New stairs (warning: house pics)

After a little stress, we have new stairs! Mark hired a contractor to put in new windows, and he pitched an idea for new stairs. Here is the evolution: Original pic (unbelievably steep stairs with little clearance). Notice that these stairs end before the doorway on the left. No stairs!!

Finished stairs that go beyond the old doorway on the left. Mark can even walk down the stairs without banging his head. Amazing!
