Snohomish Garage Stairs Project

Last updated 10/30/2016.

Materials

There is enough room at the floor level for one additional step before hitting the garage door track.
The area to the left of the lower flight of stairs (where the blue trash can is in the first picture) is free; we can expand in there if we move the trash can and a freestanding shelving unit.
Please take a good look at the last picture of the step into the house. The landing is too low; even the step stool there only helps a bit. I'd like to get that landing closer to the level of the door base.
The final version of the stairs needs solid railings on both sides. There is a grab bar on the lower stairs, and a second, unused grab bar in the corner. The banister on the right (going up) of the upper stairs is solid, but might be a little low.
The current stairs should probably be completely replaced, since either they - or the left-hand railings - are a little rickety.
