Stairway to...the basement?

Okay, so a week or so ago, my brother Steve came to help me at the Manor.  We put a new floor in the future bathroom, but more importantly, we got a good start on the stairs to the basement.  We had to do this because as it was, one had to go outside to get to the basement-- no inside access.  We cut the floor and started the runners.  I have now finished them. We can now get to and from the basement at will.  That also means that we can enter the building through the basement and go upstairs.  Glenn B helped me to fix the basement doors so that they can lock from inside and out instead of using the hasp and padlock.  Major victory.  Next is the restroom that I keep putting off.  Problem is that I have tons of set work to do for the show "Willie Wonka" AND I have hurt my back again.  It never rains but what it pours.  Speaking of that, this summer has not been nearly as hot or dry as last year.  Good thing cuz I think I would be dying right now if it was. 

 Here are pics of the stairs progress.  I have since finished the stairs after having to expand the hole in the floor to save headaches to anyone taller than an Oompa Loompa.
