Question for you guys and yes I'm sure it varies by state/town etc...
We're thinking of remodeling our basement. It's not that old (early 1990's) but the addition was done by total hacks.
Most of the job is simple, gut, new board, floor, rebuilt a closet etc...
We're going to try and fix the stairs which are really bad. I think we can get the rise/run to code (just barely) by creating some more head room and reinforcing the joists above with a post. It's going to cut into my closet shoe space so you guys can appreciate how much this is going to hurt
I don't see a way we can get the width to code without major surgery but it's not bad. The opening in the floor is 32"-33".
How much leeway will an inspector give when you're trying to make it better but might not be perfect? I've already drawn up my own plan but haven't pulled a permit.
thanks,
