Off Topic but still Construction

I'm sorry if this post offends sensibilities.  I wanted to show some work that Peter Palumbo did.  My house has, alas, a single car garage and no inside access to the garage.  Having a double car garage means you can put all your crap in the 2nd spot.  I couldn't do anything about the space, but a little hallway inside was, I felt, the perfect size and spot for an inside garage door.  And Peter went to work.

Here's one of the cool parts.  One of my floor plans shows a door!  When Peter started investigating, he kept poking and pulling little bits here and there.  He kept finding 2x4's and 2x6's where there really shouldn't be.  Then he texts me to come see what he's found.  I thought it was either gold or a body.  It was framing for a door!!  The exact size for a 32" door.  I'm guessing the builder put a door in every house... and if the buyer wanted it, and there were room for stairs... fine... otherwise it gets covered.

I now have a beautiful inside garage steel door with stairs that don't creak.  And storage under the stairs.  Thank you, Peter... it's perfect!  No trekking outside to the garage for me this winter!  And just to be clear... I did the painting... otherwise it would look good.

Looks great!

That is great!  Planes in and out of the house, right into the back of the car without going outside!
