Basement Stairwell Takes Shape

Our concrete guy finished pouring the new wall that will encase our outdoor stairwell to the basement. Right now the stairwell is in the kitchen and took up quite a bit of floor space and we both felt it was pretty unsafe having a trap door in the floor, which would be fairly close to where planned to have the kitchen table. Since we have the extra money we decided to have the exterior stairs built, which will definitely be safer, give us the floor space in the kitchen and provide a good cold cellar to store can goods.
