There is no jumping required to use these stairs, only ducking if you are over five feet tall. I still have to cut out a portion of the floor in the pantry, but we are waiting until the cabinets get built for safety reasons. So I only had my cell phone pictures of this great event, but here they are anyway - if you keep them small, you can get the idea :)
This first picture is before, and from the landing at the top of the stairs. The existing stairs are cement, and there is a 20 inch drop from the landing to the first cement stair. This picture also shows the walls I built yesterday!
This is a split entry. The stairs going up have been there for a few weeks, but I was taking my time on gettting the lower stairs built because of all the walls that needed to be built.
