Barry, ..... Great pictures !! After looking at the pic's for awhile, .. I asked myself - "Why didn't they build the staircase running downward along the wall", … 90 degree’s in either direction ? This would have prevented having a gaping hole in the floor at a high traffic area !! Hmmm, I guess that would have taken up too much room in the garage, and they wouldn’t be able to park their John Deer Cadillac ? It never fails to amaze me what some people will do.
