No More Egress

Needed to get the basement doors finally boarded up.  These were the old egress from the basement into the carport, but since it's a garage now it's not a valid egress so they had to be removed.  Here is the before:

 And here is the after

According to code the entire wall between the house and garage must have drywall on it, so I'll probably do that pretty soon.  This is a long time in coming, as the old double doors never closed right and leaked air like a sieve.  This will also be the first wiring drop for the garage wiring, so getting this done now allows me to wire the garage properly.

The original cover I had over the stairs was really hard to get up, more than I planned, as each section was just too big.  So I'll have to redesign that a little bit.
