Basement Stair Cover - Almost Done



I started this project a couple of weeks ago and am nearly finished. This is a classic old-house basement entrance with external stairwell. Since we bought the house we have been using the old rotting wood cover - not really a door, just a four foot wide panel made out of boards fastened together that we had to lift off and set aside to use the stairs. The panel finally fell apart and even with a tarp draped over it was letting a lot of rainwater into the basement, which forced my hand.

This was a fun project to do and the best part is that I got the lumber for free. Lee Ann brought it back from the barn where they had no use for it. The boards are nice tongue and groove material. One more coat of paint and I'm done.
