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.

Front Windows and Deck Ledger

 Finally getting started on the front basement windows.  Will also be installing the ledger for the front deck, so some extra demo of the stucco was required.  My temporary vent cover stucco was a little harder to remove, so I haven't done it yet in these pictures.

Basement Bedroom Window

 Finally getting the first new window installed in the basement bedroom.  There was some wood rot under it, so I had to replace that wood, and update the sheathing.  Ran out of sealing tape so it's only partly done in the last picture.

Revised Prototype

 Playing with paint to make the bookshelf a little more dramatic and separate it more from the upper wall. Ignore the water stain, washing machine delivery. Looks good so far.  If I continue to like it I'll make a more permanent shelf later when it's time to finish the house.  I used scrap for this one, so the top will obviously go all the way to the far wall, and I'll integrate it with the bricks better.
