Enter Nick Zeb - hardwood floor installer, cabinet hanger, moulding maker and general super hero. All around the hardest working and most honest person we know.
The first step (pun intended) was for us to cut and install wood risers for the stairs. I then framed and drywalled the sides of the stairway where it was previously open. We leveled the stairs and Nick cut down oak treads to match the rest of the hardwood floors in our house. After I removed the vinyl tiles on the landing, Nick installed hardwood there as well. A simple sanding, staining and polyurethaning and voila! Now we have a proper entrance to a proper basement. Gone are the days of trolls reaching for your ankles through the steps as you tip-toe downstairs.
