Description
Stair framing to the loft is complete with treads temporarily decked for access. Vertical studs outline future guard walls and landing. Conor (bundled up) stands on the mid-flight landing, showing scale of the framed opening and headroom beneath the upper stringer.
Visible Elements
- Straight-run stair with framed landing and blocking under stringer
- Open stud walls and OSB sheathing forming the stair enclosure
- Exposed LVL and truss framing overhead with metal connector plates
- OSB subfloor at landing and lower level
Notes
