the others, and very noisy and bumpy.  Doors themselves were ok, but put new rollers in, and found a good deal on modern 3/4 hp garage door openers.  Got one installed.

More Room For Activities

 Knew there was some empty space under the stairs, good use of space for long-term storage. Could put a door on it but probably doesn't need it since that is all in a closet already.  I'll reinforce the upper beam and remove the 2 studs.

Windows Starting

 Removing the drywall and trim around the windows so that I can measure for replacements.  Also cut the drywall around the water plumbing that was exposed in the basement.  Discovered it was just really, really lazy plumbing.  They moved the exterior faucet and didn't bother to replumb correctly.
