We start work on the permanent basement stairs, starting with one partition wall. Those 12 foot sheets of drywall were a bit tricky to spot into place, but in the end they slid nicely from upstairs. Fortunately the temporary stairs are narrower than the permanent ones will be, leaving just enough room for this maneuvering. The other side requires a double wall, one 4" partition wall to clad the stairs side of the steel column, and one 6" plumbing wall which will also clad the column. Theoretically, we should be able to slide the stairs into position to secure between the permanent walls. Theoretically that is.
